Duffy and Bruns (2006) list several possible educational uses of wikis: Students can use a wiki to: ▫develop research projects, with the wiki serving as ongoing documentation of their work. ▫add summaries of their thoughts from the prescribed readings, building a collaborative annotated bibliography on a wiki. ▫view resources like syllabi and handouts, and students can edit and comment on these directly for all to see.

Duffy and Bruns (2006) list several possible educational uses of wikis: Teachers can use wikis as a knowledge base, enabling them to share reflections and thoughts regarding teaching practices, and allowing for versioning and documentation. to map concepts. They are useful for brainstorming, and editing a given wiki topic can produce a linked network of resources. a presentation tool in place of conventional software, and students are able to directly comment on and revise the presentation content.
