Description
Moodle OU Wiki is an alternative to the standard Moodle wiki. The OU wiki is more flexible than the standard Moodle wiki in many ways:
- Teachers can mark OU wiki and the marks sent to the Moodle Gradebook.
- Time limits can be set for users editing wiki pages.
- Teachers can create reusable templates.
- An annotation system allows teachers to provide feedback on students' contributions.
- OU Wiki has an extended page history management tool (per page and activity-wide).
Getting started
Please visit the UNSW Teaching Gateway for a detailed guide to use the OU Wiki.

Collaborative Wikis in Moodle as summative assessments
Dr Steven Davis
Steven Davis has been deploying collaborative Wikis via Moodle for his postgraduate course in Human Resources Management (CVEN9706) for Civil Engineering over a number of years giving him the chance to refine their use considerably. He uses the “OU Wiki” activity which is a standard feature in UNSW Moodle. Steven feels that this solution has been great in particular for remote students because the cohort work together to build a community of learning.
