Connecting and supporting diverse students in productive learning communities is especially hard when teaching large (200+) classes. Even proficient and engaging OB instructors find it difficult to foster and evaluate class participation by reluctant participants including second language learners, extreme introverts, performance anxiety sufferers, and the speech- and hearing-disabled. Presented in this session is a project in which large lecture class student volunteers work together, with some instructor involvement, in wiki-facilitated cooperative authoring activities. Session participants will discuss the project’s structure, its results, and the effectiveness of various wiki content and group composition alternatives in light of their own experiences.
