Wiki Page and Blogs

Wiki Page and Blogs

• Wiki Page Setup Quick Guide
  Wiki Tool in Blackboard is a page or collection of Web pages that can be collaboratively edited by the instructor and by the students. It allows users to contribute or modify content, upload images, documents, and users may export the wiki pages into a zip file. A log of all changes is kept, so it is easy to keep track of a given page's editorial history, and of students' editing activity.
• Here are some ideas for when you can use Wiki tool in a Blackboard course.
  - Student presentation area - particularly presentations that rely on images and visuals
  - Case studies
  - Project sharing / peer review area

• Blogs
  Students can share their ideas or what they learned in the Blog tool. It needs a configuration first. The procedure of setting up Blogs page is about the same as setting up Wiki page.
