Welcome to the Score4Success PLC Wiki!
You are going to experience a great collaboration tool that is often used in Online Learning. Wiki's are web sites that allow anyone to collectively contribute content to a web site.
A Wiki is web software. It allows anyone to easily create, and edit webpages by multiple people in a collaborative way.
The word Wiki itself, comes from the Hawaiian word meaning "fast". It can be a very fast way to create and edit pages to share with others. You may have searched one of the most popular Wiki's called Wikipedia. This free encyclopedia has grown to well over 2 million articles on a wide variety of subjects. Anyone can contribute to a subject matter.
For a great short video on understanding Wikis, take a few moments to view this short video on Youtube, "Wikis in Plain English."
