Wikis

Wikis are used to create a collaborative space within the Course where all Students can view, contribute, and edit content. Wikis can also be used as a resource for Students to view information and content relevant to their Courses.

Instructors can create class wikis and private group wikis for students to participate in. In addition to contributing to a wiki, users can also comment on a wiki page, encouraging discussion.

Only group members can post to the group wiki. Posts can be viewed by the entire class or by the group alone, depending on the instructor's preference.
