When it comes to anything to do with the internet the word “fast” is always a positive attribute. So it is not surprising that if wiki is a Hawaiian word (Schaffert, 2006) that when translation means the word “fast” that it would be something quick, easy and prompt.
When wiki software is used to collaborate, create and edit interlinked web pages to form a website this is called a Wiki. I extremely well known wiki is Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/). Wikis allow you to go from one topic to another by a click of a button. This is a beneficial learning resource (Oliver, 1999) as it cuts out time wasted by individually searching for items because related items are interlinked and can be easily accessed via wikis.
