Building knowledge online: master students' use and evaluation of wiki and forum

In two Master classes (N = 40), wiki and forum were used to share resources, give and receive feedback, and collaborate on a glossary. Online surveys sent to students quantified the use of different wiki features. Mid-term, end-of-term, and 1-year follow-up survey data show which elements were used most at what point in time. Use of materials, especially of the collaboratively built glossary, was still active one year after the class had ended. In sum, the knowledge built online during class was evaluated positively by students and was used well beyond the class itself.
