Paper Abstract:
|
Wikis are potentially considered as tools that foster collaborative learning and writing. Yet, there still are critical elements that need to be addressed to promote genuine collaborative writing, such as student resistance against wikis, limited student contribution to collaborative writing with wiki, or that students are reluctant to use wikis for online course work. Using MediaWiki as a platform, this work reports on the evaluation of students collaborative writing activities by means of survey questionnaires with open-ended questions, and data logs that are automatically generated by wikis as students perform collaborative writing projects. The results are critically discussed and some recommendations are suggested for collaborative writing with wikis in teacher education. |
