What Is A Wiki?

 

According to the best known wiki, Wikipedia, a wiki is, "a type of website that allows users to easily add, remove, or otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration." Wikis are public (or semi-public) collaboration spaces, and therefore will work for this class as a virtual meeting place for class activities and collaborations. For a deeper understanding of wikis, please read Wikipedia's article on wikis:
