Between the Chapters: #5 collaborating in wikis with @guzdial

25 Years of Ed Tech

This episode is targeted at Chapter 5: Wikis, but really we talk even more about how we create collaborative learning experiences, empower learners to contribute to their own courses, and how knowledge can be co-created in our educational spaces.
