5. Assigning groups to wikis

The following scenario will demonstrate how to set up group wikis on your module.

One of the assessment task students have to complete on ART1000 is a group presentation. To help them communicate and plan their work, the tutors want to create a wiki for each group. The tutors need to:

  1. Create groups and allocate members to each group
  2. Create a grouping that is made up of all the groups
  3. Create a wiki and release it to the grouping just created. As a result each group now has their own space within the wiki.

Creating group wikis

1. Create a wiki.

2. Release it to the groups by editing the settings.

3. In Wiki Settings - wiki mode select Collaborative wiki.

4. Within Common Module Settings, in Group Mode from the drop-down select Visible groups or Separate groups. (If you can't see all the options, click on Show advanced.)

  • Seperate groups wiki allows you to create one wiki per group, students in that group are able to edit the wiki other students cannot view the page.
  • Visible groups wiki allows you to create one wiki per group, group members can edit the wiki and other groups can view the page.

5. Select the grouping you have created.
