I agree that in a controlled setting where students are being taught how to use wikicode that it can produce a more polished output. But I'm not talking about those few people we can reach as students; I'm talking about educators coming in "off the street", who by and large will find wikicode such a high barrier to participation that they will dismiss us as a project meant only for techies. -=Steve=- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
