Wikis for Learning and Collaboration

A wiki is a collaborative web site that collects and organizes content, created and revised by its users.

The most well-known example is Wikipedia. Wikis are a way to grow a knowledge base around a particular content area, be it best practices in a particular field or how to use a specific piece of hardware/software. A hallmark of Web 2.0 is that it improves as more people use it and this approach underlies wiki-based learning.

It is based on the idea that within any enterprise, a great deal of knowledge exists among the members. Sharing this knowledge and information can raise the organization's intelligence level, be it a university, an association, a corporation or club.
