Simply put, a Wiki is a collaborative book. In fact, what you are looking at right now is a wiki. Not only do Wikis allow students to work together on building a body of knowledge, but it also contains a **discussion** tab, to facilitate dialogue and questions about that page (each page has a discussion tab). Also, each page has a **history** tab that records any additions, deletions or changes which have been made to the page.

Below is some great resources about wikis, as well as samples of how wikis have been used in the classroom.
