A tale of online collaboration

In the quest to find out more about connectivism, networked learning and enriching online collaboration I landed at Wikieducator some months ago. Actually I was dragged in by a Chinese e-friend from a G-group and simply couldn't resist such a delightful project involving educators from all over the world to (among others) provide access and have a free curriculum by 2015. Rather than wiki editing, the main asset for me is the opportunity for intercultural exchange, sharing and the friends along the way. With a lecturer from India I've had the most wonderful discussion (wiki, email, G-groups) re concepts of culture and citizenship which on my side have led to an autoethnography exercise in text, wiki, blog and comic book formats for PhD research and workshops on intercultural competence; lesson plans and wiki on his, as far as I know. For learning may be envisaged as an interactive performance. Just a small anecdote, but hardly feasible offline.
