The article discusses an educational experience involving the use of ICT in a university context. Considering the educational design of virtual learning environments, students' opinions on the efficiency of Web Forums and Wikis for the social construction of knowledge are examined. An analysis of the data collected via a questionnaire submitted at the end of the experience provides results virtually in line with the main studies on the topic: forums and wikis are confirmed to be efficient and mutually complementary tools for supporting OCL processes. Specifically, while forums are a location for communicating, organising collaborative work, sharing contents and holding discussions with fellow-students and the teacher, wikis seem to be efficient for the actual collaborative production of knowledge.

L’intervento discute un’esperienza didattica mediata dall’uso di ICT in contesto universitario. Considerando la progettazione educativa di ambienti virtuali di apprendimento, si analizza l’opinione degli studenti sull’efficienza a livello di costruzione sociale della conoscenza di Web forum e wiki. Analizzando i dati raccolti attraverso un questionario proposto al termine dell’esperienza emergono risultati pressoché in linea con quelli delle principali ricerche in argomento: forum e wiki si confermano efficienti strumenti, tra loro complementari, per supportare processi di OCL. In particolare, se il forum si configura come luogo in cui comunicare, organizzare il lavoro collaborativo, condividere contenuti e discutere con i colleghi e con la docente, il wiki pare efficiente in funzione della vera e propria produzione collaborativa della conoscenza.

Abstract

The article discusses an educational experience involving the use of ICT in a university context. Considering the educational design of virtual learning environments, students' opinions on the efficiency of Web Forums and Wikis for the social construction of knowledge are examined. An analysis of the data collected via a questionnaire submitted at the end of the experience provides results virtually in line with the main studies on the topic: forums and wikis are confirmed to be efficient and mutually complementary tools for supporting OCL processes. Specifically, while forums are a location for communicating, organising collaborative work, sharing contents and holding discussions with fellow-students and the teacher, wikis seem to be efficient for the actual collaborative production of knowledge.
