My favorite questions on this survey are the ones about students showing their work to others outside the class, and visual diagram which asks the students to describe their impression of the connections within the wiki. Do you know about <a href="http://researchweb.watson.ibm.com/history/" rel="nofollow">IBM's history flow tool</a>? We have been playing around w/ it a bit, but honestly no is sure what to make of the information it presents. Far more promising, I think, are tools which can help in visualizing the connections across the entire wiki, not just the texture of the conversation on a single page. I am thinking about tools like the <a href="http://www.solutionwatch.com/252/visualizing-delicious-roundup/" rel="nofollow">delicious visualization tools</a>, but constrained to a particular wiki instance.

Would be very interesting to brainstorm more on this - Curious to hear your thoughts on improving our surveys... what questions would you ask? Best, /Jonah Hi Ulises,

We have been thinking about this a bit at the Center, and have even run a few surveys that partially address this question.

Do you know about IBM’s history flow tool? We have been playing around w/ it a bit, but honestly no is sure what to make of the information it presents.
