Instructions for setting up your own wikispace.
Control of content versus ease of use.
- A wiki that is completely open and does not require users to log in to edit is easiest for students to use. It also gives you little control over the wiki.
- Password protecting your wiki keeps your students' work private.
- If your school has Moodle consider setting up your wikis in Moodle.
