 * Abstract**

Technically, a wiki could be simply described as a website in which many participants can create, edit and interlink web pages in an easy way. The editing of web pages happens right on the browser through a basic word processing toolbar, an editing system normally referred to as WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). As a technology, it is not dazzling; it is almost like returning to basic word processing. Conceptually, a wiki is a collaborative document in an online environment with extraordinary capabilities to redefine how we work together and how we interact with our students. Initially, the benefits of working collaboratively and simultaneously from multiple remote locations in a shared document are difficult to grasp. Nevertheless, once habituated to the dynamics of a wiki, constructing and developing a body of knowledge within a specific subject is of great educational impact. In this session, we will cover how these collaborative documents have great potential as tools for class-related work and as adequate electronic environments for faculty members to work out informational tasks.
