* '''Movement away from tests, and more emphasis on group projects.''' Adults tend to be "tired" and the end of the day, but fun activities such as "break-out" sessions, ice-breakers, and group projects can be effective methods to keep students engaged and monitor participation. This is solidly supported by "Adult Learning Principles".
* '''Immediate and graduated use of personal WIKIs.''' Students need to "drop the textbook", and move "towards the cloud" (i.e. contribute to online database) in order to interact and share vital information and ideas with their peers and with the World. Course notes and readings to be created already contained in a WIKI to WIKIs allow instructor instructors to simply provide links direct students to each student edit their wiki to add link to their WIKIlearning content. Students will slowly learn the value of a WIKI and rely on that their WIKI as opposed to traditional hard-copy educational media.
* '''Building a community''' of WIKIs (planet) to allow others to share information and collaborate.
* '''Learn to check own WIKI activity and other WIKI activity''' via "Watch Lists". In this way, students learn to follow-up with group information sharing in a consistent and frequent manner.
