The editing tools are cool and the whole user experience is well thought out.<\/p>\n<p>I have played with it a bit to see what Wetpaint can do. <\/p>\n<p>They have added the ability to insert RSS feeds.<\/p>\n<p>There are many potential uses of Wetpaint for learner-developed content. Students in a tutorial group could create a Wetpaint site for their course - and all be tasked with building up a set of resources and providing explanations of what is going on. By reviewing each others' writing and thinking about the edits made to their own writing, there could be a valuable learning outcome.  Another use could be as a framework for a problem solving activity or a group project of some sort.<\/p>\n<p>Wikis are not new, but I like Wetpaint for its conceptual design and I think it will be easier to convince educators to use it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"alt\"><a href=\"#respond\" id=\"comms\">Be the first to comment<\/a> below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wetpaint is an interesting variation on the wiki concept with an easy to use set of editing tools.
