In today’s Web 2.0
world, wikis have emerged as a tool that may
complement or replace the use of traditional course
management systems as a tool for disseminating
course information. Because of a wiki’s
collaborative nature, its use also allows students
to participate in the process of course management,
information sharing, and content creation.

y introducing a wiki for collaborative
course management, students also learn to interact

Wikis are useful for students to share their class
notes (O’Neill, 2005; Guth, 2007). O’Neill proposes

In one project, each group set up its own wiki page
to chronicle work and share materials with other
group members. A template provides the structure for
students to enter their names and tasks completed.

To promote collaboration, two or three students are
assigned specific dates throughout the semester to
post their notes from class to the wiki. To ensure
that they were posted in a timely fashion, students
had to complete their wiki notes prior to the start
of the following class. Classmates then reviewed
these “Wikipedia-style” notes pages, and added
information that they learned but the original
authors may have omitted.

The instructor provided a
template containing the class date, space for the
contributors to enter their names, and a blank page
below for the notes.
