Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Web 2.0 technology and especially Wikis could be the appropriate environment for students and teachers to use for educational project management. The conditions under which both teachers and students would be more easily motivated to adopt the use of Wikis were also detected in the case of the Greek educational system. This research aimed at recording limitations or certain suggestions that teachers or students noted and also if there was a way to overcome possible disadvantages. The fact that this study presents specific findings from the combination of interviews of both students and teachers makes it interesting and significant, since it examines the expectations and the possible speculations of both sides.

Summary
For the last two decades, the technological evolution of Information Systems (IS) has brought about enormous changes to many fields of our lives. Web 2.0 technologies have offered unexpected opportunities for educational activities, since teachers and students could interact through them, using social networking applications such as Wikis, Blogs, Podcasts and RSS (BitsaniPetrou, 2015; Duffy & Bruns, 2006). These Web 2.0 technologies have become a useful tool for educational project management, as they give the space for collaboration and increased participation (Liao et al, 2015). Due to this group structure that follows the informal bounds, the sharing of knowledge and the common goal, we can talk about “communities of practice”, CoP (Wenger & Snyder, 2000)
