[Moodle] Help with Creating Wikis Please

[Maggie Iaquinto]

I've found that wikis work only when there are groups. Working out the types of groups took a bit. So, in a class of Year 9s, I had 4 different wikis going. I assigned 3-4 kids to wiki #1 and then another group to wiki #2... etc. Everyone could view all the wikis but only group members could work on their given wiki. And the Lone Wolf in the class created his own set of pages using his own wiki (group of 1 student).

At the top of your home page, add a link to a web page called [class list]
then to this new page add a list of class members (my senior students add
themselves .. smart lads ;-)

[Stephen Digby] - good progress
[Roland Gesthuizen] - talks too much
[Keith Richardson] - simply brilliant

Your students can then brag about their contributions on a page that you can
navigate to and explore from.
