Abstract

Collaboration in contemporary teaching and learning practice can be highly supported and improved via usage of information and communication technology, even when it comes to solving complex team assignments in university courses. One of the possibly best types of software tools for such purposes is wikis. This paper presents the experimental usage of wiki as means of introducing collaborative activities in two completely different courses on the undergraduate level of Computer Science studies -- an introductory eBusiness course for freshmen, and the advanced course in Software Engineering for final year students.
