Learning Objectives	At the completion of this course, students should be able to: * incorporate the use of a wiki with learners in their school and subject contexts as appropriate, * reflect on, and discuss, the impact of the use of a wiki on learning. Practical skills At the completion of this course, students should be able to: * edit a wiki page, * select a wiki tool appropriate for intended use, * set up a wiki, * incorporate text and other media on a wiki page, * manage users (authors, reviewers etc) of a wiki. Knowledge and understanding At the completion of this course, students should be able to demonstrate: * that they know what a wiki is, * that they know what wikis may be used for in education, * an understanding of the issues involved in using wikis in the classroom. Cognitive skills At the completion of this course, students should be able to: * critically review the use of wikis in educational contexts and share these reviews with others, * discuss different ways in which wikis might be used in learning contexts in schools. Students will either use a wiki on your school’s learning platform or, if this is not available to them, we will explain how to sign up to use one of the free online wiki services.
