  • Qaiku -channel for (informal) comments etc. during the presentations is quite interesting idea but it seem to have some technical "thingys" so I do not think of using it.
  • It is getting quite clear that wiki is the best available solution for OA method. Very few presentations actually have a clear tool or a system which is used in almost everyday life and for multiple purposes like Opasnet wiki is.

  • Tries to explain why cheating is good
  • Studying stuff that will be on tests, not the whole content
  • learning vs. grades
  • not very useful to memorize lots of irrelevant stuff
  • Italy has a culture of cheating in final exams
  • It takes months to prepare a good cheating ware (belts etc.)
  • Gathering data from multiple sources to create a synthesis of knowledge
  • Preparation involves parents, grandparents and friends
  • Bad cheating is to use a ready made cheating slips
  • Good cheating is to create your own slips
  • Several students did not need to use cheating slips -> preparing them was enough

  • In a test with good questions (no fixed answer) cheating is not that useful -> you can't find correct answers anywhere
