The Wiki as a Virtual Space for Qualitative Data Collection
Castanos, Carolina; Piercy, Fred P.
Qualitative Report, v15 n4 p948-955 Jul 2010
The authors make a case for using wiki technology in qualitative research. A wiki is an online database that allows users to create, edit, and/or reflect on the content of a web page. Thus, wiki technology can support qualitative research that attempts to understand the shared thinking of participants. To illustrate the use of the wiki for this purpose, we describe how we used wiki technology in one phase of a recent Delphi study.
