Talking of Wiki's how about a Kiwi Wiki ?

My NZ friend Richard Elliott sent this link only this morning!
"Alan Levine from the Maricopa Community Colleges Group in Phoenix
Arizona is currently a visiting educator at Unitec.

Alan has covered Wikis (how about a kiwiki?) e-portfolios ,
learning objects, the web as a learning tool and hybrid courses so far.
The site will grow as the workshops are completed."

Content, Not Containers

My colleague here at Charles Darwin University, Anthony mentioned this report from OCLC, 2004 Information Trends: Content, Not Containers.
Content,Not Containers

Amongst other things its discussing the'growing phenomenon of content being created, published and shared outside the traditional structure of the library.' It contains a very useful glossary. I now know what a 'wiki" is!!!!
Take a look at the report
