Collaborative roleplaying through wikis

check out the learning community I am launching today. It involves ethinic reconciliation through collaborative historical research and improvisational playwriting: http://performing4peace.ning.com/ It makes sense that a playscript would be written in a wiki rather than through a discussion forum. So far I have yet to find any 3rd party widgets that have wiki functionality for social networking sites. Does anyone know of a wiki widget? Cordially, Said

Re: Collaborative roleplaying through wikis

Hi Stefan & Said, I've heard very good things about the Gulf Island school ~ as I recall, they may have had a showing at the Ridge Theatre in Vancouver. In my view, any project that breaks down 'walls' between people - Jewish/Palestinian; aboriginal / white folks, or just about anyone else...is a good thing...I've heard of it being done with sports, and it's really neat when it comes to arts and entertainment. Regarding a wiki as a collaboration space, I think it is very useful. However, beyond the technical functionality of the wiki itself, I think it's critical to consider the Community of Support within and around the wiki.....thus, I'd like to make a case for you to conduct said (no pun intended!) activities on WikiEducator.... Our community is growing, and we'd like to hook up like-minded people, to form clusters that are geographic and interest-based....It sounds like there are already two-like-minded people here! Imagine using collaborative scriptwriting as you suggest - for developing curricula for high school kids, or even primary school kids....That is right up WikiEd's alley...and from my experience in the business and nonprofit world, it seems to me that a well thought out curricula might be a great candidate for some kind of funding... What do you think about these ideas? - Randy On Dec 30, 2007 1:59 AM, Rasporich <srasporich-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello Said, > > I thought you might be interested in the Gulf Islands Film and > Television School in Canada, who have had students from Israel and > Palestine work together on collaborative filmmaking. > > http://www.gulfislands.net/news.asp?ID=1636 > > Also, I have had some experience doing playwriting collaboratively > online, and used google docs, but I really like the idea of the wiki > - it would seem to be a natural way to explore historical context > linked to from the play, all embedded in the wiki.
