Wiki
Posted by Amanda Chalmers on Sunday, May 13, 2012
Using the allocated wiki space for our authentic task resource presentation has been filled with the same learning process as Yola presented, lots of trial and error. For the group interaction it has been great, to be able to all access the site and jointly work together to complete the task has been a great experience. I have really enjoyed that you can all be involved in your own time to add to the progress. The downside like any technology is that it is not always reliable and problems do occur. Our group has experienced issues with deleted items, unintended writing format changes and delays in wiki participation but these issues have all been addressed with the help of regular study sessions via face to face, skype, texts or phone calls between our group members. I have never used a wiki space before and think it is a fantastic tool for classroom group work. The EDN113 discussion forum has been really helpful with minor queries that our group could not resolve on its own as has the EDN113 skype group chat sessions. Being a student participating in an authentic learning task EDN113 and then designing an authentic learning task for others has been a real concrete journey of grasping the concept of authentic learning.
