As a course wiki
- many different ways to use:
- free-form, with bonus points for contributions
- student-led recitation sessions documented on course wiki
- double blind peer review of homework or course projects
- Etc.
- Enables cross-courses discussions
- Used by instructors too
- Find out what students learn in other classes - less redundancy
- Uniformize notations
- Use examples from other classes to illustrate material
- Convenient dropbox for electronic homework collection
- Connects course to the real world
- Extra material posted on course wiki
For independent study
- Writing helps learning
- Examples
- student interested in linear algebra building wikipedia-like pages
- student studying for prelims building material summary pages and discussing problems.
For campus Groups and associations
- Informal setting
- real time update from anywhere by anyone
- Examples
- CNSIP research area page.
- A page "for and by" graduate students in mathematics
For discussions
- campus-wide or within a course
- very popular feature
- Examples
- Discussion on +/- grading system
- discussion on using online homework solutions
- discussion about rescheduling exam in ECE438
For peer networking and mentoring
- older students can comment on course wikis of classes taken earlier
- Students invite to contribute to "Peer Legacy" section of each course they have taken.
For students to promote themselves
- Students contributions can lead to job or research experience
- Example: collective page on slowly converging sum led to REU for two students.
- User profile can be used to promote as student's achievements
- Example 1: user profile used to highlight a student athletic achievement
- Example 2: user profile used to highlitht techniocal skills and accomplishments
