I do find Wikipedia to be a powerful learning tool, one that I access almost everyday and for which I write at least two or three articles a year. Social tagging systems like del.icio.us and CrowdTrust seem to have more potential as social learning tools, but my gut feeling is that they have not yet flowered for this use.

That first round of e-learning largely failed for precisely this reason. You can’t remove the humans from learning.
