Wikis are a great for collaboration. In a previous life I set one up for the library with the express purpose of keeping all my web 2.0 links in one place. It was created using Wiki spaces. Over time I forgot about this wiki and did not maintain it. Through the course of this tutorial I rediscovered my wiki and aim to work on maintaining it as a guide for students with links to information they use on a day to day basis.
Everyone, particularly students know of the most popular wiki, wikipedia. Students use it because it is in a format that is easy to negotiate and laid in a simple structure. Other more academic websites could learn from wikipedia in relation to ease of access to information. I work with the students when using wikipedia to teach them to be critical of the information they use. This applies to all websites and not just wikipedia.
