Administering Wikis

In addition to blogs, Blackboard also introduced Wikis (huh, what’s a wiki?) for classroom use.  For more information on wikis, check out Educause’s “7 Things You should know about Collaborative Editing”.
Choose WIKI from the *Interactive Tool* option.  You can also access it from the *TOOLS* menu.
