What is a wiki?

Benefits

• Minimal training needed.

• Can help develop a culture of sharing and working together.

• Useful for joint projects when there are agreed shared goals.

Why a terminology wiki?

1. A forum in which we can post and discuss new higher-education terms.

2. A shared pool of mutually approved higher-education terms.

3. The basis for an EU-wide, shared higher-education terminology resource.
