What is a wiki?

The next time you are in a group project and it seems difficult to keep everyone updated with ideas, notes, suggestions, revisions, create a wiki and provide everyone in the group the password-protected website.
A wiki is an collaboration tool in an online environment that allows a group of students to create, edit, and update documents.
Multiple people can edit the same document at the same time. The last person to save the web page is final version that visitors to the webpage will see. All the other versions will be retained in the wiki's history.
You don't need extensive knowledge to create a wiki.
