16 Stefan Cordes, Freie Universität Berlin, CeDiS – Online Educa 2006, Pre-Conference Workshop 4 What is a wiki? 1. A Wiki can be thought of as a combination of a Web site and a Word document. At its simplest, it can be read just like any other web site, with no access privileges necessary, but its real power lies in the fact that groups can collaboratively work on the content of the site using nothing but a standard web browser. 2. Beyond this ease of editing, the second powerful element of a wiki is its ability to keep track of the history of a document as it is revised. 3. Since users come to one place to edit, the need to keep track of Word files and compile edits is eliminated. 4. Each time a person makes changes to a wiki page, that revision of the content becomes the current version, and an older version is stored. 5. Versions of the document can be compared side- by-side, and edits can be rolled back if necessary.

21 Stefan Cordes, Freie Universität Berlin, CeDiS – Online Educa 2006, Pre-Conference Workshop 4 To draw a conclusion …people know what blogs [and wikis] are, and what they are really seeking now is pedagogy, not training. It feels like, finally, this is no longer a technology as it is another way to connect and communicate. It's feeling like in some places, at least, blog thinking is becoming embedded. (Will Richardson, Turning Point 2006) or The user is the content! But is the user conscious of it? (Martin Ebner, TU Graz)
