Hi Maria, Yes. The wiki tool is an add-on. Cal Poly purchased the license from Learning Objects/Team LX: http://www.learningobjects.com/teams.jsp to have a wiki tool in Bb. This wiki is VERY BASIC, but has specific tracking system for the instructor to grade individual contribution as well as collective collaboration. One benefit of having a wiki embedded in Bb is that it's easier to maintain and manage students' work. I've also used WetPaint (http://www.wetpaint.com/), which is free and with unlimited memory. The site looks very attractive since you can choose different templets to set up your wiki. The ads can be turned off if you email the WetPaint administrator, indicating that the wiki is used for education only. jennie On Nov 12, 2008, at 3:33 PM, Maria E.Gonzalez wrote:
