Abstract

Web-based learning systems have become common in recent years and wikis, websites whose pages anyone can edit, have enabled online collaborative text production. When applied to education, wikis have the potential to facilitate collaborative learning. We have developed a customized wiki system which we have used at our university in teaching translation in collaborative student groups. We report on the design and implementation of our wiki system and an evaluation of its use.
