Time for action – adding a wiki

1. Choose the topic you want to add your new wiki to, click on Add an activity... and select Wiki from the list.

2. The name of my new wiki is going to be "Student Diary". Enter a name for your wiki.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and press the Save and return to course button. You'll see your new wiki listed on the course front page:
