Some people on this list may be interested in the emerging area of Learning
Analytics - trace data (from click-streams, to eye tracking, to chat logs,
etc.) gathered for the support of learning. I've written a couple of posts
on how mediawiki (and Wikipedia) might relate to this topic, e.g.:

And gave a talk at the WikiMedia UK Conference/AGM on that and mediawiki for
OER:

There are slides with audio embedded in that post, but if you'd prefer to

I'd certainly welcome comments and ideas, and I'm happy to talk further to
anyone who's interested in the area.
Cheers!
