Integrating Wikis in Anthropology Courses

Students in my course Anthropology 620.01 Hunter-Gatherers collaboratively made a wiki dedicated to foragers in autumn 2007. The motto of the course was: “scientifically studying the diversity of forager societies without recreating a myth" (http://foragers.wikidot.com/).  I have a written a short reflection on the use of wikis in anthropology courses for Anthropology News.

Strategies in Teaching Anthropology

I take great satisfaction in developing teaching methods and materials, and some of my innovative activities have been published in the third and fourth editions of Teaching Strategies in Anthropology.
