Wikis are a great tool that allow users to contribute interesting articles, resources and ideas. They are a great way of coordinating plans without contacting many different people by e-mail. Of course, wikis need to be used with caution, since the accuracy of the information can be in question. This is the major problem with Wikipedia, which many students use for research. While it can be a very useful tool, it should ideally be used in conjunction with some other source with a higher reliability rating.
