Wiki types
There are three wiki types: Teacher, Groups, Student. In addition, like any activity, the wiki has the Moodle group modes: "No Groups" "Separate Groups" and "Visible Groups". This leads to the following matrix of nine possibilities:
No Groups | Separate Groups | Visible Groups | |
---|---|---|---|
Teacher | There is only one wiki which only the teacher can edit. Students can view the contents. | There is one wiki for every group which just the teacher can edit. Students can view the wiki of their group only. | There is one wiki for every group which just the teacher can edit. Students can view the wikis for all groups. |
Groups | There is only one wiki. The teacher and all students can view and edit this wiki. | There is one wiki per group. Students can view and edit the wiki of their own group only. | There is one wiki per group. Students can change the wiki of their own group only. They can view the wikis for all groups. |
Student | Every student has their own wiki which only they and their teacher can view and edit. | Every student has their own wiki, which only they and their teacher can edit. Students can view the wikis of other students in their group. | Every student has their own wiki, which only they and their teacher can edit. Students can view the wikis of all other students in the course. |
- A teacher can always edit every wiki in the course
I am particulary interested in being able to allow members of the same group to edit their own wiki pages, but only view the pages of other groups, without being able to edit them. In the old wiki version this would have been the 'Groups-VisibleGroups' setup.
In DFwiki (version 2006041201) this setup does not seem to be possible. Will future versions of DFwiki include the 'group' settings that existed in the original version?
