importance of formative assessment in learning is explained inthe context of educational research. “Formative assessments—ongoing assessmentsdesigned to make students’ thinking visible to both teachers and students—are essential.And these assessments should provide students with opportunities to revise and improvetheir thinking.” 17 The use of a PRS system provides a mechanism for instructors inlarge classes to conduct formative assessments during each class and be able to modifythe content in response to the assessment results.As polling technologies have been used in education, the body of research indicates thatthe use of the technology has the ability to improve student engagement in class, providefeedback about learning and improve student

collaborative learning and knowledge creation inconstruction education. The purpose of this paper is to present the use of wikis in a ConstructionManagement (CM) course as a case study. Knowledge Management System (KMS) for theconstruction and engineering industries is a new and exciting area of study, and wikis are a formof electronic KMS. In the last few years there have been studies done on the use of KMS as itrelates to a construction or engineering company’s internal tacit knowledge capture,collaboration, and retention. But little has been researched in the use of these technologies in theeducation sector. If the construction industry is using these types of technologies as a part ofnormal operations, then construction academic programs should
