Teaching, Learning, and Other Uses for Wikis in Academia
11/15/2005
There are also features that I haven't addressed here that any
wiki worth its salt will have. Syndication via RSS, for instance, is a major
dimension of all social software, including wikis. As we look to the emerging
uses of social software for teaching and learning, one of our big challenges
will be to figure out how to leverage the affordances of syndication without
compromising security of sensitive information. But we're taking one thing at
a time. For now, by relaxing our idealized notion of what a wiki should be (and
the implied pedagogies therewith), and by listening hard to our collaborators,
we found a host of great uses for the tool that had before proved elusive to
implement.
