Abstract :
Currently, many lesson-preparing systems, which simply emphasize web technology, do little consideration on the real needs of teaching. This paper argues that wiki may be an effective tool to reform present situation and proposes to develop an Eduwiki system which supports collaborative lesson-preparing activities. The main purpose of this study explores what motivates or hinders teachers to implement collaborative lesson-preparing through online observation and face to face interview method. Further, this system is used to implement collaborative lesson-preparing activities in different disciplines by more than 100 teachers in primary and middle school. The results of this study have proved that Eduwiki is effective on collaborative lesson-preparing and has important significance for the future application of Eduwiki.
