The Illuminated Wiki
August 12, 2008
The illuminated wiki is used to engage learners in a process of explication often accomplished through the collaborative markup of source documents.
In this process individual students can choose words or phrases from the source text, a poem for example, and explain or elaborate on its significance. While individual contributions can be monitored by the instructor the class can share in the overall elaboration of the text.
Illuminated wikis are thus illuminated by the students and work can be compared across classes or over several semesters.
