This week the Harvard Business School IT Group's Educational Technology & Multimedia team invites our peers at the Columbia University Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) to show us the work they've been doing with Wiki technology in the classroom. Educational Technologist Jonathan Hall and his teammates will give us an overview of their Wiki platform and discuss some of the projects they have that involve the use of Wikis.

contained an article entitled Collaboration Rules by Philip Evans and Bob

here including collaboration trends and software development methodologies.
