Used wikispaces while doing the Diploma TAA course. I found it easy to use and communicate ideas/share information with the other students. The outline of the elearning project, including evaluations were put onto the space. Most of my project was in the form of links to more detailed information which became evidence towards the Diploma. As a student, I enjoyed doing it this way
Have not actually set up a wikispace but can see a lot of potential and have had a look at several sites of how it could be used in education. The one I particularly liked is an invitation to science teachers for input into their specialty areas. There are a number of categories such as astronomy, anatomy, biology, etc. and some wonderful links and resources. Check it out on:
thanks for sharing the link veracity - there's a lot of potential for social learning in this sort of space, even if you're just collecting and classifying links.
