Wiki as a Collaborative Learning Tool in a Language Arts Methods Class

 Rebecca A. Callaway, Arkansas Tech University; Kathryn I. Matthew and Emese Felvegi, University of Houston

The purpose of this study was to determine how contributing to a class wiki affected the learning of preservice teachers enrolled in a language arts methods class. Participants included 37 preservice teachers enrolled in three sections of a field-based language arts methods class during two semesters. Data collection included online observations of the development of the wiki pages, students' reflections periodically posted in WebCT, final reflections, e-mail correspondence, interview transcripts, and researcher notes.
