Wikis allow a group of people to collaboratively create (and edit) web pages.
There are several web sites that offer free wikis that are pretty easy to use. I've played around some with the first 2 listed below; have not yet tried out the 3rd:
- http://www.wetpaint.com/ (practice site)
- http://www.wikispaces.com/ (practice site)
- http://pbwiki.com/
Wiki Resources
Simple video that explains what wikis are all about.
This site has some helpful tips but you have to hunt around a bit.
- Book in the DTCC library on using wikis in education:
