Wiki@UCSF

A wiki is a web-based tool that allows for users to contribute content, upload files, share documents, link to other wiki pages, or link to websites outside of the wiki. You can request a wiki that is open to the Wiki@UCSF user community or to a private group of users.

RefShare is an easy way to share references or bibliographies with colleagues or students. Share your whole database or just specific folders. All RefWorks users have access to RefShare.

The Center for Instructional Technology offers hardware and software to assist in the creation of podcasts. The CIT also offers Podcasts@UCSF as a platform for hosting and distributing your files. For information on capturing events or classes that occur on the UCSF campus, Instructional Research and Technology Services offers professional-quality video recording and production on a fee basis.
