This guide will teach you how to configure a Wiki activity.

A Wiki activity is a collection of related information, in which users can share their thoughts and ideas about the content.

 

1. Add a new activity within a Course or Live Learning. Or update an exiting Wiki activity within a Course or Live Learning.

 

2. Select "Wiki" from the 'Activity Type' dropdown. Fill in the required fields and configure the settings:

  • Wiki Name (Required) - The title of the Wiki activity.
  • Wiki Description (Required) - The description of the Wiki activity.
  • Show Description - The description will be displayed if this toggle is switched on.
  • Who Can Edit - Dictate which users can edit the Wiki.
  • Hidden to Users - The Wiki activity will be hidden to end users if this toggle is switched on.
  • Icon - You are able to select an icon to be displayed against the activity.
  • Course Completion Prerequisite
    • Always available - the Wiki activity will always be available.
    • Only available if the user has a previous completion in this course - the Wiki activity will not be accessible unless a user has a previously completed the course.
    • Not available if the user has a previous completion in this course - the Wiki activity will not be accessible if the user has previously completed the course.
  • Activity Prerequisites - Activity prerequisites allow you to define which other activities in the Course must be completed before this activity can be accessed by users. If a prerequisite is hidden to a user for any reason they will not be required to complete it before accessing this activity.
  • Completion Criteria - Activity completions will be disabled for Wiki activities.
