The document discusses using Wikis and Google Docs to facilitate collaborative and active learning outside of the classroom. It notes that Wikis allow for the creation of class-specific pages that provide assignments, resources and space for discussion. Google Docs enables students to work together on documents and presentations from any location, extending learning beyond school hours. An example is provided of an assignment where students used these tools to research topics from the 1920s, create notes, then presentations in small groups.
