Rudolf Dreikurs Wiki!

http://wik.ed.uiuc.edu/index.php/Dreikurs,_Rudolf

This site is a collaborative effort on the same document. It discusses the works of the educational theorists Rudolf Driekurs. A question must be asked is it reliable because any person can simply add onto it. This is a private Wiki which means not all people can add to it. A Wiki is stored on the server and anyone at anytime can change and add new information to the Wiki.
This is an example of E learning 2.0 this means it is second generation E learning. It is the step up from emailing and other basic ICT uses. Can students rely on this idea though? Can they store all there information on this and still use it as a reliable resource even though others can flaw this. This Wiki gives an interesting insight into Dreikurs theories and offers information added by teachers and other theorists.
2.0 equals collaborating with other people to create new knowledge.

COMMENT: This private wiki is enough evidence to prove that while people do worry about everyone on the Internet adding to the one Wiki, with the wiki locked to a certain amount of people it means to a certain extent we are able to trust those who are adding to the Wiki
