Learning with WikisRenée Broda, Keltie Coad, Karen Koller
What is a Wiki?• A wiki is an editable webpage on which you may:
– Embed links and videos– Have text and pictures
• We use http://www.wikispaces.com/
Why did we begin this?
• Our individual wikis:– As classroom support– As a way to organize our materials and favourite websites
• Project:– Student lack of facility with computers– Educational institutions moving toward on-line delivery and
technology rich classroom environments– Teaching and Learning Centre at Bow Valley College offered an
upgrade for collaborative learning– Mirrors corporate culture

Classroom Projects
Classroom Projects
• “The Wiki Project”– A joint-class project– Learners create content and supplement their pages with
Web links, images and videos. – Learners use the wiki page as a basis for an oral
presentation on the topic and also showcase their work to the ESL College community at a trade show event at the end of the semester.
– Students respond to presentations and wiki pages by posting comments on each page
• Logistics• Plagiarism
