For the last several months, we’ve been researching and designing a new way to add users to wikis without email addresses — notably, K-8 students.
Today, we’re happy to announce a new feature, Classroom Accounts, which will let you add users without email addresses. In consultation with dozens of educators, we’ve created a system that makes it unbelievably easy to add your students to your 2.0 educational wiki.
First, I’ll show you a video of the feature. Then, we’ll go into detail using a short tour with screenshots.
This webinar goes over the basics of using PBwiki. This webinar is perfect for both beginning users, as well as expert users who are looking for a better way to introduce PBwiki to their team or classroom.
According to Wikipedia: "A "wiki farm" is a server or an array of servers that provides hosting for a wiki, or a group of wikis hosted on such servers.
The table compares general information for a number of wiki farms. Further information can be found at the websites themselves, or in the Wikipedia article for some of the more notable ones. This article is not all-inclusive or necessarily up to date. It does not review or endorse any wiki farm.
