In Wikis as Learning Environments, Forte and Buckman report

As noted, the procedural and information-sharing portion of the class was shortened, and most of it was moved to a new online reference section for managers. This was created within the organizations internal wiki (i.e. intranet search and data) site. This resource was introduced to participants during the class. Additionally, the entire course was made more interactive, with less lecture, to appeal to adult learners and to increase content retention. Throughout the process, the course and all related
