Cochrane, Sandra and Brodie, Lyn and Pendlebury, Greg (2008) Successful use of a wiki to facilitate virtual team work in a problem-based learning environment. In: 19th Annual Conference of the Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AaeE 2008): To Industry and Beyond, 7-10 Dec 2008, Yeppoon, Australia.
Abstract
This paper investigates the use of a wiki to support forty-two virtual teams and their development of three team reports for assessment in a core first year course. ENG1101 Engineering Problem Solving 1 uses a problem-based learning paradigm to facilitate the development of effective teamwork, communication and problem solving skills, as well as the acquisition and application of key technical knowledge to real world engineering problems. Our early analysis of student evaluation responses, the monitoring of teams' wiki use and teams' assessment outcomes support our choice of a wiki as a learning platform.
