Classroom Wikis as Case Study
Scale: In 2008, ~250,000 education-related PBworks wikis created globally, ~70% of which were publicly viewable
Depth: Every wiki edit by every user on every page recorded continuously to the second.
Does wiki usage differ in schools serving different populations?

Reponses to inequity in wiki usage:
1) If there is more net learning, whoever is learning, that’s good.
2) We should prioritize serving middle and high income learners to develop political support
3) We should rethink our delivery mechanisms to ensure that innovation targets those who need the most support
Thank you!
