Actually, alot of our research about Swikis has been about figuring
out when they don't work, why they work when they do, and what
they're good for. We have several papers at
http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/personal.122 on these subjects, and
a couple others that I need to post yet (from ICLS2000, and some new
journal articles). For example, we're exploring what the ebb and
flow of "ThreadMode" is when it works (e.g., does everyone have to
post more than once for ThreadMode to work? Anyone?), what are the
problems of schools that Swikis might be good for (e.g. trying to
deal with curricular integration), and what happens when you try to
use it for expert review of student work.
