Hello Erik, I also have a "request" from my boss..To insert a WIKI onto our Learning Object repository. I guess what he's looking for is the possibility for collaboratively creating learning objects and depositing the finalised product into the LOR (http://vcampus.uom.ac.mu/lor/) after usual discussions around the LO.. Can that be done? I'd love to hear all your thoughts on this. I think its pretty brilliant actually. Sandy
