Wikki appears to be a place for fans to post messages about their favourite shows (Wetpaint 2009), but I can see an educational use for it. Wiki feels like a natural expression for group collaborations for online students. It also incorporates the value of connective learning, and increase experience in dealing with new information and assessing its value (Siemens 2005).
The interface is user friendly meaning younger students (and older ones) can start putting their idea's forward to their peers immediately, instead of the tedious going back and fourth with other modes of communication. Wiki also means editing, so mistakes can be altered and new avenues explored.
