At SIGCSE 2008 Dr. Cassel took part in a panel entitled "Wikis-Collaborative for CS Education". The panel presented several collaborative-learning exercises that have been carried out with wikis, and give advice to instructors who want to use wikis in their classes. Dr. Cassel shared her experience using wikis in a Computer Networks course. For several semesters she has found it useful to require students to find relevant supplementary material on the Web, post a link to the resource, and submit it for review by their fellow students. Each student was required to find materials and also to review materials found by their classmates. A Wiki was used to support the student effort.
