If you're not familiar with the rule in so far as it relates to forums, blogs and wikis, the idea is that for every 100 users, one sets up the forum thread, blog or wiki page, ten contribute by replying, commenting or making amendments, while the rest are passive consumers. This wouldn't incentivise me, but it would work for plenty.

Online, learners collaborate using forums and two, one-hour synchronous sessions; they have their own blogs in Moodle (not used as much as I would have liked); they can, of course, also contribute to the glossary and the wiki.
