three award-winning educational wikis on Wikispaces. These wikis have been used to interact with schools from around the world, share classroom activity, and turn online class notes into end-of-year exams. They're great examples of how wikis can be used to create engaging learning experiences.

Utter the words "group project" and you're likely to hear at least a few groans from your students. The reasons for their dislike of group work are many, but logistical difficulties of getting everyone together and lazy group members who don't pull their own weight are two of the biggest complaints.\n\nWith wikis, you're able to remove these two obstacles because wiki sites not only make collaboration a breeze, but they contain tracking tools that let instructors see who's contributing to the project, and when they're making those contributions.

what is a wiki? why do wikis work? wikis in education
is a service that allows students to share course notes using a wiki. Sites are created for individual classes and students can post their own lecture notes or contribute to existing notes.
The STOLEN principle, breaks down some of the features of using wikis educationally in order to increase the chances of the wiki being successful, and meeting the desired learning outcomes set by the tutor. It is by no means essential to meet all of these criteria, but meeting more rather than less, may increase the chances of the wiki working. These rules will probably need to be modified as the technology improves and wiki become more culturally mainstream, but as a starter these rules give a tutor some guidance.
