Techtalk: Wikis and Collaborative Knowledge Construction
Caverly, David C.; Ward, Anne
Journal of Developmental Education, v32 n2 p36-37 Win 2008

We'll define wikis, discuss their use in college classrooms, explore benefits provided for collaborative knowledge construction, and explain five types of wikis with applications to developmental education (DE).
