- Abstract:
The article provides information on the benefits of using wikis, websites that allow users to edit and add information to the web page, when attempting to teach and study Victorian history and culture. Emphasis is given to an analysis of the workings of the website "Victorian Contexts." The author explains how she incorporated wiki-use into her lesson plans and coursework on the Victorian-era British periodical "Punch." More broadly, the author is concerned with how the use of this technology fits in well with pedagogical methods celebrating collaborative learning.
