Just because you build a wiki, doesn’t mean they will come. This has been my and other faculty members’ experiences in using wikis in the classroom. We all know the feeling. . . the excitement of seeing and then using a type of software that should be just perfect to engage students and to enable community-building. We work during our break time to incorporate this learning technology in our course only to find out that students aren’t that excited about it. I think one of the reasons for the lackluster student enthusiasm toward any type of new technology tool is that they need to learn it. I’m not saying that students are lazy. . . it’s just that the internal question, “what’s in it for me?” probably needs to be answered. Also, I think that students really have not had (a) that much experience with collaborative projects and/or (b) the collaborative projects they have been involved in left them with negative memories. One person maybe did all the work and there might not have been a justifiable reason for the collaboration in the first place. It’s difficult to design a great collaborative project. However, teachers are pretty tough people, not discouraged by setbacks, rather viewing them as learning experiences and the opportunity to do it better the next time. One of the strongest reasons for using a wiki is to enable collaboration. If any part of your class involves collaboration or a collaborative project, a wiki can be a valuable tool. But students won’t naturally use a wiki without some planning on your part. As I said, if you build it, they may not come. Wikis can increase educational productivity: 	Wikis support collaborative learning because Wikis can enable groups of students to work together to solve a problem, complete a project etc. 	Using Wikis effectively may help your students reach Bloom’s higher order skills, e.g., creating, evaluation etc. 	Wikis promote active learning where students can actively participate in educational activities like writing, discussing etc. 	Wikis can help you create interactive learning environments 	Wikis can help you promote open dialogue and encourage community building 	Wikis can help you prepare your students for the 21st century marketplace by developing digital literacy skills 	Wikis can improve students’ writing skills We believe that wiki technology offers a number of potential benefits for administrators, students and instructors, including the ability to share information online, to construct knowledge together, to facilitate collaboration and to enable social learning and peer feedback.
