I know I’m not offically a part of the CLT team, but I figured I had something interesting to share! The Economics Wiki, one of the pilot projects for this year’s EC102 course has begun well. There seems to be a reasonable amount of self-motivation among students – in the voluntary registration process, we have had 50% of the registered student population sign up within the first six days of the form going live, far higher than had been expected.

The weekly discussion that I am running on parts of the coursework has also been going well – I have had five or six people writing on the Wiki and slowly a genuine “discussion” seems to be emerging. Click here to see the page.

If you guys are interested, sign up for a Wiki account, and help edit / watch the pages to see how things unravel this year.

The registration form is at http://econwiki2.lse.ac.uk/Wikireg2005/form1.html
