CORRECTING as a Digital Pedagogy - Moving from a pedagogy of correct to correcting requires a mindshift. Content is not deemed to be correct before it is submitted or shared, it is in a state of correcting, much like wikis. The correcting or wiki-way of learning is ubiquitous in the modern age. It is a powerful part of the @CTIVATED Classroom - After all, we all learn more from our mistakes than from what we do right!

Wiki Correcting - Wikis are built around the concept of continual correcting. While wikis are often critiqued for not being accurate, their constant correcting provides, in many situations, far more accuracy than content that is simply deemed correct.

Picture
Wikis Reimagined - One example of this innovative thinking is the development of the wiki survey. Original surveys were paper-based and then they were telephonic. However for both of these nothing really changed – it was mainly Likert-style questions. Even with the development of technology we simply moved this online so that you can now click a button to choose 1 (Agree) to 5 (Disagree).  The concept is the same – it is a copy/paste of the original to the new.  However two researchers decided to rethink this - what if we had a survey that allowed the participants to add to the questions, a survey that is chaotic, created, in a sense, by the respondents, yet controlled by the researchers? And so they came up with wikisurveys. 

Picture
Wiki Surveys  - Wiki Surveys ask you to compare two items, and by doing this it builds up which are preferred. Yet more than this you can suggest items you think should be in the list. There is another aspect of these surveys that is unique, and that is time – if you have 5 seconds you can do the survey, or if you have 5 hours…it will keep giving you options to better understand responses – unlike traditional surveys where the number of questions, and hence the time, is set. See an example HERE.
