Wiki technology- a major component of Web-2 tool was used to teach Business Statistics class of a semester. This pilot research study was applied to the experimental group of students enrolled for the first course in statistics education. University Builtin Blackboard was used to access the Wiki space. Students were actively involved interacting with each other's assignments by posting questions and comments on their Wiki pages. The Instructor had access to all Wiki pages of all the students and the Wiki work was live throughout the semester. The Wiki project of the experimental group reflected that the students' understanding of statistics education was better and deep. These students' year-end performance was superior when compared to the control group. The active-learning Wiki research would be repeated in the next semester by the same instructor to different groups of students to see the result of statistics study if improved the same way.

Abstract


Wiki technology- a major component of Web-2 tool was used to teach Business Statistics class of a semester. This pilot research study was applied to the experimental group of students enrolled for the first course in statistics education. University Builtin Blackboard was used to access the Wiki space. Students were actively involved interacting with each other's assignments by posting questions and comments on their Wiki pages. The Instructor had access to all Wiki pages of all the students and the Wiki work was live throughout the semester. The Wiki project of the experimental group reflected that the students' understanding of statistics education was better and deep. These students' year-end performance was superior when compared to the control group. The active-learning Wiki research would be repeated in the next semester by the same instructor to different groups of students to see the result of statistics study if improved the same way.
