Posted on 15 Oct 2012 with 0 comments

Data collection included online observations of the development of the wiki pages, students’ reflections periodically posted in WebCT, final reflections, e-mail correspondence, interview transcripts, and researcher notes. Students’ reflections indicate that contributing to the class wiki led to a deeper processing of the course content and was personally beneficial to the students in spite of persistent technology challenges.
