   Mike–I’ve quickly drawn up a Google Sheet to give you some examples from various disciplines at OU. I’ll add more as they come to me… https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nlIt5uvnmB5xG1VMy9r3dCwpiFihH5sHBpcaHc8Fc_k/edit?usp=sharing

   Most places to find this stuff will take a lot of sifting. This seems the kind of stuff one might find in Merlot, some seat of the cuff searches (one of their filters is by platform, and wiki is listed)– but you get mixed in a lot of stuff about using blogs and wikis as a subject.

   Lovely URLs they bottle at merlot!

   What about Wikiversity?
   https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Category:Courses

   What about UBC Wiki?
   http://wiki.ubc.ca/Course

   For blogs it might mean sifting through the places (NO UMW) that do a lot of hosting,
   https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/sites/

   Not Harvard
   http://huit.harvard.edu/services/course-blogs

   Penn State
   https://sites.psu.edu/

   It’s miss and hit out there.

   Thank you! Is it OK to document these on wiki?

   I liked the field botany course, this one mixing social engagement and events in the community just started but is interesting in lots of ways, another art/social engagement class that was interesting, a music class that just got started but is doing well. I liked this alternative navigation of sociological theorists that had multiple course levels in one space and the whole mother blog thing going on.

   I think there are also elements of other courses which are simple (and imperfect) but are getting better – students photos of particular gestalt theory they find, students capturing grave markers photos & data from a local African-American cemetery (next up will be serious work on site design & dataviz), an ornithology class photographing birds/recording songs . . . This urban bicycling course did some decent work in a short time and this anthropology of the crowd course reflection is a good read.

   All imperfect in their own ways but hopefully interesting.

   The lack of response may come from using the “best” even with qualifiers. Best is a high bar. I think I’ve given you things that are good and getting better.

   Hi Mike! My OU courses don’t show up on Adam’s list (they predate the OU Create project), but you can find them here:

   Mythology and Folklore
   hub: http://3043.mythfolklore.net/index.html

   Indian Epics: Ramayana and Mahabharata
   hub: http://4993.mythfolklore.net/index.html

   I’ve taught both courses since 2002. They have evolved pretty dramatically in that (long) time. I document how the courses work here:
   Anatomy of an Online Course
   http://anatomy.lauragibbs.net/

   No bonus points: they are Gen. Ed. Humanities courses, upper-division, mostly seniors. I’m always glad to share ideas and brainstorm with people interested in blog-based courses, especially writing-intensive courses. 🙂

   I think my last comment got stuck in spam but I’ve revised an examples site we use. I think you’ll find some of them interesting and I’ll keep adding to them. They do run across the spectrum deliberately because I’m hoping that the examples will be approachable for a variety of people.

   I guess my comment was stuck in spam also; here is what shows up as awaiting moderation:
