When I was approached by Bill Hunter at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) I was at a loss as to how to handle his request. He had been working with students on collaborative, self-reflective projects within a course and wanted to put their research to the test of blind review. I was happy to oblige, but felt like a dinosaur as he talked about his use of “wiki’s” within the classroom setting. I did know that this included the creation of websites on which users were able to collaboratively modify the content and structure. However, I wondered how this could be used in a classroom, or what possible relationship it may have with Action Research.
