Wikis+For+Learning

A wiki is a system that allows one or more people to build up a body of knowledge in a set of interlinked web pages. The most famous wiki is Wikipedia. 

Example of Educational Uses:

 * 1) Wikis can be used for the creation of annotated reading lists by teachers.
 * 2) Wikis can be used in class projects, and are particularly suited to the incremental accretion of knowledge by a group, or production of collaboratively edited material, including material documenting group projects.
 * 3) Wikis can be used by teachers to supply scaffolding for writing activities – thus in a group project a teacher can supply page structure, hints as to desirable content, and then provide feedback on student generated content.
 * 4) Students can flag areas of the wiki that need attention, and provide feedback on each other’s writing.
 * 5) In a group project where a wiki is being developed collaboratively, RSS feeds can be used to keep all members of the group up to date with changes as they can be automatically notified of changes as they are made.
