<!--Durham Tech doesn't have any policies that I know of that would prevent you from setting up a wiki on one of the above sites and then getting your students to set up account on it so they can use it. Most wiki sites let you place restrictions on who can edit your wiki (you would want to limit this to your students, I would think) and also who can view it (you may or may not want it to be publicly viewable, I can see cases both ways). -->
