The knowledge society requires life-long learning and flexible
learning environments that allow learners to learn whenever they
have
time, whereever they are, and according to their own needs and background
knowledge. In this article, we investigate how Semantic Wikis
– a combination of Wiki and Semantic Web technology – can support
learners in such flexible learning environments. We first summarise
common
features of Wikis and Semantic Wikis and then describe different
aspects of Semantic Wikis for learning. We also introduce our Semantic
Wiki system called IkeWiki and show why it is particularly promising
as
a learning tool.
