hi we use diigo in our masters in photojournalism and documentary photography as a dynamic way of sharing links etc, and for group collaborative research projects where we set up a tag for the project and then get the class to add links, then divide the material up between the class and get each studnet to read x no of articles and then write a summary of each, then share that with the rest of the class, so very quickly the whole group get a goods sense of the research out there on the web
this is mike wesch's approach to purpose driven research, where he uses a whole variety of social learnign tools to co research with his class, see the links here for more on his social anthropology course at kansas http://www.diigo.com/user/mapjdlinks/wesch

Students research the concepts and write them up themselves. If anyone else is doing this, or wants to, let's start a new group.
