[Air-L] Using Wikis in Qualitative Research

[Denise N. Rall]

Mike -

As I recall our keynote speaker in Copenhagen last year, Mimi Ito, employed wikis in her intergrated research project with (over?) 35 researchers from different(?) universities.

I don't remember in that much detail but large scale research projects like hers might be a good place to start.
