Wiki

Unlike a blog a wiki is a type of website that allows visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change the available content However I think Wikis can be very useful in the classroom if used in the right context and beneficial if used under close supervision.

Strengths of Wiki:

  • · Encourages good social interaction.
  • · Fosters collaborative learning.
  • · Allows student’s to learn anytime any place.
  • · Allows student to contribute at any time.
  • · Student’s are actively involved in their construction of their knowledge.

Weaknesses of Wiki:

  • · Allows anyone to view the webpage.
  • · Risk of no pedagogy being involved.
