What is a wiki?
(Definition summarized from information provided on the
Teaching Learning & Technology (TLT) Group Website. A wiki is a
collaborative website comprised of many authors. Anyone can make
additions, deletions, or changes to the content on a wiki. The first
wiki was developed by Ward Cunningham in 1995. Wikis are popular
with academia, scientists, IT Techies, and other knowledge
communities.
Wikipedia, an
open content encyclopedia, is a popular wiki.
Listservs, blogs, and wikis can be incorporated into the classroom.
