Wiki Solution Manuals.

Darren lights upon another great idea with the creation of wiki problem solving sites for his kids (and Clarence has picked up the ball as well.) As he puts it, his students are creating the textbook in their blogs, and now they can create supporting resources in the wiki.

I do not know if there is a limit on the number of participants.

Dept. of Open-Mindedness

I've added Brent Schlenker's weblog to my subscription list. He's all about "Learning 2.0". I'm not sure I agree with everything he says. Maybe I'll learn something.
