Middlesex University Learning and Teaching Conference 2011: e-Assessment: Untangling the (k)nots - 28th June, 2011
Staff Development Workshop: Wikis – Time: 1:00pm – 1:30pm – Location: Room C118
Facilitators: John Koushappas and Betty Sinyinza
A wiki is a powerful online collaboration tool which can facilitate group work and team building.
Used for group assignments, it can facilitate the development of a wide range of social and professional skills in students, improving their employability.
Wiki usage is gathering pace as an online collaborative tool in education because of its unique ability to always display the latest version of the material being written by a team of authors.
It is a tool which is very simple to learn and to use.
The workshop will quickly cover how wikis can be used in e-Assessment scenarios, and participants will get hands-on experience of using a wiki to develop a page using the built-in page editor.
The workshop will be a fast, fun taster of what can be achieved by a team. Come and join us.
