Abstract

New information and communication technologies have allowed the production of innovations in the teaching-learning process in higher learning. The aim of this intervention study in the course on community teaching at the Botucatu School of Medicine (FMB-Unesp) is to explore such possibilities through participation by students, faculty, and community members. A Wiki page was developed for this purpose, with information produced by the students on a neighborhood in the city of Botucatu, aimed at creating a setting for exchange, interaction, cooperation, and shared production of knowledge among these actors. A group of young people in this community received training on the use of Wiki, which allowed them to upload new information on the neighborhood on the page. The analysis shows that the text produced by these youth highlights several significant elements from their daily reality. The presence of a professor/tutor in the community was essential to the project's success. The results point to the feasibility and potential of Wiki as a collective intelligence tool, allowing exchange of knowledge between students and the community, valuing all forms of knowledge and the expression of unique characteristics.
