I have struggled with the inefficiencies of the mechanisms through which I teach my own technology/productivity training sessions; something like this would be very exciting! I love this idea!

On my list of sites to scrape! I think the connecting those tools with the faculty -- and students! -- using them would be a huge value-add. @Jeremy yes…that list is great.

Seems like a good deal of this could take place on the <a href="http://digitalresearchtools.pbworks.com/" rel="nofollow">Digital Research Tools</a> wiki started up by Lisa Spiro. Or that could at least be the starting point. There's already a great collection of tools listed there. (The link to DimDim is broken...missing a "w.") Fantastic idea, sir.

This is exactly what I'm working on with this wacky Giant EduGraph idea (posts <a href="http://www.patrickgmj.net/blog/thoughts-toward-a-giant-edugraph" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.patrickgmj.net/blog/zotero-openlibrary-and-some-more-components-of-a-giant-edugraph" rel="nofollow">here</a>). A place for people to share the tools they use in a class, and especially to get some correlation betwee the tools, and the topics, and the methodologies of those classes would be a huge boon for collaboration in higher ed. And your usage examples are fantastic...They would do great things to motivate faculty to contribute info -- that's always essential. And the karma-points idea for institutions is also great! Maybe we should join forces on this (and together we can rule the Galaxy!). <a href="http://devel.patrickgmj.net/GEG/Exhibits/BookSubjects/directory.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>'s an example of a similar idea, but working around books a course uses rather than tools (but I'm also considering books as a subset of tools). Still sketchy, but <a href="http://bit.ly/gegAddCG" rel="nofollow">here</a>'s the input screen I'm using if you want to play. Hopefully we can chat more about this soon. Trevor,
