Wiki
A wiki (sometimes spelled "Wiki") is a
server program that allows users to collaborate in forming the content of a Web
site. A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a participant:
you can create or edit the actual site contents without any special
technical knowledge or tools. All you need is a computer with an Internet
connection. A wiki is continuously “under revision.” It is a living
collaboration whose purpose is the sharing of the creative process and product
by many. One famous example is Wiki-pedia, an online encyclopedia with no
“authors” but millions of contributors and editors. The word "wiki"
comes from Hawaiian language, meaning "quick" or "fast."The teacher creates the content on the wiki
server (website). The students can view, edit, or comment on the content.
Teacher discretion: It can be designed so student
edits may only be made with teacher approval.
