As the instructor, you can decide who in your class is allowed to edit and add content to a Wiki, and which participants in the class are allowed to view the wiki. You can use a Wiki to have students collaborate on a document, do a team project, produce a group report, or any other exercise in working together.
Here is how to add a Wiki to your course site in Blackboard:
Step 1 - Choose a content area
First toggle Edit Mode at the upper right of your course to "on"
Click a content area in your course menu on the left in which you would like the Wiki to appear (you could choose "Course Material" or "Documents" for example).
Step 2 - Add the Wiki
Use the "Add Interactive Tool" button and click on "Campus Pack Wiki".
Choose "new" Wiki and click the Submit button.
Give your Wiki a title and choose grading options:
Step 3 - Add a page to the Wiki
Use the "Add New Page" button to add the first page to the Wiki. Use the "Permissions" settings at the top to decide which of your students or groups will have access to the Wiki to edit and/or view.
Step 4 - How students can edit the Wiki
The Wiki will appear in your course under the section you chose in step 1. View or edit the Wiki, students click the View link
If they have permission, students can edit the current page of the Wiki by clicking "edit" on the right side of the page. They can add a new page to the Wiki by clicking "Add New Page".
