This presentation reports on an experiment incorporating a wiki into a senior seminar in economics. The wiki enabled creation of a parallel universe outside the classroom, where students had as much power to define the universe as the instructor. The freedom provided by the wiki manifested itself in pedagogically interesting ways.
