M05: Using Wikis in Courses

Welcome to Using Wikis in Courses. We'll be using a very "hands on" approach next week. After a brief introduction to how we've used wikis at Providence College--complete with student reactions and faculty reflections on wiki assignments in different courses, we'll look at samples of student work. Next, we'll brainstorm about ideas for how to use wikis to enhance YOUR courses and/or departmental tasks. The bulk of our time, however, will be spent creating, editing, and critiquing our wikis. This promises to be a lively and engaging session--we're looking forward to seeing you in Boston! Several samples of student wikis appear below:

Group Project | Fall 2008: Physician Perspectives on the McCain Health Reform Plan

Individual Project | Spring 2008: Health Care in the Czech Republic

Individual Project | Spring 2008: Physician Compensation

Individual Project | Spring 2008: Palliative Care
