FAQ

Definition
Similar to a micropedia in that the focus is typically narrow. Structurally, though, the wiki is organized around questions and answers.

When to Use
Useful when there is complex conceptual or procedural knowledge which is unevenly distributed among participants. May also be used to organize exploratory, self-directed learning.

Participant Actions
Participants generate both questions and answers. Answer generation must be rewarded either extrinsically or by personal recognition. Questions may need to be refactored as greater understanding emerges.
