Objective: To demonstrate the use of wiki technology as an e-learning solution • CHALLENGE: • Budget/time constraints for training potential students • Classroom space shortage • CLASSIFIED network • NEED: • Online training accessible outside of a Learning Management System (LMS) • Easy to use solution with short learning curve • Engaging learning content • SOLUTION – a Wiki • Examples of three types of format • My Attempt

  8. ISD Considerations for CSCL - Clark/Mayer, chapter. 13 • “…general consensus is that collaborative [offered in a computer-supported environment] learning has excellent potential to improve individual learning. Slavin (2011)” pg. 281 • “Consider how to adapt lessons learned from both in-person collaboration as well as from online collaboration as you consider the what, when and why of new social media.” pg. 285 • “1. Ensure social interdependence…, 2.Assign ill-structured case problems to small heterogeneous groups…, 3.Use guided collaborative assignments… 4.Provide clear guidance...” pg. 303 • “A wiki would yield greater long-term benefits than a team project developed during the class.” pg. 304
