Wikis are easy to learn (much easier then html), Wikipedia is no exception (73% - Raitman, 2005). Attract students: writing papers is not fun. Editing a wiki can be fun! Active and team learning paradigms.

Effect on teachers Follow the detailed progress of every student. Best collaborative project solution. Free! Access students work anytime, anywhere.
