Wiki What? A Practical Introduction to Building Wikis for Teaching and Learning

A wiki is a website that permits joint authorship and editing of content—a powerful collaboration tool for learners, teachers, and administrators. This workshop focuses on helping teachers and learners utilize wikis to effectively collaborate and learn, as well as showcase work for a global audience. We will look at how wikis have evolved to include inspirational examples of teacher and learner wikis. Participants will create a wiki they can use and develop after the session. The session will leave you inspired to take the next steps with educational wikis, whether you’re exploring wikis for the first time, wanting to implement new best practices, or ready to innovate and lead the way.
