does anyone have any guidance/resources on how to most effectively use a blog or wiki to compliment a college level course. Any suggestions? Anyone you know who is particularly effective at using this to enhance a course.
e.g., I am using blogs in a master's level course as a metacognitive journaling activity (http://etap687.edublogs.org), but am very nterested in what other's are doing and how, and what is known about best practices, research, etc.
any info would be fab.
thanks.

We begin a new semester today and this will be the first time that I'll be using a wiki with one of my classes. It is a special topics seminar for graduate students. My intent is to provide them with the experience of building and participating in their own PLC, so they we'll play a key role in creating much of the course content (which will be housed on the wiki). You can learn more and even join us in this adventure at http://clifmims.wetpaint.com/page/Teaching+and+Learning+with+Web+2.0.

I'd also suggest looking through the many wikis linked from http://clifmims.wetpaint.com/page/Course+Topics. There are many teachers doing some good things listed on this page.
