I spent some time this morning cutting up more wikispaces data, this time focusing on instructor (see some student data here).  This dataset is somewhat difficult to make sense of for a lot of reasons.  Many instructors teach at multiples campuses (had to deal with some duplicates). The biggest instructor demographic using wikispaces are graduate students…but the data doesn’t discern course use vs. collaborative (or other) types of use.  Some data points:

• Fall 2009 saw n=295 individuals with an ‘instructor’ classification in the data warehouse use wikispaces.
• Of these instructors (n=295), 5 performed 100+ (this is not restricted to Fall 2009, this is lifetime edits).  Two of these 5 individuals have faculty appointments, but do not actively teach courses.
• Of these instructors (n=295), 64 made AT LEAST one edit, 22 made 10+ edits.
• Of these instructors (n=295), 261 originate from University Park.  The remainder are distributed somewhat evenly among remaining campuses.
• Breakdown of users by academic appointment:

You can see nearly 50% of the users are 1/2 time graduate assistants.  This makes things foggy, we can’t be certain their use is related to teaching and learning.  The next slice represents ‘instructor’, followed by ‘research associate’,then by ‘assistant professor’.
