Wikis are a web based encyclepedia where experts and comments can be made to the page. I feel wikis can be very useful in education. I think wikis are great for gathering information and finding answers to questions in a rapid manner. However, the only aspect of wikis I find questionable is the validity of the content. I would never quote wikis in a scholarly paper or article. It is a great way to formulate ideas and creatively come up with topics of interest. I also believe it is a great way to formulate collaborative learning. Wikis can be used as a type of learning tool that can be very valuable in education. I found in reading about wikis that, "Instructors and graduate students can make changes as needed to documents, without having to go though channels to update course materials". I believe this would be a great tool to utilize and it could be faster and more convenient to use.
