Hello Marianne, all, 
I experimented with wikis on my classroom Moodle site (CMS), but with lots
of difficulties -- not sure if they were Moodle-related or wiki related --
but NOT worth the aggravation for the three classes I tried with --
students found it burdensome, extremely frustrating, and NOT fun... so it
was a no-brainer decision on my part to 'table' them for another day -- I
remain intrigued by the idea, and LOVE the potential for writing
instruction mentoring -- but am still unconvinced of their effectiveness at
present -- David Rosen's postings and encouragements have me quite willing
to devote some effort to them again with this fall's classes.
