Samples
- Course Catalog Model: This model is the most basic and includes includes a description of the course along with pages for things like goals (what you will learn), policies (grading, attendance, etc.), logistics (meeting times/locations, office/tutoring hours, contact info).
- Syllabus Model: This model builds on the previous model and adds a daily course syllabus. It can also include a place for "notices" where the teacher can post information for the students - like reminders of due dates, changes to the schedule, and even hints for preparing for a test/exam.
- Assignment Model: This model builds on the previous models and adds pages for individual assignments. These "assignment pages" are really no more than what you give out in class when you give an assignment. They include a description of the assignment, what is expected, when it is due, and perhaps a grading rubric.
- Two Way Model: This model goes in a different direction allowing students to contribute content. Pages/Sections can be setup for students to edit. The model can be implemented for collaborative works as well as individual contributions. In a collaborative model, students work on pages/section of the wiki together - collaboratively. They add-to and edit each other's work. In a individual model, each student is given a page or section on which they create content. They may be able to view other classmates' pages, but they cannot edit the content.
