  • Mader talks about powerful ways to use wikis in education, content ownership issues, and how wikis tend to be used--and why.
  • In higher ed, there are really three ways I think a wiki can be useful: teaching, research, and administration.
  • teachers can work together using a wiki to write curriculum and lesson plans for courses, to develop assignments, and so forth. If you have multiple teachers teaching sections of a course and they need to teach from the same materials, they have a central hub to which they can collaboratively contribute material ... and then from which they can teach and keep all their sections.
  • For students, wikis are beneficial primarily as a collaborative tool for things like group assignments in courses.
