Useful framework for designing wiki instruction

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

In doing research for a faculty project, I came across a useful tool for thinking through wiki assignments.

Wiki Writing: Collaborative Learning in the College Classroom, a collection of essays about designing wiki writing assignment includes a chapter on using wikis to build learning communities. This chapter is useful because of the “snakes-and-ladders” framework the authors (from Stanford)  have crafted for helping wiki developers think through the steps of how to implement a successful wiki project.
