Used appropriately, ‘wikiing’ is a legitimate educational genre
The wiki helped me gauge my own progress

Comments: wikis
“I could use it very easily, it’s too flexible, as u find information, u just get excited about putting it up ... And this makes u all the time think about your course and relevant study.”
“It was good to be able to explore the information thoroughly.”

Comments: wikis
“We could edit and add in our own time, without arbitrary constraints.”
“Overall it was a good experience, I just felt like we didn’t use it to the fullest.”
“Most people only used the wiki when it came time to submit for assessment.”

Comments: wikis
“I was skeptical at first to begin with but actually enjoyed it and have met up with ... others from the class just to catch up and chat about class, and to do ‘group study’ for the exam.”
“I have avoided that site as it has caused too much stress.”
