A wiki is one way to share ideas and collaborate on projects. For example, the table below contains ideas from your posts about your experiences on online teaching and learning. **Please feel free to add your ideas to this table and also to other pages on this site.** (You need to accept the emailed invitation to you to become a member of this Wikispaces site. If you no longer have that email, contact Shem and he can re-send it).

What are the negatives or challenges of e-learning and what are the positives?

Do the learners understand what I'm saying? Hard to make the class more 'alive'

Other ways to share
Another way to organise our evolving ideas is by using a collaborative mindmap. Here's our class mindmap using Mindmeister. It's embedded in this wiki page.
