The idea of having students take notes collectively is rather new and this semester we shall be giving it a try.
A bit of local history. It turns out getting a locking mechanism that reduces the changes that two people will edit an entry at the same time and thus clobber one or the others changes is tricky. The first two attempts had problems. It appears the third attempt will work, but time will tell. (Ross 1/22/10 11:48PM)
