Learning Technologies for the Classroom
• Wikis allow documents to be written collaboratively
• Usually readers of the site can edit the content making
changes to what has previously been written by other
readers.
• You can see a history of changes made to the content
and revert back to earlier versions if this is needed, for
example, to remove mistakes.
• Through settings you can allow any reader to edit content or
only registered users. You can even hide the site so that it
can only be seen by them as well.
