7.2.4 Reflect on collaborative writing in a wiki
A Wiki is an application software designed to help people involved in a common task to achieve their goals. So it is a collaborative software.
The use of collaborative software in the learning space creates a collaborative working environment which enable learners to share views and ideas collectively. One of the hazard of the traditional teaching is the fact that it does not accommodate group work. The teacher just lecture, give notes, and that is all.
The process of collaborating on a wiki can be improved when the members work at real time at least once in a while for effectiveness. Other wise its a perfect collaborative tool for learners.
The most important learning gained from this design group is intentional group process done collaboratively with a broad concept that overlap considerably with computer supported cooperative work.
Managing the warm ware
It is not news that were there is some thing new people start to compare, criticize, supplement and giving negative/positive comments. So it is important to create awareness of the up coming development, organize different workshops and seminars involve learners, teacher and stakeholders. This can help the entire school and the community to back the new development since the are now a ware of its impotence. It can also be easy for the school to ask some assistance from the community, after knowing the benefits from the projects.
As a result of what i have acquired from this lesson, i wish to change some of my approaches of teaching . I have to involve learners participate more in what ever am teaching. I have to create small groups for their collaboration, I have to introduce some technology aided devices for the learners to refer to. For the start i thing that can help them to start fitting in this technology dominated world.

I agree that wikis are very good for sharing ideas.
ReplyDeleteI agree that wikis are very good for sharing ideas.
ReplyDeleteI also do but they also have their challenges!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Working together in real time on a wiki can greatly improve the quality of work presented.
ReplyDeleteA wiki is not really a realtime tool, but there is nothing to stop the groups from discussing real time in the Group chat area or on WhatsApp groups. That kind of regulation must come from within the group. The wiki is for publishing the conclusions of other discussions in this lesson. Perhaps you are also indirectly commenting on the ineffectiveness of the discussion group and also the relative lack of initiative in the groups in terms of organizing discussions to suit their needs. This is intentionally all part of the learning curve of this course.
