WEEK 7 Thing #17

Played around with Educational Sandbox wiki. This uses Wetpaint. It's so easy to edit, add photo and video from other sites or harddisk. You can also insert a table.

Wiki can be applied to MeL. Suppose students are given an assignment to research into a particular topic each. At the end, they post the document into Digital Dropbox. We can change it to a wiki assignment. Each student will post an article in wiki, together with relevant pictures and videos. Other students can update, edit or add on to the article. Marks can be awarded for the research work as well as contributions to others' articles.

This is definitely easier to mark than to open each file in MeL. Also, the lecturer can give his 2-cents worth, and include some comments.
