How Are Wikis Really Being Used in the K-12 Classroom?
Interesting research that I would like to see the details on. I would say that the conclusion falls in line with what I have seen in many districts. We've worked hard in ours, but the collaborative aspects definitely are not as popular as 1) the teacher using it to share links, lesson plans, resources, or homework, or 2) the students using it to make pages or post files that are rarely the result of much collaboration. We have three (draft) resources designed to get at that (slowly):

Affordances & Constraints Exercise

App Taskonomy (we modify it for wiki uses instead of apps)

It has been and will continue to be a long, slow road ...
