![Wiki’s – Collaborative Publishing Tools Definition: What is a Wiki? A wiki is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, and edit content.] A collaborative technology for organizing information on Web sites, the first wiki (WikiWikiWeb) was developed by Ward Cunningham in the mid-1990s. Wikis allow for linking among any number of pages, to add, change or update content. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, is one of the best known wikis. (From: Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki .) Wikispaces.com provides a free, online service to teachers and students which allows them to work together using a Wiki to create, edit, collate and present information.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/lets-share-it-collaborative-tools-and-practices311/85/Lets-Share-It-Collaborative-tools-and-practices-8-320.jpg)
