Wikis

A wiki is an interactive website that allows several editors to write, change and otherwise update information on the site. A history is kept of all changes which allows the administrator to reverse changes. In most cases an administrator decides who will have writing and who will have reading access to the site. In medical education, it is very useful for planning and reporting on team projects.
