More wiki examples and resources of note

Created by J. Ritchie Boyd (Montana State University) on September 24, 2008

In no particular order, shamelessly skimmed from a variety of sources:

Lisa Tripp's Design and Production of Media Resources course at Florida State University
Lisa uses both a blog and wiki for her course, and it is a great example of how both can be used in a complementary way to support your curriculum.
The wiki (Using MediaWiki):
http://wikispace.ci.fsu.edu/LIS5313/index.php/Main_Page
Her WordPress blog for the course:
http://lis5313.blogs.ci.fsu.edu/

Check out all the examples that Stewart Mader provides at the end of the interview, under the question "What resources are out there to facilitate the use of wikis in education?"

Over the Top? Try NOSO!

Created by J. Ritchie Boyd (Montana State University) on October 21, 2007

http://nosoproject.com/

From the website:
ABOUT NOSO
NOSO is a real-world platform for temporary disengagement from social networking environments. The NOSO experience offers a unique opportunity to create NO Connections by scheduling NO Events with other NO Friends.

These “NO” events, called NOSOs, take place in designated cafes, parks, libraries, bookstores, and other public spaces. Participants “whose identities remain unknown to one another“ agree to arrive at an assigned time and remain alone, quiet and un-connected, while at the same time knowing that another “Friend” is present in the space.

NOSOs are scheduled by users through the NOSO website. They last for a duration of 1 - 30 minutes, after which participants disperse and return to their regular activities.
