Abstract
A wiki is a user-created website that can be accessed and modified by multiple users. As a Web 2.0 technology, wikis can be used to produce collaborative, co-created information and knowledge. The use of wikis can harness a group's collaborative and creative energy and allow the group to produce shared knowledge that benefits all members. Wiki also serves as a powerful tool for educational research. In this chapter, the author discusses the use of wikis in education and presents the results of a case study which explores factors that impact perceptions among faculty and students of the value of wiki technology in legal education, as well as the benefits of using wiki technology in educational research.
