Introduction

This Wiki is now almost 2 years old and links appear in other's webpages. This is a first quick attempt to identify some traces about edutechwiki. Need to add things ... - Daniel K. Schneider 15:42, 8 December 2007 (MET).

There are many more links of course, according to Google about 2000 links for 146 selected pages (you can't get more statistics). Most links are either junk pages (e.g. random crap put together by indexing engines living off google ads) or links in sideboxes (e.g. blog rolls) that show up multiple times. As of dec 2007, there are probably about 1000 meaningful links, but that's a real rough guess.

Popularity

On links managers

• Dec 2007: On del.icio.us the main page was saved by 164 people as compared to Wikipedia (about 40'000).

Search hits

On december 8 2007, Google Webmaster Tools shows the following stats for the top search and click trough traffic.

• As you can see, several pages make it to Google's top 20 (and this table is not complete, if I understand right, Google only keeps statistics for the top most volumes, i.e. lesser used pages also may be found in top tens of google.). Topics searched are both conceptual and technical, i.e. the way I like to think ;)
• Madeline Hunter gets 23% of the traffic and is in the top 8, quite amazing for such a poor page. This query shows, however, that there is a great interest (probably from teachers) in simple and efficient direct instruction models.
• It's interesting to see that people from different places look at different things. These statistics are of course not totally reliable since some people (e.g. me) choose to use google.com instead of google.ch or whatever.
• A good thing is that people mostly find relevant things for them.
• Some of our more recent Flash pages became popular and that is a bit scarry. It means that there are not enough open document tutorials on Flash and also that I will have to watch out for server overload and spammers. Multimedia technology indeed is one of the most difficult topic to search on the web. There is an amazing amount of crap pages for simple topics such as clipart
• Note: Top query stats are different for the french version (no surprise, since its contents are not the same).

Pages and websites

Links in webpages are an indicator that a website becomes somewhat of a serious resource. Nowadays, casual users just google and maybe use private bookmarks or link managers.

Some pages

• Mohamed Amine Chatti's ongoing research on Technology Enhanced Learning
• Flow
• Educational Wikis (Wikiversity)
• Instructional Design Models (Martin Ryder).
• ICT Research Summary.

Some resource pages

• Widget (Website of Marielle Lange, one of our top contributors).

There are more links. Also, since the (regretful) emergence of e-learning platforms in higher education, one can't see most class syllabi anymore ...

About learning experiences using this wiki

For the moment (dec 2007) only two classes have been using this wiki for writing.

Sarah Guth's class

• Guth, Sarah (2007). Wikis in Education: Is Public Better?, WikiSym' 07 October 21-23, 2007, Montréal, Québec, Canada. PDF

• Sarah Guth (2007). Wikis in Education: Public, Semi-Public, or Private - Which Is Best?, Online Educa Berlin News Portal, 13th International Conference on Technology Supported Learning and Tutoring. - “From an affective point of view, students generally expressed a preference for the more protected environment of the semi-public wiki. However, not only did their performance improve on the public one, but they, too, came to understand the benefits of a large user-base and writing for a worldwide community of users. One student saw writing on the semi-public wiki as good preparation for EduTech: "It made me think of the driving lessons one takes before getting a driving license"”.

Student views (some)

• Buzz, Erica (2007). EduTech Wiki, The Blogsphere and I (blog). “[...] contributing to EduTech Wiki is a good way to make students more responsible and aware of what they are writing. Here anyone can access the pages and contribute to them, while last semester this didn't happen. Writing for a public audience helps us improving our languages, our style and- as in this case- our content (in the sense that maybe we are more careful in looking for sources, links, information and in deciding which of them are more reliable than the other ones).”
