Virtual collaborative learning is gaining in popularity in Open & Distance Learning (ODL) environment over the last decade. Findings from preliminary study conducted showed that collaborative learning activities enhance student satisfaction and achieve course learning outcomes. Wiki is widely promoted as virtual collaborative tool and has been integrated into several learning management systems. However, there are limited studies on the effectiveness of moodle-wikis for virtual collaborative learning. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of moodle-wiki in terms of students’ perception and students’ performance. The collected data was further analyzed and evaluated. The statistical results demonstrated that students have positive perception towards moodle-wiki and the collaborative tool does enhance student’s learning performance. This study is useful for instructors and course designers as a guideline to investigate students’ perception and evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative tool.
