Hi David, Don't worry -- you'll be learning new tricks for the benefit of the open education movement :-)
The advantage with WYSIWYG editing is that workshop facilitators will be able to focus on the more important aspects associated with pedagogy and strategies for collaborative editing. I think that RTE will remove a major barrier to using wikis for newbies and lower the learning curve thus giving facilitators more time to focus on the more important components of collaborative authoring etc. Given the time WE will save in teaching basic wiki editing -- what additional learning outcomes should we incorporate into a L4C workshop? This will help us determine gaps for future tutorial development.
