In thinking how to combine some of the new things I've been picking up from this class and using a wiki post as a final project, I'm toying with the idea of a collaborative research project-which is exactly what a wiki consists of anyway-but seeing how it works out within a class structure of 20-25 students, with everyone contributing, and for the most part, agreeing on the content. I'm still just playing around, but I found this wiki entry about educational templates, exercises, and previous projects that have been done on similar issues.
In order to get to this level of agreement among the class, I would have them work out ideas concerning the topic on their blog, and through the use of their RSS readers, be able to pull out articles of use, and post about key ones, synthesising and working out their research along the way. The other students would then read and comment about what others were saying, and the hope is they would collectively work toward a somewhat unified understanding and agreement of what the final research project-the wiki-would look like.

Thank you for the link. I will be able to use it as well.
This is a cool page -- and the great thing is that once you have created your university or school wiki experiment, you can put a comment up about it on this page.
I put the link onto our course syllabus.
