Facilitating Online Communities is a model course in many respects --- How do you see this slotting into the NextWave concept?
I thought maybe we could set up a panel of people to talk about wiki communities... Wikieducator rep, Wikiversity rep, Wikipedia rep, Wikimedia Foundation rep, Wikispaces rep.. and I would facilitate a discussion about how communities are unique in wikis... Can you help my get panel members together? This would be a webconference of course.
