It shows they must want technically capable people - attracts our interest and so much easier for us to use.
ReplyDeleteA person with limited computer use like me, would find this really intimidating. I get anxious when a professor puts assignments and sylabi on-line. I'm used to handouts! Now I see that even getting a job is taking a progressive step ahead. Visiting a wiki? I'd say if you want the job, you'd better get on the ball and learn how to be tech-savvy. If not, there will be plenty of other people ready to jump for the job you want. I'm currently using a wiki as a student for a group project and it's not as difficult as I thought it would be. Slowly, but surely (and maybe a little stubbornly) even I'm moving ahead.
