Wiki literacy: sandbox knowledge for the net

Published: 10 September 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Wikis are not only a part of the internet but can be seen as a miniature and as an extended WWW. Therefore using a wiki helps training media literacy for the web on various levels and even goes beyond it. As a theoretical basis for this article we use the definition of media literacy by Baacke [1]. It is augmented by the aspect of media democracy.
