Dear all,

Thanks for the replies (Cormac, Teemu, Gerald) regarding this research project. I think there are definitely links with the other research areas mentioned (e.g. Education_and_collaboration and Developing_Wikiversity_through_action_research) and I look forward to interacting with other participants.

I have (hopefully properly) registered and created a research page: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Elearning_in_open_source_education and will add links between pages.

I have so far really focused on testing the concept of 'open source education' more than exploring the details and technologies involved, but there are good complements here with research with a more specific or practical focus. For example, my research seems to be confirming that wiki technology is uniquely aligned with collaborative learning approaches. There are also many related ideas and phenomena e.g. OERs.

I will add further results, comments and details about the planned focus group in due course.

All the best, BrentC
