[art] Lions and Tigers and Wikis, Oh My! . Moodle, Wikis, y Ludo (Marc Alier)

Bueno!!! Hoy continuamos con Moodle, en este caso un artículo de Ludo (Marc Alier) , con el que ya nos vimos en nuestra conversación el miércoles, junio 21, 2006Marc Alier: “L’èxit de Moodle demostra que les idees són més importants que les filigranes tecnològiques”.

El artículo (cuyo título me recuerda mucho a una canción de Torrebruno en un programa de TVE ahora que se cumplen 50 años) de MoodleZine gira en torno a los Wikis y Moodle,

Those who think about using wikis in their Moodle practices sooner or later stop by Using Moodle - Wiki Forum , and then they realize that there is not just one wiki for Moodle but four!!! What happened here? And then which wiki should I use? Why I should use wikis? These are questions that arise often in the forum and I’ll try to answer in this article, and also convince you to use DFWiki or the New Wiki.

Introduction: Four wiki and one Moodle. How did we come to this?

1. eWiki
First there was Moodle without a wiki, and everything was fine. And then came this guy called Michael Schneider and adapted a wiki engine called efurtWiki to work as a Moodle Activity Module, the Moodle Wiki Module came to life. I’m going to refer to it as eWiki from now on.

The eWiki was a fine module with several remarkable features that most of wiki engines still don’t have. These are some but not all of them:

* Have many wikis per site. Most wiki engines (like Mediawiki or the huge CMS Tikiwiki ) work on only one wiki context. This is very useful for may purposes, but for learning applications (and many others I can think of) it’s interesting to be able to create as many separate wikis as you want, and even to have a separate wiki for each course group or each single user/student.
* Use the Moodle HTML Editor as alternative editor. When the teacher creates the wiki he can decide to use HTM Editor or to work with the eWiki markup syntax.
* The wiki entry filter that site-wide automatically links the references to wiki entries, like the glossary activity. (leer más...)
