Wikiモジュール

Wikiは、協力して執筆された一群のウェブドキュメントに関する活動です。基本的に、Wikiページは、あなたのクラスで誰でも、ブラウザから直接作成することのできるウェブページです。Wikiページの作成には、HTMLに関する知識は不要です。Wikiは、1つのフロントページから開始されます。それぞれの作者は、まだ存在していないページへのリンクを存在するページに追加することで、新しいページを作成することができます。

Wikiは、その名称を「非常に速い」を意味するハワイの言葉「wiki wiki」から取っています。Wikiは、グループでコンテンツを作成することのできる、本当に速いツールです。また、Wikiはグループでドキュメントを作成する、ウェブ上で非常に人気のあるフォーマットです。Wikiには、中心となる編集者が存在しません。また、単独の人が最終的に編集をコントロールすることもありません。代わりに、コミュニティが独自のコンテンツを編集および作成します。ドキュメントにおいて、多くの人の作業から、大多数の見解が出現します。

MoodleのWikiは、Erfurt wikiと呼ばれる古いWikiシステムをベースに開発されています: http://erfurtwiki.sourceforge.net.

Moodleにおいて、共同作業のためのパワフルなツールとなり得ます。クラス全体でドキュメントを一緒に編集することができます。クラスでの作品を作成したり、それぞれの学生が独自のWikiを所有して、あなたおよび他のクラスメートと共に作業に取り組むこともできます。

Wikiのフロントページを構造化した目次にすると良いでしょう。基本的に、Wikiは、そのリンクにより整理されます。

Creative Wiki practices

The free-form, collaborative nature of wikis makes them easy to apply in creative ways. Any sort of group process can be facilitated using a wiki. For instance, a course may make use of many resources and have, as an aid to instructors, a wiki devoted to equipment located in several remote classrooms. The wiki's links to equipment and process pages can become useful in giving directions. The front page would then be organized differently than an individual teacher's page.

Group lecture notes

Usually, lecture notes are a solitary activity, but one person can easily miss an important point during a lecture through daydreaming or trying to understand a prior point. Students may also have difficulty deciding what information is important and what is elaboration or example. Creating a wiki for group lecture notes after a lecture gives students a chance to combine all their notes. Those that missed information can get it from their peers. The group can also decide what information is critical and give it proper emphasis. Group lecture notes could be done with the entire class, if it is small enough, or with small working groups. Groups can also compare notes for further discussion and refinement.

Group Project management

The most straightforward use of a wiki is as a tool for group collaboration for creating group projects. A teacher assigning a group project can give students a place to work by creating a wiki with the group mode enabled. This will give each group their own space to record research, to develop outlines and to create the final product. The teacher may create a submission date on which to turn off editing capabilities for students so that he or she can grade the final projects. Afterwards, the teacher may enable visible groups so that everyone can see each other's work.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a non-judgmental group creative process in which group members are encouraged to give voice to any ideas they personally consider relevant to the group exercise. In a face-to-face meeting, a brainstorming facilitator will usually stand in front of a big piece of paper and elicit ideas from the participants in the room. A teacher can create an online version of this process by setting up a wiki for the entire class or for smaller student groups and asking people to submit ideas around a brainstorming topic. People can add ideas as they occur and link to other pages for elaboration.

Contribute to other wikis

A teacher might assign his or her class the task of contributing to Wikipedia, Wikiversity, or to another wiki on the Web, on any class topic, perhaps by assigning students to groups (or making it a class project if the class is small enough and the topic broad enough) and challenging them to collaboratively create an article they would feel confident posting to a public-information space. Students will use the course wiki to create drafts of the article they will eventually publish to the community at the end of the semester.

This type of assignment has a number of benefits:

• It gives students additional motivation to do their best, since they know their work will be viewed and critiqued by the public instead of just by their instructor.
• It can act as a summarizing activity for an entire semester’s worth of material.
• Students will know their work will be used by other people, not just graded and filed away.
