My A&P students created their own WikiPages for class reports on diseases.

A list of diseases for the WikiPage projects. Groups were written in the boxes under their class period, next to the disease of their choosing.
This page was filled in and posted on the Student Center board at regular intervals. Student names were filled in the colored boxes, but I removed them for privacy reasons. However, you can still see how I color coded boxes to indicate research (or other reasons which were noted at the top each time) status. Blue boxes were empty with no groups researching that topic.
How to start your WikiPage: set-up and login.
WikiPage design orientation - just a VERY general overview of the main page.
This page was copied and handed out to each student in class one day before projects were due. (I had also included a copy of this with their project requirements at the start.) They had to complete the name field at the top and evaluate their partner on this form. I then collected them back and used them for evaluating the students' presentations and WikiPages.
This is a very small list of websites that the students could use. I approved websites as needed if students were unsure of their validity. Before the project the students went to the library one day where the librarian gave a lesson on research, citing sources, and what constitutes a valid websites vs. one that is not.
