“…According to the author, the use of the wiki was entirely positive as a teaching tool. Heafner and Friedman (2009) suggest that wikis used in secondary social studies facilitated a pedagogical shift from traditional teacher-centered instruction to student-oriented and constructivist learning. Likewise, Kasemvilas and Olfman (2009) pointed out that that MediaWiki could better facilitate the collaborative writing process with some extensions that support discussion and project management.…”

Wikis provide teachers with potentially significant opportunities for creating socially engaged tasks that require active student participation and collaboration. Wikis allow students to work together to develop content on the web, giving them a sense of how writing can be carried out collaboratively. Collaborative writing offer opportunities not only to practice literature review, academic reading and writing, but also to stimulate reflection, knowledge sharing, and critical thinking. However, despite the potential capabilities of wikis, true collaborative writing does not work by itself as the research literature clearly reveals. To foster collaborative writing, participation, and active involvement in wiki development, there is a need for a systematic approach to the construction of wikis. The aim of this paper is to allow students to develop wiki applications using a collaborative writing development approach based on rapid prototyping. The paper also reports on the evaluation of the approach by means of qualitative data collection and analysis methods. Finally, the implications of the approach for collaborative writing are critically discussed according to a set of requirements associated with software development considerations and pedagogical issues.

“…Finally, another potential drawback of wikis is that they allow a user to change the content of a Website. This raises questions of copyright, because students may use others' work as their own (Heafner & Friedman, 2009). …”

Day by day, individuals are becoming more and more digital citizens with the spread of the Internet and digital communication devices. However, this gives rise to discussions about problems related with ethics, privacy and security, health, communication, and etc.

“…They conclude that 2.0 technologies must be integrated more fully into university curricula as a whole and see RSS as a means of developing a connection between these various other technologies (Lee, 2008). Heafner and Friedman (2008) offer an example from secondary education of how a student-created wiki utilized principles of constructivism in a social studies course. Students who participated in the section of the course involving wikis showed markedly better recall than those in a concurrently taught section using more traditional methods such as quizzes and test preparation .…”
