SWOT analysis for Wiki

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
