I have been using a wiki (Mediawiki software) on my own server for teaching since about 1 year with great success among the students. On the wiki, at http://www.birkenkrahe.com/wiki you find material for a number of courses on organisational consulting (advanced Undergrad), business information systems (beginnning Undergrad), problem solving and decision making (MBA level), and more.
Next semester, I will move most of the Wiki action and content to our learning management system (ilias - see http://www.ilias.de) which has got an onboard wiki with the next version (3.10). So does Moodle (http://www.moodle.org), another open source LMS, but I do believe that the Ilias wiki is better for use.

Enjoy!

Hi Marcus,
great work. Have you considered shareing your content on Wikieducator ?

Hi Marcus,just had a look at your wiki project - congratulations on the content. Would be interested, how well and frequently it is visited by the members of the group(s) and the students - and, is there a functionality behind, which allows the students to link up with each other in a web 2.0 style interface? Or are the members switching to other web 2.0 applications where they engage with each other?Yours Markus
