This study examined emergency service student use of wiki in an assignment to develop guidelines for preparing crisis communication plans in an online class. As a form of course evaluation, students were asked to respond to five questions about their experience in using wiki. Conclusions were drawn about the practicality of using wiki in teaching online. Students affirmed that collaboration leads to learning and knowledge acquisition. By engaging in collaboration, learners observe and improve upon weaknesses or gaps in learning. Students learn from each other by examining and improving the work of others. Students also viewed that using wikis to develop documents is a valuable skill to take into the workplace. A number of barriers exist that make using wiki in online teaching more challenging. It is more difficult to monitor and correct student actions online than in a face-to-face classroom. Most students hesitate to edit and change other student writing and so incentives need to be used to get students to edit each other’s work. Students should receive an orientation where they learn the purpose and benefits of wikis and receive instruction on how to use wikis. The study confirms much of the research on the topic of using wikis as a learning strategy. Also, the study shows that process is as important to learning as is outcome. Learning to use wiki is as important as producing a final document.

使用众包的Wiki教授在线本科课程

这项研究检查了紧急服务学生对Wiki的使用情况，以制定在线课堂上准备危机沟通计划的准则。作为课程评估的一种形式，要求学生回答有关其使用Wiki经历的五个问题。得出有关在在线教学中使用Wiki的实用性的结论。学生们肯定了合作可以带来学习和知识获取。通过合作，学习者可以观察并改善学习中的弱点或差距。学生通过检查和改进他人的工作互相学习。学生们还认为，使用Wiki开发文档是进入工作场所的一项宝贵技能。存在许多障碍，使得在在线教学中使用Wiki更具挑战性。在线监控和纠正学生的行为比面对面的教室要困难得多。大多数学生不愿编辑和更改其他学生的作品，因此需要使用激励措施来促使学生编辑彼此的作品。学生应该接受定向学习，以学习维基的目的和好处，并获得有关如何使用维基的指导。该研究证实了有关使用Wiki作为学习策略的主题的许多研究。此外，研究表明，过程对学习和结果一样重要。学习使用Wiki与生成最终文档同样重要。学生应该接受定向学习，以学习维基的目的和好处，并获得有关如何使用维基的指导。该研究证实了有关使用Wiki作为学习策略的主题的许多研究。此外，研究表明，过程对学习和结果一样重要。学习使用Wiki与生成最终文档同样重要。学生应该接受定向学习，以学习维基的目的和好处，并获得有关如何使用维基的指导。该研究证实了有关使用Wiki作为学习策略的主题的许多研究。此外，研究表明，过程对学习和结果一样重要。学习使用Wiki与生成最终文档同样重要。
