title: Twelve tips for using blogs and wikis in medical education.
abstract: Blogs and wikis are an emerging area in medical education but are widely used by the general public. These easily accessed websites can be used for a variety of purposes. They can provide a learning resource that can be read by learners, they can be written by learners as a portfolio, and they can be used as a collaborative learning space. The exact use will depend on the requirements of the learner and the educator.
