Using wikis for course management system

After attending a seminar by Mark Frydenberg from Bentley College on Web 2.0 tools for a computer literacy course at the post-secondary level, I began using a wiki to host my course materials, syllabus, announcements, handouts, etc. Refer the the article from the MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching, Vol. 4, No. 2, June 2008, for more information:http://jolt.merlot.org/vol4no2/frydenberg0608.htmSee More
