We have often reflected on the site's progress, both to
ensure its long-term viability and reflect on areas in need of
improvement. From our perspective, the site has been
successful for a number of reasons, many of which we discuss
above: A solid empirical foundation and emphasis on posting
high quality information, the multiple ways in which users can
search for and explore the content, and the willingness of
scholars and their families to share information with us. The
involvement of our graduate students, many with a passion
for the topic or advanced technological skills, was critically
important to the creation of the site and the periodic overhauls
of the interface to keep the site as reflective of recommended
online learning practice as possible. Our institutions also
deserve credit for understanding that thiswork is an important
contribution to teaching and should be considered as such
during merit review, promotion and tenure, and related
processes. When we started this project, many institutions
would not have been so forward thinking, and we were able to
provide substantiallymore timeto the project thanwould have
otherwise been the case.
Where to go next? We recently finished an undergraduate
text on human intelligence (Plucker & Esping, 2013), taking a
similar approach to the content as the web site, and we
uncovered substantial insights in the course of researching
and writing the book that need to be reflected on the site,
including the possibility of a substantially revised map. We
are also not giving up on the initial vision that this site will
become a community effort, with a broader range of contributors.
We essentially viewed this possibility as a moderated
wiki, although that term was not widely used at the time we
began this work. And we continue to explore alternative ways
to present and organize the data, taking advantage of insights
gleaned from new theory and research and advances in
technology (e.g., maps based on citation analyses).
