How to use a Wiki in education: 'Wiki based effective constructive learning'

Published:21 August 2006Publication History

ABSTRACT

Learning effectiveness depends on a large range of parameters. Learners" activity has an important impact on long-term learning and comprehension of difficult concepts [1]. Collaboration is also an important parameter for learning efficiency. Collaboration does not work per se [2]; an appropriate Script is a capital factor for succeeding. We will describe our engagement in scripting advises based on the use of a Wiki. The creation of a hypertext is an integrative part of our collaborative script. A Wiki is a powerful tool for constructivist learning environments because it facilitates collaboration. The workshop aims to describe approaches to improve collaborative learning. We will give advice how to conduct a learning session with a Wiki and an appropriate script.
