????這種教育甚至可以應(yīng)用到虛擬環(huán)境中。應(yīng)用合作軟件，每個(gè)人都可以分享實(shí)時(shí)的修改和建議，使得志愿者更容易真正參與進(jìn)來(lái)。依靠免費(fèi)的合作軟件，WIKISPEED連接起了遍布全球的成員。

????盡管WIKISPEED誕生于一個(gè)一次性的挑戰(zhàn)活動(dòng)，但在X汽車(chē)大獎(jiǎng)之后，它已發(fā)展成為一個(gè)志愿者社區(qū)。團(tuán)隊(duì)現(xiàn)在擁有超過(guò)150名志愿者，他們通過(guò)各種短期項(xiàng)目為實(shí)現(xiàn)改善環(huán)境的最終愿景而努力。WIKISPEED作為一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)已經(jīng)取得了多項(xiàng)重大成功：目前，他們的原型車(chē)在高速公路上的油耗已達(dá)到每加侖114英里的水平，在全球最大車(chē)展做專(zhuān)題展出，并以2.5萬(wàn)美元價(jià)格出售。

????但其成員的熱情和團(tuán)隊(duì)技能發(fā)展的速度讓人相信他們?cè)谖磥?lái)將更有作為。“如果我們只有短期視野，”賈斯蒂斯說(shuō)，“X汽車(chē)大獎(jiǎng)之后團(tuán)隊(duì)就會(huì)解散了。”相反的，WIKISPEED已經(jīng)更上一層樓，除了自身項(xiàng)目的工作，他們還和SolutionsIQ合作，將某些流程應(yīng)用于其它組織。實(shí)際上，所有公司不管規(guī)模大小，都能從他們的成功中學(xué)到點(diǎn)什么。

????This type of education can even be used in virtual environments. Using collaboration software allows individuals to share real-time edits and suggestions and makes it easy for volunteers to become meaningfully involved. WIKISPEED relies on free collaboration software tools to connect individuals all over the globe.

????Though WIKISPEED was born from a one-off challenge, it has developed into a community of volunteers since the X-Prize. The team now includes over 150 volunteers working towards an ultimate vision of improving the environment through short-term projects. WIKISPEED has achieved several great successes as a group -- their current prototype, which gets 114 mpg on the highway, was prominently featured at the world's largest auto show and is available for sale for $25,000.

????But the passion of its members and the team's rate of skill development leave no doubt that the group will take on even more going forward. "If we only had a short-term vision," Justice says, "the team would have dissolved after the X-Prize." Instead, WIKISPEED has taken the mission further, teaming up with SolutionsIQ to apply some of these processes to other organizations even as they work on their own projects. Indeed, companies of all sizes can learn from what they managed to pull off.
