References
- This article, authored by Renée Fountain, endeavours to denote and promote pedagogical experimentations concerning a Free/Open technology called a "Wiki". An intensely simple, accessible and collaborative hypertext tool Wiki software challenges and complexifies traditional notions of - as well as access to - authorship, editing, and publishing. Usurping official authorizing practices in the public domain poses fundamental - if not radical - questions for both academic theory and pedagogical practice. The particular pedagogical challenge is one of control: wikis work most effectively when students can assert meaningful autonomy over the process. This involves not just adjusting the technical configuration and delivery; it involves challenging the social norms and practices of the course as well (Lamb, 2004).
- An interactive timeline of human history.
- Over 50 wikis compared, based on 13 caracteristics (columns).
- Although technically challenging, this is an interesting site whose purpose is to select wiki software.
- You can also consult the Comparison of wiki software in Wikipedia.
Les wikis : groupware nouvelle génération
- Cybercarnet by Cyril Fievet.This francophone site discusses the teamwork at the heart of wiki creation and the new relationships that form between participants.
- A wiki applying patterns that maximize people's efforts, guiding the growth of content, and recognizing other patterns that hinder growth.

Anne-Gaëlle Habib, conseillère pédagogique, Cégep Ahuntsic [2009-4-08]Un dossier utile et tellement clair !
Toutes mes félicitations, Alain, pour ce dossier sur le wiki. Tout y est et ça se lit... comme un roman. Le dossier tient compte des aspects tant pédagogiques que techniques, tout cela dans un langage clair, concis. Tout comme le wiki, ton dossier est un idéateur de première classe. Suggestion : un atelier VIA à l'intention des REPTIC sur ce dossier ? J'attends la réponse... :-)
