title: Wikis and blogs: tools for online interaction.
abstract: Online education requires nursing faculty to learn teaching strategies that encourage students' interaction with the course content, their peers, the faculty, and the technology. The Web 2.0 technologies of wikis and blogs can help faculty direct online learning activities that encourage peer support, collaboration, and dialogue. The authors discuss these tools and how they were used to engage students in a nursing research course.
