Types of Collaboration
Wiki allows the development of : • Collaborative products (co-operation): sharing
Individual’s learning products, making a shared web of knowledge
• Collaboration processes : co-editing and collaborative writing of content
• Peer assessment
The mode of collaboration depends on the instructional design
