The Java Wiki Integrated Development Environment (javawide) is an innovative environment that promotes active learning and collaboration in programming courses. This paper surveys how javawide's features have been used to promote active and collaborative learning in both traditional and distance education (synchronous) in four different environments: high school, summer enrichment courses, and at two- and four-year colleges. The authors describe the context of each teaching and learning environment and the parts of javawide that are particularly well suited in each context. After discussing the active learning and collaboration techniques employed, student responses to the experience are summarized. This collection of case studies illustrates how the concurrent editing, shared environment awareness and other features of javawide can be used to promote active learning and collaboration within a heterogeneous set of teaching and learning environments.
