Switch to slide no 2 Welcome to spoken tutorial. In the coming few minutes, we'll talk about how to create a Wiki on the moodle site. A wiki is a collection of collaboratively authored web pages. A wiki starts with one front page.
Switch to Terminal Click the “Turn editing on” button. Choose Wiki from the “Add an activity” drop-down menu. The “Adding a new wiki” page, give the wiki a descriptive name. In the summary field, describe the purpose of the wiki and what you expect students to contribute. Select the wiki type: groups, student, or teacher. The wiki type interacts with the groups setting for your course, resulting in nine options. Click the Show Advanced button to display the additional options. Click the “Save changes” button. You will then be taken to the editing view of the wiki page you just created. Once your wiki is up and running, you and your students can begin collaborating on creating content. After you create the wiki itself, Moodle will take you to the first page. In the center of the page, you’ll see the editing area for your wiki page. If you’ve chosen the HTML only mode, you’ll be able to use the HTML editor as you would for any other document. You can add images, tables, and any formatting you need. To add other pages to your wiki, simply type a word enclosed in square brackets. If you haven’t created a page with that name already, Moodle will put a question mark next to the word. If you click on the question mark, you’ll be taken to the editing view of the new wiki page. Once you add some content and save the page, it becomes active. Whenever you type the same word in square brackets, Moodle will automatically create a link to the page. There are four tabs above the editing area: View, Edit, Links, and History. When you browse a wiki, every page is displayed in view mode. If you want to edit a page, click the Edit tab and you’ll see the editing area for that page. The Links tab will display the pages that have links pointing to the page you are viewing. You can use this to backtrack and see where this page is referenced elsewhere in the wiki. The History tab gives you access to the version history of the page. Whenever someone clicks the Save button, they create a new version of the wiki page. Moodle tracks all these versions.
