The main problem is that some professors don't want to go the extra mile to make their classes more cooperative, intuitive and fun to work. They rather show the same power point slides for 5 years in a row, give the same homework and same tests, since this makes their life much more easier. I did notice recently though that in many of my information systems classes, especially on tests and homeworks professors do encourage students to go on different sites and get their information from anywhere they please as long as it is somewhat credible and the student states the resource. So maybe in the near future there will be more classes/professors taking up this form of education. I completely agree with your view on cheating.

There is a great deal of hard work that goes behind the scenes that the community can't notice but understand that this site is always active. I invite all artists of all forms (digital, traditional, writers...) to visit Artician and take part of this amazing creative network.

I urge you to check out Open Social. I think that as communities start to develop in a more numerous and specialized fashion, integration with Open Social will be crucial to creating an easy and efficient user experience. We also have something pretty sweet in development right now that will answer your concerns using a bit of a different technique than Open Social, but similar concept. Msg me and I'll give you some details, the project is still too early to be up on the blog. Joe, you bring up a good point. I urge you to check out Open Social.

I tend to agree that niche communities where people have a higher level of commitment and care are the preferred route. Once thing I've realized is how difficult it's going to be to make millions of people have dozens of social profiles - much easier to focus on a core group of people who you can really contribute value to in a meaningful way and then hopefully they'll be empowered to spread the word themselves; Ask someone nowadays and they'll say I already have a Myspace, a Facebook and a LinkedIn - why the hell would I need a new profile on XYZ? Being a member of the founding team of a web community, It definitely hits home. Good food for thought Good post faz.
