The course Wiki

Every edX course provides Wiki functionality; you can use it in whatever manner you feel best suits your course and the needs of your students. Some common ways the Wiki has been used include the following:

  • Archive of websites referenced in a class

  • Links to student-developed resources

  • Online errata and technical issues

  • Suggestions for course changes

  • User-editable course handouts

Here's a screenshot showing the Wiki from CaltechX: Ay1001x, The Evolving Universe:
