Improve Wiki Participation PWbiki’s favorite ideas (from 11/07): Bentley College recommends creating a videocast of difficult lessons – place it on the wiki so students can reference it in their own time. See how Bentley College improved student participation using PBwiki . Place your homework assignments online – On a wiki your course schedule becomes a living document that can easily be updated update to reflect your classroom progress. Prof. Lisa Gordis encourages students to sign up for office hours on her wiki. She recommends including a 30Boxes calendar with deadlines relevant to students and tutors. Find out how Lisa solved the Barnard College scheduling problem for her college class .
