Abstract

As part of a larger research study (see Peters & Slotta, 2010), we designed a collaborative wiki-based activity that engaged secondary students in co-creating a community knowledge base to serve as a resource for a subsequent inquiry activity. Over eight weeks, 112 students from four sections of a high school biology course contributed to a common wiki repository about Canadian biodiversity. A wiki provided the ideal functionality for this activity as it enabled students to easily access and edit each other's contributions, reorganize the repository, and link pages to establish connections between related themes or ideas.
