• You can also link glossary entries automatically in your course.

Setting up and Managing Wikis

Wikis in Moodle are collaborative spaces where learners can work together to create content, similar to Wikipedia.

1. Creating a Wiki:

• Step 1: Go to the course homepage and turn editing on.
• Step 2: Select Add an activity or resource in the desired section.

• Step 7: Save and display.

2. Managing Wikis:

• Editing the Wiki: In the wiki activity, learners can edit the page collaboratively in real-time.
• Setting Permissions: You can adjust permissions to allow or restrict students from editing, deleting, or viewing the content.
• Version Control: Moodle automatically tracks changes and saves different versions of wiki pages.
• Assessing Wikis: You can grade wiki pages by setting up a grading scale or rubric.
• Monitor Contributions: You can track who contributed to the wiki and view their changes.

3. Adding Content to Wikis:

• Add content such as images, links, and embedded media to enrich the wiki.
• Group-based wikis allow collaboration within teams, and you can assign specific tasks or sections of the wiki to each group.

Additional Tips for Managing Collaboration Tools in Moodle:

• Group Work: You can set up groupings within Moodle to allow collaboration among specific student groups (useful for large classes).
• Permissions: Control permissions carefully to ensure appropriate levels of access (students may need different roles for different collaboration tools).
• Monitoring and Feedback: Keep an eye on student engagement through forums, chats, or wiki contributions. You can provide individual or group feedback based on their participation.
• Notifications: Set up email or forum notifications to keep students informed of new posts, changes, or updates.
