THE PRINTED BOOK

Wiki Writing: Collaborative Learning in the College Classroom / Robert
Cummings and Matt Barton, Editors / 

An indispensable and engaging guide to using wikis in the classroom

About the Book

"Wiki Writing will quickly become the standard resource for using wikis
in the classroom." / Jim Kalmbach, Illinois State University

When most people think of wikis, the first---and often the only---thing
that comes to mind is Wikipedia. Robert E. Cummings and Matt Barton, the
editors of Wiki Writing: Collaborative Learning in the College
Classroom, have assembled a collection of essays which challenges this
common misconception, providing an engaging and helpful array of
perspectives on the many pressing theoretical and practical issues that
wikis raise. Written in an accessible manner that will appeal to
specialists and novices alike, Wiki Writing draws on a wealth of
practical experiences to offer a series of detailed suggestions about
how educators can realize the potential of these new writing
environments.

Robert E. Cummings is Assistant Professor of English and Director of
First-year Composition at Columbus State University. He also serves as
the Writing Specialist for CSU's Quality Enhancement Plan, assisting
teachers across campus in their efforts to maximize student writing in
their curriculum.

Matt Barton is Assistant Professor at St. Cloud State University,
Department of English. He is an Assistant Editor of Kairos
[http://english.ttu.edu/Kairos/] and an Associate Editor of Kairosnews
[http://kairosnews.org/].
