WIKI

Wiki is a web technology used for collaborative publishing on the web. Wiki is a type of server software that allows you to work with data on a remote server on the Web. Users interact with the software through a web interface that lets them read, edit and publish content.

I am sure everyone has ever used Wikipedia, but i'm also sure many of us have never tried some other opportunities of WIKI. I couldn't imagine that there are numerous of them!!!😲

WIKI sites include:

Encyclopedic editions

being an information resource, this site attracts hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world to discover their contributions, and hundreds of millions just to read.

Corporate WIKI

knowledge bases that collect corporate rules, workflows, case studies that have accumulated in the company over the years. Used to train new employees.

Fan VIKI

These are websites dedicated to a specific area that excites a group of people. From anime lovers to beer lovers, from movie lovers to architects and designers.

Educational WIKI

These are mainly collective research projects. These problem-oriented projects are usually developed by students and moderated by their teachers. Can also be used in education as a resource and collaborative environment.

I studied some WIKI sites used in education.

 For example, Teflpedia is a resource dedicated to everything related to teaching English. Their goal is to become the primary user resource for English teachers from around the world.

Wikiversity is a project dedicated to learning resources, learning projects and research for use at all levels, types and styles of education, including training and non-formal education.

WIKI is improving every day, and who knows, maybe tomorrow will be the most popular resource for education.
