Not so Wiki

While learning about Wikis, which are supposed to be fast, I found myself getting bogged down. I finally read an article by Emma Tonkin under other Wiki examples that explained the purpose, accessibility, etc. of a Wiki. I can see where they might be useful for brainstorming or lab writeups, but the editing factor could be at once helpful or dangerous. If I used them in a classroom, they would definitely need to be closely monitored.
