Abstract
The present paper reflects on a project that investigated the use of an alternative presentation form of a wiki: a timeline wiki. The timeline wiki presents relations and/or linking within the learning content more saliently, possibly reducing the amount of cognitive load, while providing the learner with an overview of the learning content. The curriculum was formed around a CLIL approach through an SFL lens. A learning attitude survey was employed to gather student perceptions on the usability, effectiveness, and satisfaction with the tool. The results suggest that this alternative presentation mode enhanced learner autonomy.
