A Successful Pedagogical Experiment: Using Wikis in Academic Lectures Gabriela GROSSECK Senior lecturer, Ph.D. West University of Timisoara April eLSE07 Bucharest

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest What is a wiki? Wiki =quick (in Hawaiian) A website in which content can be created and edited by a community of users (often without need for special privileges) Software that allows people with no knowledge of HTML or other programming languages to create and/or edit a website

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest The largest wiki: WiKIPEDIA Best example is Wikipedia Wikipedia is: –A free encyclopedia –Multilingual –Web-based –Written collaboratively by volunteers Most articles can be changed by anyone Wikipedia has more than 3 million articles

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Wiki technology Wiki ≠ Wikipedia Enables people to work collaboratively You can learn to use a wiki in min. Many different programs to choose from There are several free sources for wikis (~200)

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Why wiki? / Why not wiki? Easy to use –Web-based –Simple software commands Anyone can make changes Flexible and easy to add content to Harness collective intelligence! Can help develop a culture of sharing and working together (cf. open source) The success of the Wikipedia may not necessarily be replicated elsewhere. Vandalism and spam Disorganized Too open/ not enough control of content There may be copyright and other legal issues regarding collaborative content There is not (yet) a standard lightweight Wiki markup language

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Ways to use Wiki in education Students can use a wiki to develop research projects. Students can add summaries of their thoughts from the prescribed readings. A wiki can be used for publishing course resources like syllabi and handouts. Teachers can use wikis as a knowledge base. Wikis can be used to map concepts (brainstorming, linked network of resources). A wiki can be used as a presentation tool in place of conventional software. Wikis are tools for group authoring. Victoria A. Davis, 2006

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Why I wanted to use a wiki Students experience a technology they probably hadn’t encountered before Students learn about collaborative “sense- making” Huge potential for building community

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Using Wikis to Build Learning Communities

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Why I use Wikispaces.com?

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest OraDeInfo.Wikispaces.com

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest

Why follow the “wiki way”? achieving knowledge in efficient use of the Internet developing relational and communication competences in virtual space forming of specific attitudes regarding the Web 2.0 technologies (wiki, blog, RSS, social bookmarking etc.) developing/improving digital competences for individuals and groups the students can exercise their most important competence - the competence of creating content

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Why follow the “wikispaces way”? organizing, cooperating and interpersonal relation competences developing formative and informative valences for the students, critical thinking and creativity involving the students in taking decisions participating learning and learning by discovering in on-line environment building a learning community!

Gabriela Grosseck, April 2007 eLSE07 Bucharest Lessons learned Don’t be afraid to experiment! Be flexible! Get feedback from users! Don’t get frustrated! Learn how to use this powerful content management!!
