The article is very short, and it cites these 2 references:
The State of Wiki Usage in U.S. K–12 Schools: Leveraging Web 2.0 Data
Warehouses to Assess Quality and Equity in Online Learning
Environments,
by Justin Reich, Richard Murnane, John Willett, Harvard Graduate
School of Education, Cambridge, MA,
http://edr.sagepub.com/content/41/1/7.full?ijkey=SwQJtGJBQRXLU&keytype=ref&siteid=spedr
("A recent research article about the uses of wikis in K-12 education
is a welcome addition to understanding wiki use." -- according to the
article you mentioned)
and
The Wiki Quality Instrument, by Justin Reich and the Distributed
Collaborative Learning Communities Project,
http://www.edtechresearcher.com/wiki-quality-instrument/the-instrument/
(which was a key tool in the article above)
Main findings: "The researchers found that in education there was a
pattern of wiki use which could be understood as four types of wikis:
‘(a) failed wikis, trial wikis, and teacher resource sites; (b)
teacher-centred content delivery devices; (c) individual student
presentations and portfolios with limited collaboration; and (d)
collaborative student presentations and workplaces’ (p. 11)."
"This research report is well worth reading and makes a significant
contribution to further understanding online learning in education."
-- perhaps especially because the full text of the article appears to
be available for free (at least at the present moment).
