Weaknesses -

Appropedia

Appropedia is: the site for collaborative solutions in sustainability, poverty reduction and international development.

Strengths- Large community including educators and students. Some pilot classes online with Lonny, Joshua Pierce and Rod Ruoff.

Weaknesses - No explicit focus on creation of educational resources for the classroom. Teachers often shy away from wikis because of open nature, copyright vs. copyleft or other reasons. Few courses online and undefined structure of coursework. Course pages themselves can go unused.
