Paper Abstract:
|
The implementation of the Bologna Process has brought a significant change to the university educational system, requiring changes in the core of the degrees themselves as well as in the way in which students are taught, including the means for accessing information. One of its objectives is also to help to increase the compatibility between the different educational programs in the countries of the EU. But the most important changes require the implementation of systems to support the development of the collaborative techniques that students need to learn to be competitive, alongside with better interaction between them and the teachers. These requirements have opened up the way for new multimedia and collaborative tools that can be incorporated to the classroom to fulfill these requirements. Among all these tools, there is one in particular that arises above the rest because of its potential and that has also gained a lot of popularity in the last few years: the wiki platform. It constitutes the main focus of this article, as the tool is currently being researched and studied to improve its adaptability and positive impact in the students learning process. |
