Abstract:
Wikis have become increasingly popular
both in corporate and educational environments
due to the new ways of working collaboratively that
they offer, including new ways to improve the
learning process of students and employees.
Leading universities worldwide have started
implementing their own wikis and applying them to
different subjects with success, which made more
universities follow their example, to the point where
nowadays we can find wikis (some of them still in
development) in almost all major universities in the
world. Nevertheless, not all of the benefits of wikis
in multidisciplinary university environments are
always obtained; on the contrary many students
and teachers do not use it to its full potential. For
this reason, and in pursue of a greater
understanding of why this occurs and which
methods could be implemented to achieve and
reach the wikis full educational potential, in this
article a particular initiative in a specific subject of
the Computer Science degree is described. The
results will contribute to further evaluate the
viability and develop the potential of the
implementation of wiki platforms in other subjects
and degrees, in the hopes of reaching a fully
functional multidisciplinary wiki
