Wiki Templates Transforming Instructional Environments

"Wiki Templates Transforming Instructional Environments (WiTTIE) helps teachers and students easily create and assess original Wiki-based texts. Text templates enable teachers to generate text scaffolds within which students can add content. Assessment templates transform grading criteria into rubrics and rating systems used to evaluate the developed text. Data analysis templates compile qualitative and quantitative assessment data gleaned from the assessment instruments to analyze performance at the individual and class level. A user-friendly interface makes it easy for all users to enter and edit content. WiTTIE will be developed through the piloting of two very different case examples. Students in an undergraduate education course will collaboratively write and evaluate successive editions of a textbook for their foundations of education course. Classes of k-12 students from around the world will create multi-media chapters describing their local environments in a global Wikitext on communities. Feedback and data from these two models will be used to refine WiTTIE resulting in a product ready for use by many types of teachers in widely varied learning environments."
