Using the wiki is really challenging me. In good ways. There was an awful lot that I needed to learn to get to this point. I’ve already started to think of my next grant to further the ideas. One thing I haven’t done (or at least not done well) is document the requirements. I can really only document how to do it using TikiWiki in this project, as that’s the one that has been implemented as uni. But the ideas of how to do things really needs to be put down.

I actually have another two blogs now. In the wiki. One of them is all about my reflections on teaching and the mistakes I’m making. Some of that documentation is occuring there, but it needs to be linked to the literature (of which I’m not reading enough … I’m spending too much time playing with the wiki). The other blog is a how to. This will also inform the use of wikis, particularly within the context of our courses.

The students have commented to other people (who have passed on the comments) that it’s good to be doing something so different. Either the course is reallyinnovative or the rest of the courses are … dare I say, boring?
