At first look, wikis and blogs seem to be very similar, however how I plan to use them are different. I have full control over the blogs I set up in school. I can read posts and delete any that I feel are not on topic. I can control where the conversation is going by setting up questions for the students to answer. Wikis, on the other hand, are an ever changing item. I can start the topic but with every student being able to post and edit, it could end up going in lots of directions.
I plan on using blogs to get feedback and explainations on how things work. THe wiki I see more use for discussing homework problems or creating an online notebook so that students can post what they feel is the important information in each chapter/section of the book.

So it looks like Wiki can be used as a study guide. for your students. However they both can enhance student learning.
