Use a Wiki to create a collaborative study guide
Dale Basler May 28th, 2008
Final exams are next week so that means many of my students are anxious about reviewing the semester. In the past, I’ve given students a packet that outlined the learning objectives for the past semester. From the students’ perspective, this is quite the passive experience.
This year I’m trying something different. I created a rough outline that students can add to, update and modify online. It is essentially a ‘Wikipedia’ for my semester review.
I’m using the wiki that our school’s SharePoint service provides; it allows me to track what changes are being made and who’s making them. It also let’s me see which students are actually looking at the study guide.
However, you don’t need SharePoint to do this. Here are two other places you can get started with your own wiki.

Great idea!
Do you ever have any problems with inappropriate edits when you do wikis?
