Outcome
• Students had never heard of WIKI Spaces.• They complained about having to learn new
technology.• They were frustrated, even with tech support.• The WIKI did not necessarily reflect perceived
student time and work.
Recommendations
• Awareness of student skills– Not all students are tech savvy
• Class use of WIKI Spaces– Developing a space in class may facilitate F2F
instruction & role model use for students
• Alternate forms of WIKI Spaces– Zoho.com/projects– Wikispaces.com
