Abstract
Lesson-preparing can be seen as the prerequisite that drives teachers teaching activities. However, many lesson-preparing platforms do little consideration on the real requirments of teaching. Although these systems support some aspects of lesson-preparing, they are still lack of some other important features of it, which can´t fulfill the requirements of the new curriculum reform in China. This paper argues that wiki is an effective tool for supporting collaborative lesson-preparing activities and presents the architecture of Eduwiki, which is useful for supporting Cand teamwork. Further, this system is used to implement collaborative activities in different disciplines by more than 100 teachers in primary and middle schools. The teachers´ evaluations have also proved that Eduwiki is effective in promoting teachers´ collaboration teamwork.
