Enhancing Collaboration with Wikis

Wikis are powerful tools for collaboration, promoting accountability, and building classroom communities. They allow continuous contributions and discussion, facilitating analysis of user statistics and tracking user changes. Wikis encourage community learning outcomes, emphasize strengths as assets, and combine resources effectively. Different kinds of wiki projects include articles, annotated texts, bibliographies, dictionaries, and study guides. Challenges include the learning curve, intimidation, and assigning credit, which can be addressed with encouragement and balanced grading. Wikis are more collaborative than blogs, more focused than bulletin boards, and less ephemeral than both. Various wiki software options and hosted wiki platforms are available, along with enterprise solutions for organizational needs.
