Wiki types
There are three wiki types: Teacher, Groups, Student. In addition, like any activity, the wiki has the Moodle group modes: "No Groups" "Separate Groups" and "Visible Groups". This leads to the following matrix of nine possibilities:
| No Groups | Separate Groups | Visible Groups | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teacher | There is only one wiki which only the teacher can edit. Students can view the contents. | There is one wiki for every group which just the teacher can edit. Students can view the wiki of their group only. | There is one wiki for every group which just the teacher can edit. Students can view the wikis for all groups. |
| Groups | There is only one wiki. The teacher and all students can view and edit this wiki. | There is one wiki per group. Students can view and edit the wiki of their own group only. | There is one wiki per group. Students can change the wiki of their own group only. They can view the wikis for all groups. |
| Student | Every student has their own wiki which only they and their teacher can view and edit. | Every student has their own wiki, which only they and their teacher can edit. Students can view the wikis of other students in their group. | Every student has their own wiki, which only they and their teacher can edit. Students can view the wikis of all other students in the course. |
Unless the group mode has been forced by the course settings, it can be set with the groups icons on the course home page after the wiki has been created.
- A teacher can always edit every wiki in the course
