Implementation forms
With the help of wikis you can, amongst other things:
- Draft a mutual article
- Draft lecture scripts / summaries
- Set up link / literature lists with comments
- Set up academic glossaries / dynamic encyclopedias
- Post feedback / suggestions for improvement and discussions on academic texts
We have developed ten implementation scenarios for wikis for teaching purposes as a postcard set. The postcards and the detailed guidelines can be downloaded as a reader as a .pdf file.
