A wiki's an interesting idea, Margaret, but I wonder whether - in this case - it would thrive. Wikis are valuable for consolidating and aggregating disparate information sources, but in this case is it possible that a wiki could actually do the opposite: split an existing and authoritative information nexus (this list) into two competing sources? <br>
<br>People would either post their thoughts to the list, or the wiki but I doubt many of those people would have the time or inclination to post to both. <br><br>I realise that a mailing list like this is a very different animal to a
wiki - each tool has its strengths and weaknesses. The success of the wiki would depend on what it was primarily intended to achieve... discussion or collaborative resource development. Its charter would need to be carefully thought out to avoid a possible identity crisis.<br>

<br>
Rather than each one of us building our own resource list and breaking down the knowledge and skills for the study design independently, a wiki would be great!<br>
<br>
Any chance we could hang it off the VITTA server Adrian?<br>

OK. Nuff said! Everyone regrets at least one of their posts and the rest of you have deleted them all anyway!<br>
What I would like to do is to encourage a discussion about the study design here so that as you are reading through it, you can get suscinct answers to your questions - or raise topics that would be ones that would be good for resource development or PD. There are a number of experts that subscribe to these lists, such as the examiners, members of the study design writing team, text book writers, PD presenters, VCAA employees (and of course, Paula Christophersen). We are all willing and eager to answer your questions!<br>
Bring on the discussion,<br>
