Welcome to the Wiki Workshop

Wikis are great tools for collaboration and they can be used as course web sites, too. We'll be using WetPaint Wiki for our workshop. I like it because it's free and they'll remove the ads for educational wikis.

I recently used a wiki to capture ideas and suggestions during a workshop on best practices for online and blended learning. The best thing about it was that the content was available online instantly.

Notice the resources on the right side of the screen? Once again, I've provided a copy of the handout we'll be using during the workshop today and a link to a 3 question survey about the workshop that I hope you'll complete. There are some additional wiki resources, too. I highly recommend the site with suggestions for assessing wiki assignments.
