I created this for an assignment, but I figure it could be useful to someone considering incorporate a wiki into a training. If I ever get a chance to facilitate a training, I'll try it out myself. :)
How to Integrate a Wiki into a Training
Before:
1. Use a wiki with the staff planning the training. After briefly helping the team to understand the concept of a wiki, help each person create an account. Then, plan the agenda for the training on a wiki.
During:
2. On an overhead projector, share the agenda page of the wiki with the attendees. Provide the web address of the wiki to all attendees and encourage them to access it through laptops and smartphones throughout the training.
3. As content is being presented and discussed, have at least two members of the training team record notes on the wiki. By viewing this on the screen, the participants will be able to observe the editing process.
4. Later in the training, distribute laptops. Quickly teach participants to create a wiki account and join the training wiki as editors; use training team as roaming tutors.
5. Break the participants into small groups. Assign each group to collaboratively edit a pre-scaffolded wiki page focused on a topic relevant to the training, such as plans, ideas, goals, resources, etc.
6. When all pages are complete, allow all participants to explore and contribute to the entire wiki.
7. Encourage participants to continue using the wiki after the training.
After
8. In a week, send an email to all participants encouraging them to visit and edit the wiki.
9. At later trainings, provide time to edit old content and repeat the same collaborative contribution routine as new ideas are discussed.
Students: How could you use a wiki for a club or team meeting?
Adults: Have you ever used a wiki with a training? Do participants really use it outside of the meeting?
