2. Learners want it
3. You can make it happen by sharing your experience

[edit] Context

[edit] An irony

Thanks in large part to younger workers, more and more organizations today are using collaborative networking tools to boost collaboration and foster innovation and growth. Despite this, the phenomenon has not yet enjoyed mainstream adoption in the realm of business education, either as a topic or as a teaching method.

[edit] Open learning and collaborative teaching

Readers not familiar with the use of collaborative platforms in the field of education are urged to visit the web sites of:

• business essay papers
• Wikiversity
• Connexions
• management essay writing
• MIT Open Courseware

And to watch the introductory video presented by Richard Baraniuk in 2006 at the Technology Entertainment, Design (TED) Conference.

[edit] The Shared Experience Project

The Shared Experience Project (Shex) was born over a coffee one morning in mid-2007. Here's the deal:

[edit] What is it?

Shex is a platform for collaborative teaching, open learning and through which entrepreneurs can share their experience.

Read our introduction for more.

[edit] How is it different?

We like to say that it offers the collaborative culture of Wikipedia, the openness of Connexions, and an accessible, teaching and learning framework like no platform before it. It is different from previous platforms because of its focus on teaching and learning, because of its specific focus on entrepreneurship and innovation, and because it uses the same widely-accepted and technologically-mature web-based wiki engine as Wikipedia.
