As part of a larger research study (see Peters & Slotta, 2010), we designed a collaborative
wiki-based activity that engaged secondary students in co-creating a community knowledge
base to serve as a resource for a subsequent inquiry activity. Over eight weeks, 112 students
from four sections of a high school biology course contributed to a common wiki repository
about Canadian biodiversity. A wiki provided the ideal functionality for this activity as it
enabled students to easily access and edit each other's contributions, reorganize the …
