Development of a Social Networking Platform as a Methodology for Teaching in the Degree of Chemistry

摘要

Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites that allow users to create and modify their content and structure in a simple and quick way; these characteristics make them an effective platform for collaborative writing on a given topic. This article illustrates the experience in the design of a wiki as an educational activity in a practical subject of the degree in Chemistry. This methodology has been used for the elaboration of a dictionary with the conceptual terms learned during the classes. The learning strategy has been constructive, even if the percentage of student participation has been scarce. Consequently, it is necessary to introduce modifications in the design of the activity in order to obtain more satisfactory results.
