Just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to see your work (your in the Big sense) with wikis. I have been a wiki fan in since 2004, using them in my undergrad and graduate courses (all in french though so not sure you woul dbe interested). We do conceptual development work over time (user created content) which provides the course material for the following students. Some people in ireland call this "communal construtivism". Here is a glimpse if you want to know more (from an artilce I wrote in 2005-kinda dated now but THIS is not :-) Wikis enact knowledge building with and for others. The focus is on the community itself rather than on the individual learner (Holmes, Tangney, FitzGibbon, Savage, & Mehan, 2004). The implications of communal constructivism for the university context are of particular import. In the words of Holmes et al (2001), "What we argue for is a Communal constructivism where students and teachers are not simply engaged in developing their own information butactively involved in creating knowledge that will benefit other students. In this model students will not simply pass through a course like water through a sieve but instead leave their own imprint in the development of the course, their school or university, and ideally the discipline." (Fountain, 2005) http://www.profetic.org/dossiers/spip.php?rubrique110 So, I just wanted to share this kind of web 2.0 higher ed philosophy. All the best! Renée

Excellent job Jason!
Clearly presented, well organized, excellent examples.
The use of wiki's is more than I thought that they were.
Much food for thought!

Great stuff Jason! Much appreciated.
I wonder about moodle, though...I have my moodle set up with enrolment keys, but I think I could choose to keep it "open" to everybody. However, its wiki feature isn't as user-friendly.
Thanks for the presentation.
Go Huskies!

Thank you, Jason, for making this fantastic resource publicly available online. I've been researching about wikis for education for some years now, but I've found your material innovative and inspirational. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

I was excited to see your presentation! Your energy and passion is infectious. I have been trying to encourage some of our teachers that the wiki can be a powerful classroom tool. I had looked at wetpaint when it was first introduced, and I'm glad to see that they have made it more robust. This is a wonderful model to share! As a librarian, I have a couple of questions-- 1. Is this wiki linked to your card catalog or library services? 2. When I reviewed your resources, I didn't see any links to online subscription databases or other books? Have you found these sources not to be effective? 3. My third question refers to your economics expertise--We have recently subscribed to Oxford Scholarship Online, including the Economics component http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/oso/public/index.html Is this a useful source? This database offers free trials--or if you are interested in looking at it send me a note and I will share our user name and password. Again thanks. beth gourley beahgo@gmail.com

I have never thought about integrating Web 2.0 tools into teaching or other school related issues, this session has helped me in terms of advancing my thoughts. Thanks!
