Four research teams will be formed. A wiki community will be created by each team and members will join. The assignment is to create a wiki about wikis. The project will be shared with the class on Tuesday. The wiki created can be used as a teaching tool for student or teacher training. The topics covered can vary but some topics to include might be what it is, advantages, disadvantages, ways to use in the classroom, examples of the tool, etc. There should be references (at least 5 other than other than the book) used for your research.
