With MDDE 610 Assignment 2, we were given the opportunity to write a paper that reflects our own specific priorities and interests within the current distance education technologies. I was interested in the idea of user created open access learning materials by utilizing collaborative writing tools (e.g. wikis). This assignment, presented here as Artefact 3, allowed me to discover Connexions, the web-based curricular content authoring and publishing technology that I believe has a growing potential for writing and distributing free-of-charge learning materials. Artefact 3 was also the inspiration for my course-based research in MDDE 701 (see Artefact 5).
