The knowledge advancement theme explores the educational use of wikis in different institutional settings and the challenges that arise as the open architecture and shared authorship features of wiki software meet practices grounded in concepts of individual learning. This links to the design theme, in which the affordances and

Such competences cannot be fostered without support; social and material. However, assessment of such practices is not well accounted for. We analyse data from a four year intervention study where teachers and researchers collaborated in developing a wiki to afford relevant tasks and assessment of students' activities. Our findings show that material tools may afford and make visible ideas for future assessment practices, but that such practices have not materialized beyond 'what might be'.

Empirically we examine how learners in a Norwegian senior high school class learning English as a foreign language approach and respond to an open-ended and collectively oriented task using a wiki. Our findings show that collectively oriented knowledge and language production takes place locally in small groups as well as in the larger collective of the class, and that learners find it difficult to maintain awareness of both levels of activity. However, when facing a breakdown in the wiki application, learners sustained strategies that carried many of the characteristics of collective production. We argue that there is a need to further theorize the task-tool relationship in activities involving collective knowledge production and that we need to align pedagogical as well as technological designs in order to give support for such efforts.
