JeffNelson is into computers and education. Since 2000, he has been using, improving and promoting wiki as a tool for learning, teaching and collaboration. --JohnDeBruyn (June 16, 2002)

See WikiEducationalUses for more about wiki as a tool for learning, teaching and collaboration online.

I'm pretty proud of this semester's project--a departmental site using Pwiki. http://www.ugruenglish.uaeu.ac.ae

My colleagues who have participated in the site project are sold on Wikis now. The ease of collaboration is a huge benefit.

In the future, I want to add educational plugins to the wiki--maybe things like classroom scheduling, interfaces to a student records database, student progress recording... etc.

Anyone who's interested in developing a free computing curriculum online, please check out my wiki at http://itp.innoved.org/wiki/freecourse. I've recently added student objectives for each major section of the course, and would appreciate any feedback. Best regards, Jeff Nelson jtnelson@emirates.net.ae | http://itp.innoved.org
