=Introduction= There are many Web 2.0 tools that allow for collaboration both asynchronously and synchronously. One of the most popular is a wiki. A wiki is simply a document, housed on the Web, shared with others, and allowing all the users to edit and add to the document. The powerful component of the wiki is that every iteration of the document is stored, the current version can be reverted to an earlier version, and, in the area of accountability, each change in the document can be tracked back to its author. Many of these wiki-like collaborative document-sharing sites are available for text documents, spreadsheets, and presentation software.
