[Air-L] assigning wikipedia

[Jennie Hwang]

Hi Maria,

Yes. The wiki tool is an add-on. Cal Poly purchased the license from  
Learning Objects/Team LX: http://www.learningobjects.com/teams.jsp to  
have a wiki tool in Bb. This wiki is VERY BASIC, but has specific  
tracking system for the instructor to grade individual contribution  
as well as collective collaboration. One benefit of having a wiki  
embedded in Bb is that it's easier to maintain and manage students'  
work.

I've also used WetPaint (http://www.wetpaint.com/), which is free and  
with unlimited memory. The site looks very attractive since you can  
choose different templets to set up your wiki. The ads can be turned  
off if you email the WetPaint administrator, indicating that the wiki  
is used for education only.
