Most recently, it is developing wikis to collect the latest information, best practices, and learnings on key topics within digital marketing. These wiki pages will be based on student papers and independent study projects but can be updated and added to by anyone in the U-M community.

Our initial wikis will cover the following topics:

Once developed, these pages will be a place to turn for anyone in the U-M community interested in learning and sharing information. And anyone with a U-M ID can contribute, edit, or update them, subject to Yaffe Center supervision and controls.
