Case Studies

• I've been using Tiki for managing my high school English class here in California... Case Study - Dennis Daniels
• At the University of Virginia, Bryan Pfaffenberger is using Tiki to facilitate discussion and engagement in all the courses he teaches... Case Study - Bryan Pfaffenberger
• At University of Barcelona, Spain Xavier de Pedro is using Tiki to test the strong and weak points of using wikis for teaching and learning at university, besides for cooperating the lecturers in preparing teaching material among us and eventually in cooperation with our students... http://uniwiki.ourproject.org)" class="wiki wiki_page">Case Study - Xavier de Pedro
• I'm using Tiki for managing my secondary school here in Italy... Case Study - Liceo Malpighi

Desired Features

• Simple interface for a student at login, such as the one shown at Claroline/Dokeos
• Calendar For classroom applications, the Calendar needs a major upgrade. How could this feature (or a new, separate Calendar-like feature) best serve educational needs?
• Gradebook Course management features are needed, but these should go beyond merely creating new database tables (and appropriate input/output pages) to record or display grades. What do educators need from this feature? How could grade input features be incorporated into workflow management?
• Permissions What changes or enhancements are needed to Tiki''s permissions model in order to facilitate classroom use?
• Trackers How would Tiki's Trackers feature need to be enhanced in order to facilitate course management tasks, such as managing attendance records?
• Workflow Much of what instructors do involves workflow: students submit work; instructors read this work, make comments, and determine a grade; the grade is recorded; and the work is returned to the student. How could Tiki's workflow features be adapted, customized, or enhanced to make workflow applications easily accessible and transparent to users?
• Wiki history-diff by author It would be nice if in any wiki page, the history could be navigated by a lecturer/instructor in such a matter that changes by user could be easily identified and tracked. It would help to use wiki as a tool to evaluate a students contributions to a wiki page (student work, etc.). I mean something such it can be performed nowadays with Open Office suite programs through the "file>versions>compare>filter by author" option, and navigate through this person's changes. Xavi
