Purpose

Wikis are interactive webpages which enable users to freely create and edit content using a web browser (What is wiki, 2002,). Wiki can be used for a large variety of tasks such as; personal note-taking, collaborating online with other users, creating an internal knowledge base, assembling an online community and managing a traditional website (Matias, 2003). Wikis are usually used among groups to communicate information that they have in common. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a website is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users (What is wiki, 2002,para.2).
