Zwei Stunden und der Rest der Woche. Bemerkungen zur Wiki-Pädagogik

Wiki Webs offer a distinctive style of collaboration on the WorldWideWeb. We discuss their application in university teaching in relating them to three different, more traditional preconceptions. (1) The time frame of academic instruction, (2) Wiki features as compared to Learning Managment Systems and (3) some general philosophical attitudes to authorship and the development of the self. We argue that Wikis are excellent tools for trying to achieve the 19th century German idea of Bildung., i.e. personal formation by educational means.
