Hello Developers!

I am going to do an extra post this week for fun :-)

In the past I have spent quite a bit of time talking about wiki's here and here.

One resource that was not mentioned in those posts was a YouTube Video that is quite good. This YouTube link offers a strong video demonstration of what Wikis are and how Wikis can be used effectively for a group project.

Wiki's are a great tool to have students use for a group project. Each of the groups can create a Wiki to work together through. They can use the communication tools under the team project link in Blackboard to get the Wiki started and to work on the project as a whole as well. Below are links to three different Wiki locations for you to create your group Wiki.

It would be good to introduce this type of project in Unit 1 and then by the end of Unit 2, have them communicate with their group members and have one group member form the group Wiki. You will want to have them include the instructor in the group Wiki and e-mail the instructor with the group Wiki location and information.

Have fun with the new technology available to online education!
