Collaborate On The Wiki

Student Pages

Students can have their own pages http://mat101.pbwiki.com/Mat1o1 and/or collaborate on another page http://mat101.pbwiki.com/pg13
Students collaborate and fine tune thier work. http://mat101.pbwiki.com/FindPage?RevisionsFor=pg13

Collaboration - Student

Students created their own pages and used the Wiki as a repository for their code. http://cmp217-s07.pbwiki.com/
Two students and the professor worked to create a finished project outline. http://cmp217-s07.pbwiki.com/FindPage?RevisionsFor=ProjectOutline
Students are free to decide how they want to collborate. Here, in discussing a standard, they decided to pick colors for their comments. http://cmp207.pbwiki.com/SoftEng.2008-03-22-06-06-58

Faculty Input

Both the instructor and librarian is able to comment and help students with their work. http://mat225sp08.pbwiki.com/julio.2008-04-03-14-36-54. The student can then edit out the comment but will always be available in the wiki history.
Faculty can also use the comment feature to interact virtually. http://mat225sp08.pbwiki.com/discussion.php?page=AShallowCloud

Extending the Classroom

As topics come up in class, a page with that Get Back To That Question is created and the student that correctly answers the question gets the credit. http://cmp207.pbwiki.com/FrontPage#GetBackToMeOnThat
One of those Get Back to That Questions is posted on the wiki http://cmp207.pbwiki.com/ExplodingMonitor and the students answer it via comments in this case, the answer wasn't complete. http://cmp207.pbwiki.com/discussion.php?page=ExplodingMonitor. (note: The issue with using comments is that the users of the Wiki are not notified that a comment was made. Hopefully, PBWiki will implement some form of comment notification.)

Enhancing Learning

Information literacy standards are infused into the course discussion. Here a student is asked to validate the Internet source http://cmp207.pbwiki.com/discussion.php?page=ExplodingMonitor.
In this instance, the librarian asks the student to correct the work http://mat225sp08.pbwiki.com/sshulman.2008-03-27-12-44-33 and the wiki easily allows the student to edit out the comments and make the corrections http://mat225sp08.pbwiki.com/sshulman.2008-03-27-15-03-47.
The comment feature is used to praise the student and point out a typographical error. http://mat225sp08.pbwiki.com/discussion.php?page=AShallowCloud
Both instructors can lend their expertise to the students work. http://mat225sp08.pbwiki.com/badneighbor.2008-03-19-20-14-20
The librarian is able to encourage the student and offer help asychronously. http://mat225sp08.pbwiki.com/md427.2008-03-19-19-33-36
