Strengths
· A wiki allows students to enter and contribute to; work, discussions, ideas, and state and answer questions
· A wiki can be accessed by any student with the internet any time
· Students can ask questions about work being completed over the weekend, and others (inc Learning Manager) can answer
· The site is relatively easy to use and would probably take little educating depending on the age of the students
· A discussion forum can be established in the site allowing the students to communicate.
Weakness
· Wiki’s can be established so any student or person can edit the work already established. A great deal of trust would need to be exhibited by the class
· The site has is not as user friendly compared to weebly.com.
Opportunity
· If the wiki is establish and explained correctly, student could be engaged in all 6 parts of Blooms taxonomy
· The wiki could be used in group assignments, enabling students to interact out of school time
· Wiki allows a discussion forum to take place eliminating the need to have a blog.
Threats
· If the Learning manager wants students to contribute to content, anyone can change the content and remain anonymous
· Students could post inappropriate content
· If not established correctly, students may only be able to read content, this would not engage them in a high level of learning
