Benefits+of+Using+this+Wikispace

Locating relevant websites, adding photos and information to a class Wiki website introduces the students to a powerful tool to share their learning and participate in collaborative learning. Wikis provide an ideal way for students to gather information and a useful tool for the teacher to add resources. Wikis enhance peer interaction, group work and facilitates sharing and distributing knowledge and expertise among a community of learners (Parker & Chow, 2007). Wikis can serve as a knowledge platform where students can display their knowledge to members of the community in a safe environment enhancing community identity, democratic participation and evolution over time (Parker & Chow, 2007).
