Wiki Technology as a Design Tool for a Capstone Design Course

Technology is a key component to the net generation's social, study, and professional skills. It is prudent to investigate the applications of new technology in education. In this study, we incorporated a wiki into a senior design course, and investigated its utility with respect to process design. We found it improved organization and interaction between the groups and the class supervisors. We also discovered the potential wikis can contribute towards pedagogical research and learning assessment.
