== Why a Wiki for Portland NET? == | == Why a Wiki for Portland NET? == | ||
Portland NET is not a typical CERT program. NET's large membership base and commitment to community learning mean that NET can branch into areas of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery that many CERT programs do not find the opportunity to explore. That also means NET has become a relatively complicated program with specialized areas of expertise. | |||
The strength of Portland NET is its people: their knowledge and diversity of experience. By using a collaborative platform, a Wiki preserves institutional knowledge long after key PBEM staffers with limited time come and go. The Wiki does not supplement PBEM's community engagement; it is a part of PBEM's community engagement. | |||
Add to that a Wiki's interlinking capabilities, ease of use and familiar formatting, capacity to present information that engages with multiple learning styles, and scalability, and it's easy to see why a Wiki would evolve into a critical part of the NET ecosystem. | |||
