That Canadian Factor- Maricopans are Asking About Wikis and RSS (April 6, 2005 04:58 PM)
Okay, maybe we've gushed a bit already, but something has happened here in our system. I think it is the Canadian aura, but after Brian Lamb's Dialogue Day with us last week, people are now popping out of the ground like prairie dogs, and seeing a beautiful wheat filled plain... «more»

Moving UseMod Wikis Lock, Stock, and Barrel (March 29, 2005 03:42 PM)
You can have your wiki and move it too. Several times this past year (and well this past week) I have had reason to move an entire UseMod wiki to another server. It is easy and tricky at the same time, and I think I have it all figured out... «more»

Just a Wiki? Not! Check Out Jotspot (March 11, 2005 06:43 AM)
Interested in wikis, but turned off by the geeky interface, the technical set up hurdle, or the fear of spam? You've got company. But I just quickly scanned Jotspot, billed as "the application wiki". From what I can scan, it is a second generation wiki offering a WYSIWIG editing interface... «more»

Where the Wiki Things Are (December 17, 2004 03:45 PM)
We've just put online our Fall 2004 issue of our office's publication, the mcli Forum, and am finally glad I can share with you the featured technology interview I did with Brian Lamb, perhaps not so cleverly titled as "Where the Wiki Things Are". How do you help people make... «more»

The Wiki Bites Back (December 1, 2004 05:19 PM)
Another open system bites the dust. Well, maybe I am caving in a bit to the wiki url spammers but as it is the sites we set up are completely useless wikis as they pile up with pages of links to URLs with names so horrific I get a slimy... «more»

The Big New Zealand Finale: "Rip. Mix. Learn." (November 17, 2004 12:58 PM)
Today is my last day in a little slice of green heaven known as New Zealand where I have been visiting and giving workshops at several institutions in the Auckland area (see the CogDog's upside down inverted cousin, the CogDog(kiwi)Blog). Among other bits, I've been stirring up the interest in... «more»

Hey! Ease up on the Wiki Clicks! (November 10, 2004 03:14 AM)
I might have been a bit premature to share the wiki links for my New Zealand workshops. Apparently the server here got rather overwhelmed with traffic, because it was pretty much unusuable during my workshops down south at Manukau Institute of Technology. At 10:00 am I was pretty much up... «more»

The Kiwi Workshop Brigade (November 9, 2004 04:24 AM)
I'm about halfway through my three week visit to Auckland New Zealand for an ambitious series of workshops at several schools here, and am bouncing between my regular CogDogBlog and its flipped over variant here CogDog(kiwi)Blog as well as two (or more) flickr sites. I may be losing track of... «more»

A sadly mangled, downtrodden, graffiti encrusted wiki (November 5, 2004 09:11 PM)
Pity the poor Teaching Wiki. Buried in s-p-a-m. Beyond the vast WIkiPedia with legions of rabid followers, most little wikis are doomed. Doomed. Doooooomed. Yours may be next.... «more»

Rip. Mix. Feed. Objects? EDUCAUSE 2004 Seminar (October 20, 2004 12:07 AM)
Today, Brian Lamb and I pulled of another rollercoaster wild ride presentation, one that more or less emerged and arose from the primordial soup of our minds 2 weeks ago, The long scrolling title for today's pre-conference Seminar was "Decentralization of Learning Resources: Syndicating Learning Objects Using RSS, Trackback, and Related... «more»

Slapping the Wiki Around (October 17, 2004 09:50 PM)
Over at Kairosnews, blacklily8 has some strong words about the new found obsession with wikis: Wikis are one of those internet phenomena that are confusing, intruiging, powerful, and often misunderstood. Many users and even some programmers of wiki software have missed the point completely, and from what I've observed in... «more»

A Message From a Wiki Spammer (October 7, 2004 09:38 AM)
Sigh. It is no wonder no work is going on this morning. Our Asian wikis spammers returned, this time not only spamming our pages, but creating their own... and this time leaving a veiled threat of a message: Please do not delete. I send this message only one time, in... «more»

Interview by iChat (October 3, 2004 08:13 PM)
My editor was pressuring me. I had stalled on my next technology article for the Fall 2004 issue of our publication, the mcli Forum. I had waited too long to do interviews with some faculty (there are some coo, things some folks are doing with teaching GPS... maybe in the... «more»

At Least Someone is Using the Wikis (bad news, they are spammers) (September 26, 2004 09:29 AM)
We've got some regular visitors to some of our Ocotillo wikis, too bad they are not contributing to our collaborative space, unless you think that inserting about 150 URLs for Asian web sites has something to do with Learning Objects. They hit the same pages, and in fact are wiki... «more»

Some readers may have followed our mention new efforts this year with our 'Ocotillo' faculty-driven technology initiatives, now in its 18th year of existence.

WikiSpam is Making me Grrrrrrrrr (September 13, 2004 10:40 PM)
Attention everyone in IP 221.*.*.* and 60.*.*.* - you have been banned from our Ocotillo wikis. Sorry if you are accidently in that group, but place the blame on 221.198.73.159, 60.25.119.199, 221.196.57.131 and who has been repeatedly inserting into our wikis a mangle of URLs to strange Asian URLs, and... «more»

Blogs and Wikis: Two Outstanding EDUCAUSE Review Articles (August 28, 2004 10:31 PM)
Wow. That's about all, i can comment. Wow. The newest EDCAUSE Review has not one, but two top notch articles on things near and dear to the CogDog, blogs and wikis. These are so good I am ready to print them, something I almost never do (at least to stop... «more»

A Time to Blog, A Time to Wiki, A Time to… (August 21, 2004 11:30 PM)
