Wikis in Education http://learninglab.lincoln.ac.uk/wiki/Wiki-tivities_bibliography
There is evidence that user-created content encourages deeper engagement with learning, through the act of authoring, simply because the awareness of an audience, no matter how virtual or tentative, encourages more thoughtful construction of writing. (Jacobs, 2003) in Wheeler S, Yeomans P and Wheeler D (2008) The good, the bad and the wiki: Evaluating student-generated content for collaborative learning. British Journal of Educational Technology, 39 (6), 987-965.
