• Overall I learned some key points that I have not considered about Wiki's in general. You are right about the editing ... we all know these things, but need to practice; it is not hard to do.

• It is not hard to see where LMS' may be pushed out or at least about by opensource wikis. We are switching (switched actually) from BB to Angel and I find little to like about either. Too many hoops, too little control.

• Is it possible in WISIQ to show your active desktop? It would have helped me to see the active typing that you were doing there instead of in the chat bar.

• Does WISIQ allow the formation of teams? We have had some success in Elluminate dividing into teams of power-users mixed with non-power-users and giving them time to break out and work on a given task. The whole 'getting registered' task may be an example of where this might work?

• I am positive on the whole class. Having put things like this together before I can appreciate the logistics.

Thank You!

Thank you for the feedback. Team formation is an excellent idea, Jeff. I have done it in a virtual classroom before and it works really well. WiZiQ is in its final stages in developing a web sharing feature. It was still unstable, yesterday, so I couldn't use it. --Nellie Deutsch 21:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
