What is a wiki?

A wiki is a website that any authorized user can modify (not just the author), all without knowledge of web publishing software.

Uses of wikis:

1. The wiki can be used for students to develop parts of the course outline.

2. The wiki can be to create and maintain collaborative class notes.

3. Students can post essays on the wiki, then read and comment on each others’ papers.
