Description

Notes and references

notes

If you have lecture notes,
presentation slides, or external
reference materials, attach these
or link to them in wiki pages or
blog posts. If you attach media,
such as a lecture recording,
students can subscribe to these
in iTunes.
If you have two wikis, put this in
the wiki that students can’t edit.

Yearbook

yearbook

If you want students to get
to know each other, create
a yearbook page and link to
individual bio pages for each
student.
If you have two wikis, put this in
the wiki that students can edit.

Bio

yearbook

If you have a yearbook page,
each student creates his or
her own bio page describing
themself.
If you have two wikis, put this in
the wiki that students can edit.

Group sign-up

group

When you have team-based
assignments, create a page for
team sign up. Students can add
their names to specific teams.
If you have two wikis, put this in
the wiki that students can edit.

Assignment turn-in

assignment

If you want students to turn
in assignments electronically,
create a page to store them.
Similarly, students can turn in
short assignments by adding
comments instead of editing
page content.
If you have two wikis, put this in
the wiki that students can edit.

Project wikis should contain purely content pages, except for the homepage, which
introduces the project. By having projects in separate wikis, you can let people outside
of the current class view and add content.
