What is a wiki?

A wiki is a webpage that can be edited by anyone who is given permission to do so. With a wiki, you can collaborate with coworkers, colleagues, friends and family anywhere in the world.


Read about wikis on Wikipedia, one of the biggest and best-known wikis, here.

Watch the Common Craft video on wikis here, for a simple explanation of wikis and how they can be used.

Read "7 Things You Should Know About Wikis" from Educause.
