Outcomes (What can they do)
===Content (Points to be covered, linked to aims and outcomes; where will faculty/staff practice skills)===

Introduction (20 minutes)
1. First, we will explore several wikis to see how they are organized for PBL (project-based learning)

Food for thought: - How are the wikis organized (interface is everything)? - Are students sorted into groups and working on different pages? - What role is the instructor playing on the wiki? - Are there Web 2.0 tools integrated in the wiki?
