Wikis – Overview

References provided in Literature Section

Wikis are editable websites often used for collaboration between group members by providing a shared workspace. Wikis can be public or private, with individual privileges assigned to add, edit, and delete content. Many wikis are fully customizable, meaning that one can change the structure and text, pictures or other content formats. A web browser is the only requirement needed to work in a wiki, which means no programming skills are required. Wikis support collaboration, case studies, and critical thinking, and encourage student participation as well as enhance student motivation.
