Technology Overview

A wiki is simply a website that allows individuals or groups of collaborators to rapidly add or change its content, using an editor in the web browser. Wikis can be a powerful asynchronous collaboration tool in teaching and learning. Typical uses include structuring group work, or capturing a knowledge repository that has been built up by a class.

Use Case and Benefits

Students can co-create files with real-time collaborative writing and editing. Changes are tracked by each author in revision history.
Facilitate peer review using commenting features
Create template files for students to fill in or copy and edit
Create one large collection of work created by the class in an easy to create and navigate page structure
