"Welcome to the Wetpaint Wikis in Education, a place where educators come together to share tips about using wikis to enhance the learning experience." (Wetpaint)
"Collaborative writing is useful for projects, for peer-editing, and for many other writing tasks limited only by teacher/student imagination. Web-based collaborative writing tools may be used by teachers to provide feedback on student assignments, to make suggestions and comments on a projects and highlighting required changes to a member of the project." (Techlearning)
"n a small-scale implementation where the technology incorporated does not include a LMS, there may be no features to help teachers develop such a schedule of activities. On the other hand, if the online course is built around a wiki or blog, the teacher is not constrained by the LMS interface." (Verso)
"I’ve been asked how wikis in Moodle relate to the read-write matrix I published recently. There is significant correlation, because the standard wiki module installed with Moodle offers various settings to control who has read access and who has write access." (Verso)
"A wiki is a type of free on-line writing space that allows users to add, modify and update its pages. If something is missing or incorrect in a wiki and permissions allow you to edit the wiki, you can easily add your thoughts or make changes to the wiki. It is essientially a fully editable web site." (Teaching Hacks)
"Using wikis for project management on a liberal arts campus was the subject of a recent conference presentation. Occidental College's Lisa Spencer (Director, Support Services) and Gayle Burns (Manager, Academic Technologies) presented to an Educause regional conference. Their report (pdf) describes their process of working with and deciding between two different tools, the benefits and problems of using a wiki, user support issues, and lessons learned." (Liberal Education Today)
Here is the list of popular open source Wiki engines. (TechCorner)
At its simplest expression, a wiki is a web page that anybody can edit. The spirit behind the original wiki idea is that any user of the World Wide Web could now read and write at the same time using their web browser, therefore simplifying the web editing process. (Univ of DE)
This presentation includes specific ideas, tips, and mini lessons centered on the pedagogical use of web tools. All teachers need ways to easily and effectively weave these tools into the curriculum/instruction.
Institutions increasingly encourage students to take an active role in their own learning. Wikis can facilitate this process by offering many ways for faculty and students to collaborate and create content. This panel of wiki experts from Boise State University and Occidental College will discuss their experiences in using wikis, including emergent roles in the teaching and learning process, critical to the effective use of this new technology. (EDUCAUSE CONNECT)
Within this space, Jo Kay (aka jokay Wollongong) and Sean FitzGerald (aka Sean McDunnough) document a detailed list of Educational Uses of Second Life, provide a range of useful resources for educators, and link to a range of handy Second Life online resources.

Ferris and Wilder argue that wikis provide one possible tool to help bridge the gap between teachers and students. They contend that wikis draw upon the best aspects of print and secondary orality by offering a medium in which information is neither fixed in format (as it was in the print age) nor limited to locale (as it was before the print age) but still changeable to meet the needs of the community, freely accessible to remote parties, and easily archived for future use. After addressing some of the debates that have characterized the legitimacy of wikis as learning resources, Ferris and Wilder illustrate and discuss potential uses for wikis in educational settings, and they offer resources for teachers interested in using such technology in their work.
