Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit web page content using any web browser. It was developed in 1993 by Ward Cunningham as a composition system. Wikis are fully editable websites that are easily accessible and allow contributors to feel a sense of responsibility and ownership. The main principles of wiki are that they are open, incremental, organic, mundane, universal, observable, and unified and tolerant. Wikis have applications for simple office software, project management, and point-of-sale systems.
Moodle Accessibility Techshare 2007
1) The document discusses efforts to improve the accessibility of Moodle, an open-source e-learning platform, including expert evaluation and student testing that identified issues such as missing alt text and non-semantic HTML.
2) Accessibility improvements have been made in subsequent Moodle releases through changes like standardizing forms and adding missing text labels, but challenges remain such as retrofitting the large codebase and ensuring accessibility of user-generated content.
3) Ongoing work involves continued code updates, removing deprecated tags and layout tables, improving headings and lists, and addressing other outstanding issues.

Wiki Workshop
A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively edit its content and structure asynchronously. Wikis can range from a single webpage to a complex network of interconnected pages. They are commonly used for collaborative projects. Educators have found wikis useful for activities like brainstorming, collaborative writing, and group projects. Wikis provide functionality like page creation, linking, change tracking, and user account management that facilitate collaborative work. Effective use of wikis may require instructional support and addressing initial usability challenges.

Wikis
Wikis allow users to collaboratively edit and discuss web page content online without needing to meet in person. They are live web pages that can include multimedia and be viewed and edited by anyone with a web browser. Wikis enable convenient collaboration on group projects from any internet-connected location. However, their public and editable nature could allow misinformation without authorization or moderation controls. They are well-suited for learning styles involving reading and writing.

Users can add text, images, videos, and sounds to a wiki using only a web browser and internet connection. Wikis are useful for student group projects as they allow accessing and editing work from anywhere with an internet connection. However, wikis are publicly viewable, so information could be falsified or inappropriate content added without authorization or moderation controls.

Wikis allow users to collaboratively edit web page content from any internet-connected location without needing to meet in-person. They display text, images, videos, and sounds that anyone can view and modify using a web browser. While wikis enable convenient collaboration, their public and editable nature can allow misinformation to be added without authorization, so access should be restricted to authorized group members and content should be reviewed and monitored. Wikis are well-suited for learning styles involving reading and writing as their text-based format allows information to be absorbed and re-written repeatedly.

Learn about Moodle
Moodle is an open-source learning management system (LMS) that provides educators with a flexible online environment for creating course content and engaging students. It was created in 2002 by Martin Dougiamas and is developed and supported by a global community. Moodle takes a social constructivist approach to learning by emphasizing collaboration and positioning learners as teachers. It is less rigid than other LMSs by not just focusing on delivering content to students. Moodle's open-source model means it does not rely on a single vendor for development and support.
