Quercus Course Page as a Wiki

What Can I Use It For?

Students working collaborative on laptops together

A wiki page allows a group of people to capture and share ideas. It can be used for small group or whole class collaboration per an instructor’s criteria.

An instructor can set up the desired structure ahead of time, as a table or document with headings, and post a link to the page on their Quercus course.

Some considerations are:
Do you want posts to be anonymous or attributed?
Do you want students to be able to add and edit content continuously or within a specific time period?

Special Notes

Note: Real-time editing is not supported in Quercus editable Pages (i.e., if two or more users are editing the page simultaneously, the first user to click Save will overwrite the other users’ edits. We recommend that you write your text first outside of Quercus (e.g., using MS Word) and then copy and paste the text to the wiki page.
