Dial M for Learning: mLearning ideas

An interesting story in the New York Times abut editorial control at Wikipedia. The volunteer administrators now have the authority to delete unsuitable articles and protect those that are vulnerable to vandalism.

According to the  New York Times: Wikipedia is not the experiment in freewheeling collective creativity it might seem to be, because maintaining so much openness inevitably involves some tradeoffs.

Personally I can understand that these control measures would need to be in place or we’d have anarchy

Of interest is how ‘open’ a wiki can be and and how does this impact on our use of wikis in mLearning? I’d be interested to hear about your experiences of using wikis in learning programs

PS: From the New York Times article I followed a link that took me to:
Congresspedia: a collaboratively written “citizens’ encyclopedia on Congress,” designed to shine more light on the workings of the U.S. Congress.

I’ll leave it with you…..
