Wikis:
What is wiki?
Wiki is a webpage that can be edited and viewed by people that have access to the internet. A wiki can be a good resource of any type of information. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly. Users can incorporate movies, sounds, videos, and images. The first wiki appeared in the 90’s.
Why is wiki significant?
Wikis provide a powerful and collaborative communication tool to students and faculty. Students can access to wikis through the internet and participate from anywhere. Wikis, also, allow faculty to get involved and participate.
Downsides:
Wikis can be modified or edited by any user, and because of this wikis are checked and revised by a group of people that are authorized to do so, and delete any inappropriate language or modify incorrect information.
This checking process demands a lot of time and requires the assistance of many people.
