Communication of scientific results is a key component of all laboratory courses.  The transition of students to upper division courses and subsequently to becoming practicing chemists drives a need for improved communications skills.  Many students do not see traditional lab reports as communications of their findings but rather as an assignment. Implementation of a wiki communication medium between peers has allowed students to see the value of sharing their results in a physical chemistry laboratory where the students rotate through the different experiments each week.
