Strengths:
- Exposed all students to a wiki (forced by way of assessment)- some may never have used before (Behaviourism - conditioning students to not be afraid of technology but to embrace the opportunities they present)
- Structuring and scaffolding (use of De Bono's six thinking hats) of wiki allowed target and specific learning to occur (Cognitivism - requiring students to analyse and evaluate (higher order thinking))
- Allowed collaboration of ideas (Constructivism and connectivism - joining of ideas, experiences and perceptions from varied individuals all sharing)
- Technology fails - wiki wiping off other students contributions as others were trying to add information (Attempt at constructism failed)
- Online digital copy for students who may have been away to also participate at later date (connectivism and constructivism)
- Allows students to refer back to later
- Learning from the weaknesses and threats to better the lesson next time i.e. saving information onto a shared drive first and then having one scribe to upload)
- Students to reference information where they retrieved it from to allow further research to occur from others (constructivism)
- Publicly open wiki for editing - may lead to all information being lost or sabotaged
