Looking back at my experience of working with others to a wiki site has helped me to realize the short comings as well as the advantages of collaborating within cyberspace. I must admit that I was a bit late for this activity however; one advantage of using this forum is that one can make their contributions at time convenient to them. It depends on how this is viewed it can easily become a disadvantage also. The wiki can be compared to a page in a book, one is able to view the thoughts and ideas of the other participants which save time and it makes easy to navigate and read.
Another benefit of using wikis allow others to edit previous work done. This editing can be done by any one in the learning community. Wikis makes working together quick and easy. It can be difficult to keep tract of discussion in a wiki. However it is a great medium for engaging in collaborative work.
