 * What things do you need to consider to encourage people to use it and so on? **

Think about the aim of the wiki - is it si mply to provide students with extra practice activities for homework? Or do you want them to contribute e.g. writing? I sent my students an e-mail telling them I'd invited them to the wiki and encouraging them to look at it and try some of the activities. I had hoped that they would add comments/questions to the relevant discussion pages but so far none of them have. They send me e-mails instead!

It has to be easy for them to use - not all students have great IT skills.
