Wiki Uses

  • Prof has students write their own exam questions

    "Since Kane started using the workspace a year ago, he says students have submitted a whopping 600 questions overall; he estimates that he's pulled 80 to 90 percent of his exam questions from the wiki. Students, he reports, see the workspace as a good place to home in on important facts, so they study material on the wiki religiously, essentially working together to improve their collective knowledge. Interestingly, from the get-go, Kane tells students that there's no guarantee the answers on the site are correct. Instead, he insists that they must be "responsible consumers of the tool" and "fix answers they find to be wrong." 

  • RipMix Learners

    The RipMixLearners project at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. It is a place where students create educational resources for their peers at UWC and others.
