Learn the difference between Blackboard wikis, campus pack wikis, and WMwikis.
W&M Faculty Have Three Wiki Tools to Choose from
The Blackboard Wiki tool is a good choice for folks who wish to use a simple wiki which will only be viewed by members of the class.
Option 1: Campus Pack
Campus Pack is a Blackboard add-on. Campus pack originally provided tools that were not available in earlier versions of Blackboard.
Option 2: Wikis in Blackboard
You will find two links for wiki tools in your Blackboard Course Management or Tools area. The Blackboard wiki tool is called simply, “Wikis”. The Campus Pack add-on is called “Campus Pack Wiki Tool.”
Option 3: WMwikis
The third wiki tool available to W&M users is WMwikis. WMwikis is a robust wiki-editing tool that is great for collaborative projects and for sharing content on the web. Visit www.wmwikis.net to explore WMwikis.
