First things first - what is a wiki?

 

• A wiki is an online document (a webpage) that can be edited right inside the web browser.  That means that these webpages are shared by everyone on the team or class. 
• You can add any kind of information you want - even pictures

• Wikis are free, online writing spaces. Wikis use simple formatting rules, so you don't need to understand HTML or an HTML authoring tools, such as Frontpage or Dreamweaver to contribute.
• Wikis are designed as a writing space. Wikis are not meant to be a final presentation space or a course management system (Like Moodle). Wikis make it possible for writers to continually build upon, revise, and edit a piece of writing or contribute to a topic.
