Using wikis for collaborative work assessment in an electronic instrumentation course

This work shows how wikis provide an adequate frame for collaborative work, and help to evaluate it. Using the wiki tools available in the educational web platform Ilias, the students of an Electronic Instrumentation course work in teams to accomplish different tasks. After the activity due date, professors use wiki tools such as contributions index, submission history, and changes list, to assess, in an objective way, group and individual progress. The experience demonstrates to motivate student participation.
