Learn how to implement wiki tools in the classroom.
Wiki tools aren’t just for helping organizations and professional teams—they can be
used in classrooms.
Wikis can help organize student groups, distribute information in a browsable format,
and support new types of projects that aren’t easily managed with traditional, paper-
based tools.
Classroom Wiki Blueprint
You can set up wikis based on whether you want to stop students from editing
specific pages such as the syllabus page, or whether you trust your students not to
edit those pages.
If you want to stop students from editing specific pages, create two wikis for every
class, one where students can just read content and post moderated comments, and
another where students can write content and post unmoderated comments.
If you trust students not to edit specific pages, create a single wiki where students can
read and write content and post comments. On pages that you don’t want them to
edit, add a comment saying that students should not edit the page.
In both wiki setups, create a project wiki when you have a project that you’d like
students from multiple classes to work on.
