=Mediawiki vs. E-Learning=

Really the two should not be compared, since they are completely different from one another. Group homework assignments should not be done on either platform for the type of homework reports that Vu-Quoc wants. Having said that,

Mediawiki Pros:
 * Attractive looking pages are relatively easy to create
 * Equations, pictures, etc. can be included

Mediawiki Cons:
 * Mediawiki code can be tedious and time consuming
 * There is no spell checker
 * Work can be vandalized
 * Work can be easily plagarized
 * Occasionally, an error will occur, thus all work is lost when trying to save a page
 * Work will not be saved if someone else edits the page while editing it

E-Learning Pros:
 * Team communication is easier
 * Work cannot be vandalized
 * Grade information is more easily accessible

E-Learning Cons:
 * Equations cannot be included
