Click here to view my Managing E-Learning wiki.
I have actually used Wikis previously in a group assessment setting and found it to be a positive experience. The main reason the group decided to use it was because members had difficulty arranging face to face meetings due to other commitments and instead could log on anytime at home to share ideas for the assessment task. It was especially helpful when we were required to develop a script for an oral presentation. Each member was able to place their paragraph into the document and edit according to the other members to ensure the ideas within the script were sequential and flowed well.
I believe that wikis are fantastic in a classroom setting because of the ability to share ideas, opinions and build prior knowledge. It is a perfect example utilising a constructivist approach, using Vygotsky's zone of proximal development theory in a 21st Century technology-based context.
