|| How can a wiki facilitate an online learning community? What did you find difficult about using the wiki for collaboration? Easy? Wiki can facilitate an online community through the easy accessibility group members have to the wiki page. This makes the online learning close to learners. Furthermore, learners have the opportunity to learn from other group members by accessing their pages and then demonstrating the same thing their colleagues did with different ideas. The difficult thing about using wiki for collaboration is that many wiki users don’t know how to use the website. For instance, I sent invitations to my classmates more than once and instead of them accepting they send me another invitation and then we start all over. ||
