Students’ views were obtained through a questionnaire,which consisted of a set of closed-ended questions and open-ended questions. The questionnaire itemsfocused on four aspects, which are Interaction, Ease of Use, Satisfaction, and Motivation. The findings revealedthat the use of Wiki enabled the group members to interact and there was a sense of satisfaction with the use ofthe Wiki in supporting their academic writing. The students’ experience in using Wiki motivated them to exploreits use and also to recommend it to their friends.
