Is anyone at the m-learning conference next week? Often a F2F contact is good for linking up with people.
By the way: did you know Wayne is running a 'course' on using WikiEducator that started yesterday very early morning Aussie time? Lots and lots signed up. http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_tutorial/What_is_a_wiki I originally thought the WE pages were great at http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_tutorial Now I think there are problems in learning to USE wikis (Even the new liquid threads have a prominent edit button that does not work), think **about** wikis, and think about open learning. I'm not convinced we have a nice enough and functional 'place' on the wiki (ie in a wiki environment) to talk about the collaborative work we are doing. I agree with you Randy, mini-collaborative project. But one hour may be a bit short.
