Collaborative work with wikis: Analysis of some innovative educational centers

Published:18 October 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

The wiki tool1, incorporated in the Moodle platform, is able to provide us with a learning environment which is strongly linked to social-construction approaches, facilitating the development of collaborative work projects on-line. Wikis are tools where the exchange of ideas and the collaborative workflow are important factors for development with university students.; This case study analyses and evaluates essential aspects for the successful deployment of a wiki in a higher education proposal.

The proposal of work by projects, has been oriented to students of the first university course, in order to analyze the characteristics of the educational centers of the 21st century, within a collaborative working environment through the use of the Wiki tool.

Our results suggest that a wiki can promote effective collaborative learning, confidence in self-training and peer evaluation, facilitating rapid feedback, intuitive navigation and task performance.
