The various aspects of using wikis in teaching by faculty members in Israeli teacher-education colleges were examined through a multiple-case design approach. The report focuses on characteristics of teaching with wikis: aims; course types; teaching methods; evaluation; content structure; characteristics of students collaborative learning and outcomes; involvement of faculty in the learning process; students' and teachers’ workload; teachers' insights about wikis’ impact on learning. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with eleven teacher educators from six colleges of education, with analysis of the courses' wiki sites. Content-analysis techniques were used to examine the resulting transcript of the interviews. It was found that using wikis in teaching is complex and has its advantages and disadvantages. The research findings indicate that integrating wikis into the teaching pedagogy improves the quality of teaching and strengthens meaningful learning. It is important to expose student teachers to meaningful uses of wikis for educational purposes, thus providing them with successful models for their teaching practices.
