What is a Wiki? Sharp(2009) defines a Wiki as a website that allows the user to view, edit, and add information. Wikis can be used in online education for interaction and collaboration between learners. Wikis are an ideal tool for allowing learners that may not meet face to face to collaborate on a group project. Group projects require students to come together and delegate different responsibilities for the project amongst themselves. The students could list all of the different assignments that need to be completed in the Wiki, and then each individual student can log in to the Wiki and edit the page to show what part of the project they will work. Students can then complete their portion of the project and upload it onto the Wiki page for others to discuss and make changes. Feel free to go to here and start your own Wiki.
