Hi, How are you? Hope, you all fine.

Do you know what is WIKI?

I CAN TELL!

Let's get started!

 Wiki is a web technology used for collaborative publishing on the web. Wiki is a type of server software that allows you to work with data on a remote server on the Web. Users interact with the software through a web interface that lets them read, edit and publish content.

Wiki is used for collaborative publishing. A group of co-authors can freely add and change the content of the wiki website: rewrite texts, add new texts and images, add and link pages and more. To do so, the group needs access to the website via the Internet and proper authorization. The wiki owner can restrict editing to a group of collaborators (e. g., students or colleagues), publish to a wiki individually or open it for global editing by everyone on the web.

Unlike other publishing platforms, wikis are:
• heavily based on collaboration,
• non-linear and not based on time (unlike blogs),
• are purely content-oriented (unlike conventional content management systems, that are design-driven).

HOW TO USE WIKI
IN EDUCATION?

Wikis have a wide range of educational applications, most of which can be combined within one wiki site. The following activities can be fulfilled on one platform without significant interference and thereby can form a part of an integrated educational resource:

  • Student's Profiles
  • Student's Portfolios
  • Course Grade Book
  • Dynamic Syllabus
    and Course Authoring Environment
  • Project Space
  • FREE WIKI TOOLS

    • Wikispaces proves to be one of the best, highly reliable, easy to use and intuitive free wiki platforms to use as your wiki platform. With at least 100 MB of file storage space, it can prove sufficient for most academic needs of a small group. Recent classroom-oriented updates makes Wikispates your top choice for classroom wiki use.
    • Wikia offers a more modern look, has more features and a vast fan base for attracting commercially active communities — Twilight fans, healthy food fans and alike. Less suitable for educational use for incessant advertising on every page of your wiki.
    • ZohoWiki provides state-of-the-art interface and functions for a modern corporate-inclined wiki. Best for tech-savvy classrooms.
    • Wiki Site is a native WikiMedia-based free wiki hosting with limited features and resources.
    • WikiDot offers free plans for wiki sites with advertising. Standard wiki functionality.

  • WIKI EXPERIENCE

  • What interested me the most is  Vicky Davis, Wonderful world of Wikis — Vicky Davis offers a wide selection of beautiful wiki examples in education.

Everything is accessible and well written. I advise you to watch a fascinating presentation!

Have a good luck! BYE-BYE
