Setting Up Your Wiki

Setting Up Your Wiki

Wikis are a great way to collaborate with small groups and share resources quickly and easily. They can be created using any online application that allows collaborative modification of data - Padlet, Google Sites, Moodle Wiki, Facebook, Wordpress, etc - however, in the Medical Sciences and Medicine programmes at the University of Exeter Medical School, we are using Google Sites as the suggested platform. Therefore, below are some step by step instructions on how to set up a wiki space in Google Sites.

Step 1

Access Google Sites using the following URL

sites.google.com/new

On the page pictured below click on the red CREATE button,


Step 3

On the next screen you can name your site. You can also select a theme by choosing a pre-designed template for your site.
