Pedagogical content. When used properly, wikis^(tool) are powerful tools that enable sharing of information and knowledge. This course explores how they can be used in the classroom to improve teaching and learning and enable collaboration^(ta) on group work^(ta) projects. It also covers important considerations such as e-safety^(topic) and e-skills^(topic) as well as ways to engage in sharing practice^(topic).

Knowledge and understanding At the completion of this course, students should be able to: * recognise how a wiki can be used to encourage learners to contribute to a class project, * understand how to support learners in a wiki-based activity by providing ground rules and making all learners feel able to add to the wiki. Cognitive skills At the completion of this course, students should be able to: * critically assess the use of wikis as a tool for primary learners to contribute to a shared activity, * discuss the issues around codes of conduct for wiki contributions.
