“…Wikis are relatively new in the area of science education, but are increasingly being used in the workplace for document development. To date, reports of their use in education have mostly been restricted to teacher training (Shwartz & Katchevitch 2013), although there have been some pilot studies on their use in several UK and Irish institutions (Seery & Mc Donnell 2012).…”

Using technology when teaching or to support learning is becoming more common place. This perspective discusses the use of technology in our teaching by considering it from the viewpoint of what we need to support our curricula, investigating how technology can help. Nine approaches that have become popular in recent years are outlined with particular emphasis on curriculum delivery problems that they could address, and some recent literature examples of where they have been used. The integration of technology argued for is considered under the umbrella of cognitive load theory, and arising out of this, an approach of how we might progress the use of technology in our teaching is suggested.

“…Προσπάθειες υλοποίησης ΚΠ με τη χρήση wiki υλοποιούνται με αρκετά ικανοποιητικά αποτελέσματα (π.χ. Shwartz & Katchevitch, 2013), οπότε θεωρούμε ότι οι πρακτικές θα βελτιωθούν και η χρήση τους θα εξαπλωθεί.…”

Η χρήση wiki ως εργαλείο υλοποίησης Διαδικτυακής Κοινότητας Πρακτικής

2013

Στην εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζεται η αξιολόγηση μιας διαδικτυακής δομής ανταλλαγής με στόχο την ανάπτυξη της συνεργασίας των καθηγητών της πληροφορικής που διδάσκουν στο Γυμνάσιο. Είναι φυσικό οι άνθρωποι που διδάσκουν το ίδιο αντικείμενο, να αντιμετωπίζουν κοινά καθημερινά προβλήματα και προκλήσεις. Πολύ συχνά εντοπίζουν αξιόλογες λύσεις, καινοτομούν και δημιουργούν υψηλής ποιότητας υλικό. Στη βάση αυτή προτείνεται ο διαμοιρασμός αυτών των ιδεών, πρακτικών και προτάσεων ανάμεσα στους συναδέλφους που βιώνουν καθημερινά τις ίδιες αναγκαιότητες. Τέτοια δυνατότητα διαμοιρασμού δίνουν οι ΤΠΕ και πιο συγκεκριμένα κάποιες υπηρεσίες του web 2.0. Στην παρούσα μελέτη αξιολογείται η χρήση της υπηρεσίας wiki, όπως πραγματοποιήθηκε με ομάδα εκπαιδευτικών πληροφορικής που διδάσκουν στο Γυμνάσιο. Η δημιουργία και η λειτουργία του wiki υλοποιήθηκε από τους Σχολικούς Συμβούλους Πληροφορικής Βορείου και Νοτίου Αιγαίου.

“…Wikis are recognized as useful web-based technology for a wide variety of educational activities in chemistry. Recently published applications of wikis include: professional development of chemistry teachers; libraries of chemical, physical, and spectroscopic data; online chemistry texts; electronic laboratory notebooks and laboratory reporting; platforms for problem-based learning (PBL) activities; and several in-class projects for major and nonmajor, lecture and lab courses . Wikis are also embraced for integrating large collections of data by the professional community of chemists.…”

A Wiki-Based Group Project in an Inorganic Chemistry Foundation Course

A semester-long group project that utilizes wiki sites to enhance collaboration was developed for a foundation course in inorganic chemistry. Through structured assignments, student groups use metal-based or metalcombating therapeutic agents as a model for applying and understanding course concepts; they also gain proficiency with scientific-and web-based software. Each group displays their assignment products on a cohesive wiki, which serves as a study guide about the assigned therapeutic agent. Students periodically peer review other groups' wikis to learn how ongoing constructive feedback can improve a final product and to practice effective collaboration. Group presentations covering the wiki content and the therapeutic action of the drug are delivered at the end of the semester. This project could be utilized in other chemistry courses with appropriate topic selection.
