What is a Wiki?
• “A Wiki is a website that allows the visitors to easily add, remove, edit and change available content.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

www.edutopia.org
• “A Wiki has turned out be much more than I imagined.” Ward Cunningham- First Wiki Release www.wiki.org

Wikis vs. Blogs and Discussion Boards
Wikis Blogs Disc. Boards
More flexible More structured
Content change- link to future
Can’t alter some content- link to past
Users can’t change content
Correct inaccuracies False statements stay
Editing- constant Sometimes can’t be edited.
Working together Debate over topics Debate in difficult to follow format.
Many authors Single author lead Difficult to follow
