What is wiki ? “ Una wiki est un sitio web cuyas páginas web pueden ser editadas por múltiples voluntarios a través del navegador web. Los usuarios pueden crear, modificar o borrar un mismo texto que comparten. Los textos o «páginas wiki» tienen títulos únicos. Si se escribe el título de una «página wiki» en algún lugar del wiki, esta palabra se convierte en un «enlace web» a la página web."

Wiki Design Principles Simple (easy to use- cut and paste- write directly) Open and Organic (structure and text open to editing and emergence) Emergent – best and beyond Expose patterns and link the incomplete Observable (activity visible : who, what, when)

Open and Organic (structure and text open to editing and emergence)

Emergent – best and beyond

Expose patterns and link the incomplete

Observable (activity visible : who, what, when)

Wiki Design Principles Convergent – one common page can exist, less duplication, versions etc. (Google docs) TRUST – the most important – trust the people, trust the process – most people have good intentions. Power distributed – collective intelligence (Suroweiki) Fun – you can write but you do not HAVE to (differs in academia)

Why Wiki Digital ENV can be : difficult to use highly structured respond to a narrow set of (temporary) needs Often = status quoi (little or no change-innovation)

Digital ENV can be :

highly structured

What to wiki ? Knowledge production : the course itself Wikis enact knowledge building with and for others. The focus is on the community itself rather than on the individual learner.The implications of communal constructivism for the university context are of particular import. In the words of Holmes et al (2001), "What we argue for is a Communal constructivism where students and teachers are not simply engaged in developing their own information but actively involved in creating knowledge that will benefit other students . In this model students will not simply pass through a course like water through a sieve but instead leave their own imprint in the development of the course, their school or university, and ideally the discipline." ( Fountain. R 2005)
