aw1l 3.2 Conclusions

Conclusions

• Teaching staff stated positive items of Wiki methodology (easiness and speed of access, version control, registry of who, when and what changed in each document, ...), even if some minor disadvantages were also noted.

• Students from all subjects using Wiki methodology showed in surveys less negative comments regarding the difficulties of the methodology to accomplish the group work, than students with traditional methodology

• Letting others to see or modify your work is worth, even when it's not finished and you fear that others read your "work in progress" which may be messy or with important gaps.

• The role of "Editor in chief" is very important and needed for higher final quality of the work produced, regardless of methodology followed. This task is apparently facilitated by Wiki methodology.

• If some "good practice" recommendations are taken into account, there is a higher possibility that wiki methodology increases the efficency of writting documents cooperatively, respect to traditional methodology.
