A wiki can be public or private and changes made by users are tracked so that anyone can see who made what changes when. A wiki can be as simple as one webpage, or it can be a complex structure of multiple webpages and weblinks. Wikis can be frequently used for collaborative projects. What can you do with a wiki? Improve students writing skills Enable students to learn outside of school hours. Educators can track student participation and achievement.
