Tool Box- Wikis
This tool is very useful for research. A lot of students struggle doing research and finding appropriate articles can be a challenge. Having each student find one article on a certain topic eliminates the stress that some people may have during the course. This also is a better tool than having people do a general search where many links can appear and it can be very intimidating for some people. The wiki idea is a great tool to establish an area where people can find useful links and a short summary of what they can find within the article.

I surprised you didn't mention as a drawback the ability for other students to change your work? This is a significant issue - at least most wikis have a history function where you can check to see who did what.
