Highered BlogCon Presentation – The Science of Spectroscopy: Collaborative curriculum development using a wiki

My presentation for the Highered BlogCon is available today in Flash or Quicktime. As The Science of Spectroscopy, a well-known educational web site, has grown in popularity, we needed an efficient way to include the growing number of suggestions and additons coming from our users. Editing a static website based on emailed feedback was inefficient as we had to balance it with competing demands on our time. The website was converted into a wiki, so that the growing number of readers can now become writers and collaboratively build a richer and more useful tool.
