We've hosted three all-day drop-in sessions for faculty and staff this month and had some very interesting discussions. One of the many interesting things that came out of the conversations was the increase in the use of wiki's in courses. There were some that had set up their own wiki's and others who were investigating it. Those that had found wiki's useful told us that the ability for a group of students to develop a piece of work collaboratively was very beneficial. The great thing about wiki's is that instead of students sharing a word document which involves attaching the latest version to an email, sending it off, having someone download the attachment, work on it, upload it again ... and so on -- wiki's allow the composition of a document in one spot. Wiki's are on our RFI and in our surveys. It will be interesting to see these results in the surveys.
