Students use Wikis in this online English course to provide and receive peer feedback on primary writing projects. Called Draft Workshops, students post their writing drafts into a group Wiki so their peers can provide constructive feedback.
Blackboard Wiki
Students submit an author note with each writing draft, which is all posted into the Wiki space. These author notes help responders interact with the papers, providing them a context with which to guide their feedback and thus best help the writer improve his or her writing project. Students use the Wiki formatting features to provide dynamic responses directly in the writing draft, calling attention with comments, bold emphases, cross throughs, highlighting with colors, underscoring, and so on.
