Please note that I'm trying to go beyond merely providing Web versions of paper handouts. It is exceptionally difficult to figure out how to build technology into the learning process, and most existing practices far very short of what I'd like to achieve. Out of all the available tools, Tiki provides the best platform for developing imaginative new approaches; it's so easy to contribute content and then look at it from varying angles (Wiki pages, forums, blogs, messages, articles, etc.) I've been trying to exploit this in fresh, new ways. See the following for an example.
In this application enables me to eliminate the dreaded 750-word paper assignment, in which students try to "psych out" the professor (and generally write dreadful papers). Instead, they write for their classmates, and the results are built into the larger dialogue and debate that occurs in the classroom. My students LOVE this application — and so do I.
Here's how it works.
