What's+a+Wiki?

What is a wiki and how can it be useful in a learning environment? While the short clip below explains the Wiki as just a collaborative tool, it can also act as a normal website. We will initially lock down the information pages and just leave the student pages open for their own postings. There will always be an opportunity to comment on other student's work and make suggestions for improvements or give encouragement.
