Week 6 Project task 4 A Wiki?

Now I am constantly thinking about my project. I am in two minds whether I want a class wiki or a class website or even a class blog. I decided to study wikis this week.
It is already commonplace, that forms of collaborative learning have the high potential to improve learner activation as well as motivation and to make a positive impact on learning outcomes.
As a solution a learning environment was considered, in which students work in teams on specific tasks over a given period of time, producing a common artifact which is reviewed by fellow students. By designing and developing the learning environment the instructional design has to meet following challenges:
1. How can learner' activity be generated?
2. How can students' motivation be increased?
3. How can valuable feedback be implemented?
4. How can learning transfer be supported?
As a cheap and easy to handle collaboration platform a wiki solution was favored.
Usage of Wiki Technology
Computer-supported collaborative learning can be supported by a wiki. With characteristics like free-availability, easy usability, and web-based accessibility it is an affordable and easy to handle tool for on-line collaboration, which requires less support and little instruction on how to use it. With a wiki students can create shared content and results of group work can be easily made available to others like instructors or other student groups.
Wiki enables educators to create interactive on-line course content for students. You can insert dynamic content like videos, presentations, reports and graphs to make regular subjects more interesting.
Wikis help Teachers to create virtual classrooms for their students to stay connected beyond classroom and harness the power of an extended classroom.
It's possible to maintain on-line schedules and calendars for students to track project / assignment deadlines.
It's good to encourage parent's participation in classroom activities and keep them updated on their children's performance.
Wikis can be a showcase of the positive happenings in a classroom or school in your website.
What is the difference between a wiki and a blog?
A blog, or web log, shares writing and multimedia content in the form of “posts” (starting point entries) and “comments” (responses to the posts). While commenting, and even posting, are open to the members of the blog or the general public, no one is able to change a comment or post made by another. The usual format is post-comment-comment-comment, and so on. For this reason, blogs are often the vehicle of choice to express individual opinions.
A wiki has a far more open structure and allows others to change what one person has written.
So to sum up, I see that wiki is very useful, modern technological tool that meets my educational goals at 100%, though I still have some fear about my technical skills.
