SuperSwiki - bringing collaboration to the class room

SuperSwiki is not yet a well defined term. Its origins go back to Ward Cunningham´s Wiki and its Squeak variant, the Swiki. It provides a place to share and edit Web pages, files, and, in case of the SuperSwiki, Squeak projects. The concept of a (Super)Swiki lends itself very well to facilitate collaboration in the classroom, on a campus or even across the Internet. It is easy to set up and all that is needed on the client side is a Web browser (and Squeak). This paper illustrates some of the key ideas behind SuperSwikis, how to run and use them, and considers some existing installations.
