In this paper we illustrate our experience of using the cooperative framework provided by an extended Wiki Web as a tool for distance teaching of Sciences and Technology. A Wiki Web is a web site in which pages can be directly edited by users through the usual browser interface. A simple syntax allows the user to add contents to the web without knowing HTML. The pages are automatically linked and created whenever a particular pattern is inserted in the text. This completely removes the \one webmaster syndrome" and focuses the users to cooperatively work on the web contents. To teach Sciences or Technology we have extended a Wiki system with a plugin API and developed several plugins, e.g. to handle LATEX fragments and plots of 2D/3D functions.

Abstract
In this paper we illustrate our experience of using the cooperative framework provided by an extended Wiki Web as a tool for distance teaching of Sciences and Technology. A Wiki Web is a web site in which pages can be directly edited by users through the usual browser interface. A simple syntax allows the user to add contents to the web without knowing HTML. The pages are automatically linked and created whenever a particular pattern is inserted in the text. This completely removes the \one webmaster syndrome" and focuses the users to cooperatively work on the web contents. To teach Sciences or Technology we have extended a Wiki system with a plugin API and developed several plugins, e.g. to handle LATEX fragments and plots of 2D/3D functions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
