Wiki Pedagogy

> Abstract
>
> This article 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). Enacting such horizontal
> knowledge assemblages in higher education practices could
> evoke a return towards and an instance upon the making of
> impossible public goods? (Ciffolilli, 2003).
