“…Concerning the students' perceptions of the potential of SlideWiki to serve as an effective tool for collaboratively developing OERs, the study yielded positive results [11]. Most of the students found the platform easy to access and use, appreciated the ability to share their work within their group and access it anytime from anywhere, and felt that being able to author the assignment at their convenience facilitated the collaboration among them.…”

This paper reports on a study that was conducted to explore the potential of SlideWiki for collaborative content creation in a teacher education context. SlideWiki is a newly developed platform built on the Open Educational Re-sources (OER) ethos aiming to facilitate the collaboration around educational con-tent. In this study, 134 students (pre-service engineering educators) used SlideWiki to collaboratively develop OERs in the form of WebQuests. Students’ answers to a survey questionnaire were used to address their experience, while real interaction data from the SlideWiki platform were used to determine students’ participation in SlideWiki during the development of OERs both as individuals and as groups. The study yielded positive findings regarding students’ perceptions of the potential of SlideWiki to serve as an effective tool for collaboratively developing OERs and of its usefulness and effectiveness for supporting communities of educators. Also, assuming their future role as educators, students ex-pressed their intention to utilize SlideWiki in their practice. However, a discrepancy was noticed between students’ perceptions and their actual participation in SlideWiki (e.g. unequal distribution of workload among group members) that may be due to students’ lack of collaborative skills that need to be further cultivated.

“…This paper extends work presented by the authors in [11]. The paper aims at addressing the potential of wikis as crowd-sourcing platforms supporting collaborative authoring of Open Educational Resources (OERs), through the evaluation of the newly developed SlideWiki platform being utilised in a constructivist teacher-training context.…”

IntroductionThis study examines the effectiveness of learning processes developed through a technology-enhanced approach in higher education. Therefore, we analyzed Webquests together with other gamification resources, considered relevant research studies on the impact and advantages of this inquiry-oriented learning approach, and examined students’ perceptions of the effects of these online learning tools on developing their organizational skills and effective planning for learning.MethodsParticipants in the study were 73 student teachers enrolled in the core unit of Social Studies, in the second year of the Primary Education degree at the University of Murcia (Spain). In this study, a pre-test and posttest design was applied and questionnaires were administered to students at the beginning and end of the term to examine the impact of this inquiry-oriented approach on the development of students’ learning processes. Their perceptions of the learning achieved were analyzed using statistical software for Excel (XLSTAT).ResultsThe results indicate that these online tools effectively promote technology-enhanced learning and collaborative work, especially among the most motivated and digitally literate students, underlining the importance of motivation and digital literacy as catalysts for learning.DiscussionThe study also highlights the need for further research on the impact of digital resources in promoting competency-based learning alongside other motivational online approaches in tertiary education.
