In September 2008, the third online teaching-related HAUS-EKDDA seminar was arranged in Athens. The use of wikis still inspires the instruction developers: operational modes are being further refined and specified all the time. The open content production philosophy is vigorously in vogue, and wiki still appears to be the easiest type of community generation tool. The fate of open wiki courses and materials appears, however, to be based on the contribution of active editors, since the uneven quality of content production necessitates good editorial work – otherwise, the usability of content is poor regardless of the user-friendliness of the program itself. The seminar boasted participants from a gratifyingly large number of administrative sectors, and as usual the programme was the responsibility of Riitta Suominen and Johanna Snellman.
