Abstract
Of all the Web 2.0 tools, Wiki software and the Wikipedia available on the World Wide Web seem to have the most chance of getting embedded in instructional practice. They are already making inroads in corporate learning, faster than other technologies have done. What is particularly interesting is that they are being used to link both formal and informal learning. In this presentation, we will look at the theory and practice of the use of Wiki tools and make some predictions about their impact in higher education as well as on-going professional development.
