paul loweThere are growing expectations among college students to be able to access and manage their course materials over the World Wide Web. In its early days, faculty would create web pages by hand for posting this information. As Internet technologies and access have matured over the past decade, course and learning management systems such as Blackboard and Web CT have become the norm for distributing such materials. In today's Web 2.0 world, wikis have emerged as a tool that may complement or replace the use of traditional course management systems as a tool for disseminating course information. Because of a wiki's collaborative nature, its use also allows students to participate in the process of course management, information sharing, and content creation. Using examples from an information technology classroom, this paper describes several ways to structure and use a wiki as a course management tool, and shares results of a student survey on the effectiveness of such an approach on student learning.\n\nKeywords: Wiki, Course Management, Collaboration, Web 2.0, Content Creation, Student Learning.

In today’s Web 2.0
world, wikis have emerged as a tool that may
complement or replace the use of traditional course
management systems as a tool for disseminating
course information. Because of a wiki’s
collaborative nature, its use also allows students
to participate in the process of course management,
information sharing, and content creation. -

This paper describes best practices for using a
collaborative web application known as a wiki to
augment a traditional course management system. -
y introducing a wiki for collaborative
course management, students also learn to interact
with a real world tool, enabling them to accomplish
some tasks that would be more cumbersome if not
impossible using a traditional course management
system. -
Wikis are useful for students to share their class
notes (O’Neill, 2005; Guth, 2007). O’Neill proposes
that “the instructor places skeletal lecture notes
onto a wiki site, and students flesh them out with
materials they have learned in class...” -
Maloney (2007) suggests that today’s course
management systems are not being used to their
fullest potential. Because they are “built around
the … course, not the … student,” -

play most often is like that of an advanced

In one project, each group set up its own wiki page
to chronicle work and share materials with other
group members. A template provides the structure for
students to enter their names and tasks completed. -
To promote collaboration, two or three students are
assigned specific dates throughout the semester to
post their notes from class to the wiki. To ensure
that they were posted in a timely fashion, students
had to complete their wiki notes prior to the start
of the following class. Classmates then reviewed
these “Wikipedia-style” notes pages, and added
information that they learned but the original
authors may have omitted. -
The instructor provided a
template containing the class date, space for the
contributors to enter their names, and a blank page
below for the notes.

Joan Vinall-CoxExcellent overview of how to use a wiki to contain and extend a course. Matches (and extends) my own experience. "This paper describes techniques and pedagogical considerations when using a wiki to augment a traditional course management system, and presents best practices for their use. Building a course around the use of a wiki invites students to become involved in the process of creating course content and sharing their knowledge with their classmates. The results of this study suggest that many first year college students only have a cursory knowledge of what wikis are, and incorporating their use in the classroom will add value not only to students' studying and learning, but also to their potential success as future knowledge workers and technology professionals."\n\n
