I just ran across a web 2.0 site called FunAdvice and, as usual, reviewed it with an eye towards its usefulness as a teaching tool. The site is set up to allow users to pose questions which other users answer and I'm sure was not initiated as a learning utility. But, what if we asked our students to pose questions on the site related to concepts under study and then analyze the answers received (or why no answers were received). I can even envision some useful group analysis. So, why bother? Why not just assign a research question? Well, to my way of thinking, the students might engage and connect with something like FunAdvice while learning to evaluate information and think through the concepts we present. It might be worth a try. [Link to FunAdvice]
