The old way of managing creation of a collaborative document is that the coordinator sends a
draft to the team as an email attachment. Then as each person inputs to, or edits the original
document, version control can quickly become an issue and finally no one knows who has
amended what and there is no final version, just confusion. When collaborative documents are
prepared on a wiki, there is only one version, which is always up to date and includes all
corrections. Wiki software stores the history of the pages which is also a very useful feature.
The coordinator edits the final version and everything is ready for moving forward. There are
two main developments that have made use of collaborative online tools possible. The
technical reason is that the net is faster, high quality wiki software is available, and more and
more people can access the content not only with desktop computers but with different
mobile devices. The political reason is the urge of revolution in education; to move from
teacher centred standardised test oriented education to student centred, learning focused
education.
