===Constructivism===
Constructivism is a learning theory based on the idea that knowledge is constructed by a learner based on mental activity. Learners are considered to be active knowledge developers. They receive data and then, through learning activities, they are convert that data into knowledge they can use. <br />
Constructivism is founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world consciously we live in. <br />
Collaborative development of a wiki page is a group activity where numerous people are reflecting their experiences and constructing new better understanding of the world we live in.<br />
