  There 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.

  wiki education coursemanagement

  • 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.
  • Traditional course management systems such as
    Blackboard, Moodle, or WebCT
  • 10 more annotations...
  • • are often
      document-centered
    • 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,”
    • “The role that the systems
      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.

  Excellent 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
