Why Wiki?

Does anyone know of any good Web sites that explain why participating in a wiki is good for students as a method of consolidating their learning? Especially good would be something written with the students themselves as the audience.

I don't know of any websites but I do know from experience that I have used wikis when I want the students to work together to come up with a project or solve a problem. I have assigned the students to work in groups and they each build up or respond to part of a problem. The wiki gives a way for them to create and edit one another's work allowing them to be part of the creative process while also checking each others work for accuracy. Peace.

In this case, the wiki isn't required, and the students are adults. What I want to make clear to them is how they will benefit personally from participating in a wiki.

Wiki-fun expressed in adult words: Working together on a multipage document with the comfort of a "per page" version archive ..

It is sometimes quite useful to be able to look at the history of the wiki and see exactly who made exactly which contributions to a project. (Have to give credit to Lesli Smith for pointing this out to me some time ago.)

Greetings, N!

I ran across this today and remembered your post here.  Have a look!

I am interested in tiddlywiki, as a means for creating my own 'knowledge' web--on a thumb drive!  I like the idea of doing collaborative research projects, since that is practical.  For some reason I like the more tactile idea of clicking to interconnected material than trying to draw a mind map that is purely visual.  I think of it, in my own mind, of "going there", even when "there" is a virtual place.

Someday, perhaps you can give us a report on what your students did!  Although using a wiki is probably no longer cutting edge or innovative to some intrepid souls, I think it is to most of us who swim midstream!

The interesting idea of tiddlyWiki is that a student can take his working wiki to an another platform when his next school does not (yet) use Moodle.

Ludo was playing with that some time ago, but I do not know the current status.

I would like it in two flavors:

  • as a resource (rights handled by a kind of resource envelop?)
  • as a textfilter (then only possible as multi user microcontent?)

Maybe intersting version: http://checkettsweb.com/tw/tiddlywikise.htm
