Abstract

This article describes how the author used a wiki-based website in a real analysis course, and assesses its effectiveness. The wiki was used to post course materials, maintain a forum, enable students to write collaborative projects, and enable students to develop a glossary of important terms. The wiki proved to be very successful; it facilitated student collaboration, exposed students to LaTeX, and even helped them to study for examinations.
Keywords: Collaboration; cooperative learning; discussion board; forum; Internet; real analysis; technology; wiki
