Hi Lane, Fiona, and Jackie,

Here's our wiki for considering reading/discussion materials for the "collaboration" theme. I created pages on the left for articles/links and any video clips that might be useful.

Article files can be uploaded using the edit function...

Feel free to make additions and changes as you like. All changes are reversible so you can't break anything. Darren

 * IDEA:** I thought I would throw an idea out there. My students are currently doing what we are doing with this wiki, and the thought occurred to me that maybe this is what we should have the fellows do during the SI. Why not have them work in small groups and research the rewards/challenges of collaboration, put their findings on a collaborative wiki, and then create a presentation on what they find? My students had to create videos utlilizing text, images, videos, and music on their topic. I don't see why that couldn't be an option in this case. Windows Movie Maker is very user-friendly. It would certainly break the ice and give the participants a taste of the role technology can play in collaboration. Anyway, just a thought. What do you think?

This sounds great to me...we've been talking about the Technology aspect of the SI and this could be a good way to get them experiencing something that has a lot of potential use... Darren
