Unfortunately, I think you lose a lot of "wikiness" when you do that. The “subdivide and conquer” strategy came up in our discussion.

I'd think you'd have to approach this pretty much like any group work and subdivide the class--this group works on the landforms page, etc. If everyone is working on everything, I'd think assessment would be pretty much impossible. Wikis may end up being more beneficial in making the work more authentic by giving it more life outside and beyond the class _after_ the initial work has been done in a relatively traditional way.
