When using wikis for group collaboration there are some advantages. They are as follows:
- Able to work asynchronously.
- Document is editable by everyone, but the parts that can be edited can be controlled.
- Only one link to the document needs to be clicked and not many links like in vista discussions.
- Others may add to the document.
What are some of the challenges of working with others in a collaborative wiki space?
- Others may change your contribution. This is not only an advantage of a wiki, but a disadvantage. If your contribution gets changed for the worse then it can be very disheartening.
- It can be unclear who made which edits.
- Formatting can be difficult.
