The question being asked is, "How can wikis be best used in your context?"
The subject area that i would use a wiki is in hospitality. The task for the students would be to design a two course menu and cook for their peers. They are told that they have to use ingredients that they have at home. Groups are formed into four students each and after they have designed the menu and created their ingredients list they can use a wiki. By using a wiki to communicate with each other the students can provide a list of what they can bring and ingredients that might have been forgotten about. This is an easy tool to use as a hand written list of ingredients are easily lost or misplaced.
By using a wiki it would help with completeing this task and assisting with constructivism. Another benefit is the collaboration of students which is very much needed in hospitality in being able to work with other people.
I also find the wikki helpful (especially in FAHE) due to my occasionally limited attention span and I can view where I should be at would you consider a moodle to be a form of wiki??

To answer your question Ray, is moodle a form of wiki? I would answer yes as you can add posting to comments made by other people and also the material already on moodle.
ReplyDeleteSo thank you for your comment as I did not look at Moodle that way but will do so now.
