How this practice supports a primary pillar---access: ELATEwiki is intended to provide the means for members to post, share, enhance, and interact using a dynamic and evolving information exchange. The wiki approach facilitates rapid online communication and has already been used in a variety of ways. First, it allows expert teachers to share their knowledge in a fast and effective way. It allows these experts to correct and improve on ideas contributed by others. Second, novice teachers can use ELATEwiki to learn new techniques and explore ideas for improving their teaching. They can also contribute cutting-edge ideas and ensure new knowledge is made available to more established teachers. Third, ELATEwiki supports classroom access to material. Not only is the material on ELATEwiki available as a student resource, it can be used as a site for developing and posting student projects that are visible to the entire world. This sense of moving a project beyond the classroom and making it a valuable artifact tends to motivate performance and encourage collaboration between student team members, peers, experts outside the classroom, and teachers. And finally, ELATEwiki’s access feature ensures that meaningful and effective access will follow the student as they move from academic to professional life.
