The presenters have incorporated blogs and wikis in over eleven sections of four courses in two years ranging from upper level calculus and computer science courses to general liberal arts mathematics courses.  Each implementation has one or more common thread of enhancing research skills, information literacy, teamwork and sharing.  In the all of the instances, the learning objectives, assignments and projects are easily adapted to other disciplines.  Recently, the authors have presented the learning objectives in a series of games designed to increase student interest and participation.  These games provide a storyboard where additional objectives, material and skills can be incorporated into the syllabus while web 2.0 provides an asynchronous platform that enhances the curriculum.  Since all the implementations are web-based, the material can be easily incorporated into on-line and hybrid courses.

The authors will share their experiences incorporating Web 2.0 and discuss the benefits and challenges in both the collaboration and institutional support for their work.  This will include issues of infrastructure, institutional policy and union contracts as they impacted the research and implementation.

This poster session will include assessment data, student feedback, anecdotal evidence and exemplary student submissions that will be shared with the audience.

Professors Glass and Spiegelman have been accepted and will be presenting at the following upcoming state, national and international conferences on technology and in the fields of mathematics, research and information literacy.
