Research background Hypotheses (1st pilot study)
1. the collaboration supported by social software reinforces the peer relationships among the students of the class
2. and improves the time efficiency of the stakeholders participating on

Conclusions
• This experience is extensible in Cuban higher education– More engaged students– Better quality of research reports
• Checking hypothesesthe collaboration supported by social software reinforces the peer relationships among the students of the class,and improves the time efficiency of the stakeholders participating on

Limitations of the study
![Page 20: Wikis supporting research workshops in higher education, prospective use in Cuban universities](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54b2ea3b4a795932488b4586/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Recommendations for subsequent use
• Alternating the number of members and membership of the research teams.
• Providing the students with various collaboration strategies.
• Using the online forums of the wiki instead of the e-mail.
• Using the RSS channels for controlling the contributions and discussions.
![Page 21: Wikis supporting research workshops in higher education, prospective use in Cuban universities](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54b2ea3b4a795932488b4586/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Promoting the use of references to the resources for a better supporting of the students’ contributions.
• Warranting the training of the students on the use of this kind of tools.
• Decreasing the complexity of the tools for analysing the classroom network.
• Improving and increasing the ways of feedback between students and instructors.
