Paper Abstract:
|
The emphasis on essential life skills such as learning to learn and knowledge creation in a knowledge economy mean
that the use of wikis in education is starting to be recognized as having significant potential. This paper presents the wiki
experience within a secondary school in a developing country, namely, Turkey. Based on semi-structured interviews with
both teachers and students, the author depicts the critical points that need to be taken into consideration so that an
effective collaborative online platform for both teachers and students to learn together can exist. |
