WIKI

A blog is an online tool which generally has only one author. A Wiki however, is a collaborative learning tool in which multiple users can share information by editing, modifying, adding or removing information. Within the classroom setting, this online tool is ideal for group assignments as students can access and share information outside of school hours. Contributing to a Wiki is a simple process and learners will easily be able to access and edit the information. The use of a Wiki allows a collaborative effort and then publishes the result. Another benefit of utilising Wiki as part of assessment with the classroom is that the learning manager will be able to check the learners’ progress and in turn provide appropriate feedback when the situation warrants it.

Here is an example of a Wiki. This is not solely my work, it was collaboratively utilised as a source of information for this assessment task.
