About current developments of Tiki for EDU

  • There are tons of features that can be used in educational scenarios
  • Tiki logs the activity by user and by work, and has a simple interface for report generation, which can be exported: See Action log.
  • "Type of contribution" requested to users at post time, to enhance reflective and significative learning... See Contribution
  • AulaWiki & Workspaces: some adaptations of Tiki for educational contexts (Secondary schools, Universities, etc.), as well as the main new feature to help managing groups of resources, permissions and users in an easy way.
  • You can see Workspaces in action here on edu.tw.o: http://edu.tikiwiki.org/tiki-workspaces_desktop.php?workspaceId=2

If you want to try AulaWiki workspaces, you can do it through joining us documenting them while you learn how they work. A kind of step by step AulaWiki-Tutorial-Step-by-step or screencast/video is needed. Login and you can add yourself as registered user to this workspace. To do so, once logged, follow these simple three steps:
    1. Click here (link to the "Admin" tab) of the workspace
    2. Press on the "add user" button,
    3. write your username in the "User name" box that will appear, and press "Add user" button.
      You are done. You'll see your self as user in the workspace members box on the main workspace desktop zone, and you'll see "Documentation on Workspaces" under the "My workspaces" section of the my workspaces module, in left column of the site.
      And read (while improving) the present documentation as a starter, of course! wink

Success Stories

Secondary level:

  • I'm Not So Dumb is a startup refrence/student resource for secondary and entry collegic level math/sciences. This project is live now and is starting the first phase of information creation.
  • We use Tiki in a Spanish secondary school http://www.cmariavirgen.org
  • I have setup a school intranet based on tiki. Must add that much of it has been heavily customised for use in the school environment and to make it more user friendly. Take a peek at http://trinitysch.org.uk but because it is a live site you cannot login. UserPageAndy
  • We use Tiki in a secondary school in the Free Republic of Minnesota http://torch.harborcityschool.net
  • Denny & LTSP: http://dennisgdaniels.com (?)
  • I've used TikiWiki for two very specific projects. First, there is Battles of World War I project. Students recreated battles from WWI using the weapons and tactics of the time. The other is called the Holocaust Wiki Project and here students must create a branching simulation (think choose your own adventure). For both projects I selected TikiWiki because of the wiki features and its is one of the only wikis with a login.
  • I've just started using TikiWiki for a student collaborative research project into how ICT trends like Web 2.0 are effecting their lives. The adventure begins here CICT Wiki . The students will become a part of one of five teams and be able to choose one of the research projects listed from Social Networks in Education to the Digital Divide. They will each take a specific role as well, to make sure that all posts are to a high standard. For the project I selected TikiWiki because of the wiki features and its ease to setup on my server.
