Dear Pierre-Carl
I've seen you reference my paper on AssessMediaWiki. Perhaps this other
reference could be of your interest:
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/225107564_Assessment_of_collaborati…
It basically introduces a previous quantitative approach that is
fully-operative. AssessMediaWiki tries to complement it.
Best regards,

Hello,
I have already discussed this work on the mailing list two months ago. You
may now find the preprint on Wikipapers:
http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/File:Wikipedia_E-Learning_Model_Preprin…
The typo might be somehow hazardous; this is my first scholar publication
in English and I still need to adapt to some unfamiliar formal norms.
The original data will be disclosed in a shortwhile, probably on Meta-Wiki.

Abstract :
This chapter gives a global appraisal of wiki-based pedagogic projects.
The growing influence of Wikipedia on students’ research practices have
actually made these a promising area for educational research.
A compilation of data published by 30 previous academic case studies
reveals several recurrent features. Wikis are not so easily adopted: most
wiki learning programs begin by a slow initial phase, marked by a general
unwillingness to adapt to an unusual environment. Some sociological
factors, like age and, less clearly, gender may contribute to increase this
initial reluctance.
In spite of their uneasiness, wikis proved precious tools on one major
aspect: they give a vivid representation of scientific communities.
Students get acquainted with some valuable epistemic practices and norms,
such as collaborative work and critical thought. While not improving
significantly the memorization of information, wikis clearly enhance
research abilities.
This literature review can assist teachers in determining whether the use
of wiki fits their pedagogic aims.
