What's a wiki?

 

Pioneered by Ward Cunningham, and named after the Hawaiian word for ‘quick’, a wiki is a website that makes it easy for anyone to contribute pages, and link them together.

 

Wikis are a type of social software that make it easy to communicate online. As simple to edit as it is to read, the wiki makes for the perfect online collaboration tool.

 

Why use a Wiki?

 

•    Most wikis are available at little or no cost

•    Wikis are easy to edit and easy to maintain

•    Many wikis allow the creator to control who has access to view and/or edit the content
