From UCanWiki

This website contains loads of notes that you can give to your students. Click here to see what notes are available.

You can also edit the notes yourself (a wiki is just a website that is really easy to edit, and can be edited by a large group of people). Just sign up for a user account.

Creating a new page

Before you create a new page, you have to search to make sure it doesn't already exist on the wiki. Type the proposed title of your page into the search box in the left hand of this page and click "Go". You will be taken to a page of search results. If you still want to create your page, click the "create this page" link at the top of the search results.

Editing a page

The syntax you have to use to edit pages on the wiki is a little more complicated than that used on forums and blogs, but it's still very simple. Here are the basics. Since this wiki uses the same syntax as Wikipedia, you can learn more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_edit.
