Engage students in collaborative projects using wikis.

With Wikis, instructors can easily create and grade group objects online. Students cooperate to formulate, organize, and present solutions in the form of websites, creating an enduring shared knowledge base in the process.

For detailed help on how to use a Team Site, see the online Instructor Guide.

Adding a Team Site is similar to adding an Turnitin Assignment to a Content Area, such as "Course Documents". The site appears as a link available to group members with the Wiki icon :

• First go to the course Control Panel.
  
  
• Select a Content Area, such as Course Documents.

• On the far right-hand side of the Add bar, click the Select: dropdown menu.
  
  
• Select the Wiki option.

• In the Create Wiki screen, enter a Wiki Name and Description.
  
  
• If you have already created course groups, using either Manage Groups or Advanced Group Management, you can select groups to add or you can add individual members into the team.
  
  
• Make sure the content is visible to group members, and decide whether you want students to be able to comment on Wiki pages.
  
  
• You may choose dates and times during which group members can edit the site and non-group members in the class can view the site.
  
  
• You may also opt to Create a Gradebook entry for this Wiki in your Gradebook. Enter a name, select a category, description, maximum number of points, and select whether to make the grade visible to students.
  
  
• Click Save when you are ready to create the Wiki.

• You, the instructor, and students that have been added to the Team, can access the Wiki as you would an Item or Turnitin Assignment in your Content Area by clicking on the View link.
  
  
• Students can create a New Page for their site, and visit other pages they have created by clicking on Page List.
