Hi Maria Yes, my students are authoring learning materials - mostly as collaborative research projects http://www.wikieducator.org/DeAnza_College/CIS2/Fall_2008 http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Vtaylor/CIS2_Summer_2008
I would very much like to have access to some tools that would allow them to build out materials around hubs in a way that isn't linear wiki pages, but rather some more complex network / hub representation. The idea being that these could be combined with the work of others. Then anyone interested in the topic would be guided around the learning space by these connections. Another use would be to enter the space with a specific link, then be able to see the connections and follow paths that went off from there. The general purpose Google search can do this sort of. If there is a link to a specific site in a page, you could search for other pages that contained that link. However, it doesn't address the idea that students are finding these paths as they learn and are the best source of this information. Capturing this information and then leveraging that in combination with many students' paths is important and interesting. Wishing you the best for 2009 ..Valerie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
