Wikis
Wikis are a collaborative tool that allow students to contribute and modify one or more pages of related material, including text, graphics, files, and links. The wiki tool can be shared in a variety of ways between whole and small groups of students.
Wikis in Plain English is a short movie describing what a wiki is and how it can be used in a collaborative process.
Use to collaboratively build knowledge
A primary goal for using a wiki is to build a shared repository of knowledge—a one-stop area where information is searched, updated, and accessed easily and quickly.
Use according to your instructional needs and goals
You can use wikis as course content or graded assignments, such as:
- A glossary
- A white paper
- Class summaries and outlines.
- A resources repository
- Lab experiments
- Student solutions for scenarios and case studies.
- Group project presentations
