Potential security issues with what students post
The larger a wiki becomes, the more difficult it is to monitor
Potentially inconsistent quality control on pages and information
Difficulty with multiple students working on the same page at the same time

Sample wiki rubric: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=ShowRubric&module=Rubistar&rubric_id=1473272&
Student worksheet – information provided on:

NOTE: While the wiki tracks all entries, the worksheet makes it easier to identify and track student work.
