WIKI WIKI – freely expandable collection of interlinked webpages, a hypertext system for storing and modifying information – a database, where each page is easily edited by any user with a forms-capable web browser client. Leuf and Cunningham (2001) cited in Krajka (2007)
WIKI WIKI – intensely collaborative, loosely structured set of pages, linked in multiple ways to each other and to Internet resources and an open-editing system in which anyone can edit any page. WIKI – a tool classified as second generation online collaborative environment. Godwin-Jones (2003) cited in Krajka (2007)
WIKI The rationale for WIKI use WIKIs may exhibit some of the elements that are considered essential to the formation of a successful community of practice – a virtual presence, a variety of interactions, easy participation, valuable content, connections to a broader subject field etc. Schwartz (2004)cited in Krajka (2007) WIKIs allow users to create the learning space from within, rather than using a certain structure imposed from above, which reflects the assumptions of the constructivist teaching philosophy. Lamb (2004) cited in Krajka (2007)
