I'm just learning about this, but it's a space where groups build the knowledge base together while pulling in information that is already out there. I guess it's very popular in certain (content) areas right now. For starters, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page scroll to Browse Wikipedia by topic Click Education under Applied Arts and Sciences and see what there is there. I realize I'm not quite answering Jackie's questions - particularly since I'm not aware of any ABE stuff happening on wiki, but it could be an alternate venue to explore: some of the most valuable PD for me has been in face-to-face (formal and informal) conversations with others, and that is exactly what happens in wiki - it's a space to share. And given how quickly this venue is taking off, I guess I would note that it appears to be a successful way for some to do that sharing. One thing is for certain: it is needs-based and it is timely. Perhaps it might fit nicely together with more structured on-line experiences. Just a thought.... marie cora >From: jataylor <jataylor@utk.edu> >Reply-To: nifl-aalpd@nifl.gov >To: Multiple recipients of list <nifl-aalpd@literacy.nifl.gov> >Subject: [NIFL-AALPD:1165] Online professional development >Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 10:40:19 -0500 (EST) > >Hi Everyone, >It is my understanding that more of us are moving to online venues for >professional development needs.
