Co-Authoring Wiki System ...
Ok, CAWS! (the wiki-like co-authoring system, not the other one) -- it's been 11 years since the initial study, and MIT Lab folks have been puttering around some since.
https://core.ac.uk/display/1507391
Anyone know about a usable CAWS interface / platform / app in 2018? Would be perfect for our research team.. other wiki-like alternatives for co-authored welcomed, please include links so we can check them out!
This paper is HUGE so please only read the abstract from around p21 http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/19018/1/Al-Ashaikh%2C%20Reem%28Redacted%29.pdf
"Collaborative learning is known as an effective learning method and various different kindsof technologies have been developed to support and facilitate collaborative learning. Many ofthese technologies are used to support the functional activities of a group of learners byenabling students to communicate, share documents and materials, track the work of thegroup, or distribute and allocate tasks."
Many thanks,Scot

Check out Miraheze Mediawiki -
Miraheze now has a new blog for announcing technical developements and other Miraheze-related news! Check out https://t.co/N1McrlNaHn— Miraheze (@miraheze) September 15, 2018
https://twitter.com/miraheze/status/1040848571233431552 - which is the front end I.T. for Wikipedia, and last time I heard about 3,000 other wikis were using it.
It's free, I think, and it can connect with Wikidata / Wikibase structured knowledge database as its "back end" - in ~300 languages.
I touch on both Miraheze Mediawiki and Wikidata's Wikicite here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/09/sarcodes-engineered-ai-still-matters.html.
I'm also an appreciator of Google classroom for collaborative learning - as well as the many group video conference technologies out there.
And the "Threads" ' software in the HarvardX / edX / JuryX course is designed around collaborative learning in the helpful edX platform with other possible related technologies.
And I may be facilitating ScratchEd drag and drop programming language MeetUps at Stanford in the future. And Scratch is also great for collaborative coding.
Wikia wiki could be an option as well.
Lastly the conference method of teaching and learning, engaged in at Reed, is very much collaborative learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning (this is also Miraheze Mediwiki) - with some similarities to seminars and the Socratic method.
Reem, author of the paper, just started an interesting thread in the Wikimedia Libraries' email list. I didn't realize he was in London.
Thanks for the paper and question,
Scott

Thanks, Scot, as well for your email.
In some ways collaborative learning is about people talking together - dialogue with specific questions (eg what is 'citizenship' in ancient Greece re Reed College's conference method in Hum 110, or this Socratic dialogue's question - as I see it. So group video conferencing or HarvardX JuryX's "Threads" web chat software or ScratchEd's group post-it approaches for learning coding with this drag and drop programming language as CAWS all can facilitate this.
Cheers, Scott

Good calls there, I will check out Threads and ScratchEd too.
Was it difficult to launch your own full wiki platform (last year I think?). Curious what some of the technical/collaboration/

Someone over in Romania, thanks to Wikidata's Product Manager Lydia Pintscher in Berlin, was very helpful in setting WUaS's new Mediawiki up. I think it could be easy, but folks would have to read the online guidelines.
Join the Wikidata email list if you haven't already - wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org.
WUaS has two wings - A) non-profit 501 c 3 CC-4 MIT OCW-centric in 5 languages with Wikidata in 300 languages, and B) for-profit general stock company planned in all ~200 countries' official languages - and is planning for all of Wikimedia's ~300 languages initially, and has yet to join our "front end" in Miraheze Mediawiki - e.g. -
https://wiki.worlduniversityan
- with our "back end" in Wikidata/Wikibase, A) for students and B) e.g. for inventory in a bookstore, and re machine translation for our 7,097 living languages' academic press with machine translation.
This will be a good CAWS platform, to be sure ... :)
Cheers, Scott

So, World Univ & Sch' planned Hum 110 course online would be another CAWS ... accessible from here for credit eventually at WUaS https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Humanities ...

Excellent! What are some of the challenges you anticipate could crop up as you integrate the front end and back end pieces?

Coding for an universal basic income for peoples and learners and wiki teachers in all 7,097 living languages, and for all 7.5 billion people ... and re identity questions is a biggie ...

I see, yes. Is there a CMS function here as well, for storing active contents such as films and books to share?

Thanks for the ScratchEd Meetups pdf, it really fits what we are doing now!

Great, Scot,
Am exploring facilitating monthly ScratchEd Meetups out of the Stanford GSE. Maybe we could explore teaming up in these regards for both A) Scratch drag and drop programming and B) Lego robotics - WeDo2 and Mindstorms EV3 - with programming?

Hi Scot, Koh and Ants,
Re a
-Co-Authoring Wiki System
I found this about
CAWS from MIT CSail
And here's a different view on what a collaborative learning (and re Co-Authoring Wiki-based System) platform might seek to facilitate: Truth Prevails (Vincit Veritas) - https://mailchi.mp/
and re Reem Al Ashaikh, R. (2017) - http://openaccess.city.ac.

Yes, I've known about those European resources, they were among my initial finds. Nice letter from Reed, do you know of any prototypes that might model those values?

I think that WUaS can develop these Reed educational goals, for example, in Google group video Hangouts, and eventually INTO a realistic virtual earth (so 10 person group video into avatar bots in Google StreetView/ Maps/ Earth etc. with Time Slider as classrooms and STEM field sites), and emerging out of, for example, this wiki platform and the academic and open-ended subjects here - https://wiki.

Hi Scot, Ants and Koh,
In terms of taking this idea of CAWS - Co-Authoring Wiki System - further explicitly in the direction I've been writing about for years now re the creation of a realistic virtual earth that we can all add to, including with wiki-text (think Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, Translate plus), I just created the following Tweet:
adding TEXT to google street view (re social science method ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy @WorldUnivAndSch - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy)

How best to add Mediawiki / Wikidata/Wikibase to Google Street View then, (and re security Qs etc too)?
