6. Some Guidelines
Choose something at beginning of a semester or a unit where students can build up a base of knowledge to be used through the course or unit.
Break up the task of research and writing into parts and give everyone 1 or a few parts to work one.
Once first drafts are written, do peer reviews and have them comment/correct on each others work.

7. Part 2
After looking at comments, allow primary writers to edit their original content.
Do more peer review again and then encourage everyone to edit other's content (grade them on the number and quality of their edits)
Use the Wiki content in class regularly in other activities and encourage additions and updates.
"It is particularly appropriate to develop a ‘communication and comment culture’ right from the beginning."
