TiddlyWiki and distance-learning.
November 13th, 2007 — Distance-learning, Education, MORE project, TiddlyWiki
As mentioned earlier, I am involved in various projects to develop TiddlyWiki for educational usage. Amongst them, is the MORE project which uses TiddlyWiki to allow students to receive and respond to educational and healthcare information. During the course of my work on the MORE project I’ve had a realisation: TiddlyWiki has great potential as a distance-learning tool.
We are working on an early TiddlyWiki prototype for the MORE project, which is a promising start in this direction. However it has also shown us that the possibilities with TiddlyWiki in distance-learning seem endless and there is a lot more we can do.
The possibilities
The possibilities for TiddlyWiki as a distance-learning tool include:
- Electronic course books - distribution of lectures and other course materials as TiddlyWikis, shared via email or CD.
- Electronic notebooks for note-taking and homework.
- Automatic downloading of new lessons to the student’s TiddlyWiki.
- Synchronization of homework and tests between students and teachers.
- Collaboration between students via TiddlyWikis that synchronize with each other.
- Authoring of new course materials and tests by teachers.
- Tools for teachers to store, view and analyse student results and performance notes.
New: TiddlerNotesPlugin

In light of the recent discussion in the community about annotating tiddlers without modifying the original contents, I have decided to release the first public version of the TiddlerNotesPlugin.
New: AnnotationsPlugin and FootnotesPlugin
October 22nd, 2007 — Education, Plugins, TiddlyWiki
Two new plugins have been released at LewcidTW.
The AnnotationsPlugin allows you to annotate content, by creating small text bubbles that appear when you move your mouse over key words or phrases.
The FootnotesPlugin provides an automated way to create a bibliography for each tiddler, by creating footnotes which are automatically numbered and linked to the relevant part of the content.
A new direction.

A new look, a new location, a new direction, and hopefully much more content.
That is the idea behind this re-launch of my weblog. The last few months have seen me become more active than ever in using and developing TiddlyWiki — especially for educational purposes — yet most of this has been unapparent to the TiddlyWiki community. I intend to change that, starting here and now. Continue reading →
