What is a WIKI?
A WIKI is essentially SAAS -software as a service.
WIKI software allows users to create and edit content on a web page using any web browser.

SECURITY
Set up your WIKI security settings so that only invited users may view the WIKI. This protects student privacy.
Set pages so that students may only edit in the manner you wish. The BASIC membership only allows comprehensive settings for the entire WIKI, so choose “read only” in this case.
Teach your students your expectations for commenting on the WIKI.
Use email notifications to monitor student comments. Delete those that are inappropriate.
