Wikis in everyday university teaching
(Johan Lundin)
How can wikis be used in everyday student activities at the university? How do we talk about work and how can wikis be part of IT-support for learning at work.
I will talk about how much of the work carried out in contemporary work practices, such as being a university student, is invisible and unavailable as a resource in everyday interaction (talk about work). I will show how we used a WIKI to make knowledge work visible and accessable as a resource for the students as well as for us teachers.
The wiki was great for:
creating inspiration and norms
using collaboratively for co-located users
providing structure to the analytic work of the students
making analytic work available for interaciton
If you want to be informed on the upcoming book "Samtal om arbete", send me an e-mail and I will keep you posted.
Why should you attend:
You will learn about how WIKIs can be employed to support collaborative learning among adult learners. You will get to know, not only how to do it, but also why it works.
- Why is work invisible, and how does this affect learning
- How WIKIs can be used to support talking about work, as learning through:
* Creating structure
* Making analytic work visible
* Supporting co-located and collaborative use

Abstract from session moderator:
Johann told us about his use of a wiki in his university teaching. His students use a wiki to gather fieldnotes. In this way he can follow their progress and guide them as their work processes. The wiki served as a reposotory for the students notes, which they gathered individually. In groups they could analize and develop their notes where they met in person to produce designs based on their fieldnotes. Johan found the wiki a useful tool to support the students collaborative learning project.
