Wikis

A wiki is a collaborative tool in your course where you can create, view, edit, or comment on content.
Class members or group members can collaborate in a wiki, depending on the setup.
Instructors and other students can enter comments about your wiki, and your instructor can grade individual or group work.
Wikis are an effective way to contribute and to modify one or more pages of related material.
