I don't know of any websites but I do know from experience that I have
used wikis when I want the students to work together to come up with a
project or solve a problem. I have assigned the students to work in
groups and they each build up or respond to part of a problem. The wiki
gives a way for them to create and edit one another's work allowing
them to be part of the creative process while also checking each others
work for accuracy. Peace.
You can listen to a podcast of educators discussign wikis at EdTechLive.com
I don't know of any but we could work on it on http://moodle.docs.org/WhyWiki and create it ourselves!!!!
Greetings, N!
I ran across this today and remembered your post here. Have a look!

I am interested in tiddlywiki, as a means for creating my own 'knowledge' web--on a thumb drive! I like the idea of doing collaborative research projects, since that is practical. For some reason I like the more tactile idea of clicking to interconnected material than trying to draw a mind map that is purely visual. I think of it, in my own mind, of "going there", even when "there" is a virtual place.
Someday, perhaps you can give us a report on what your students did! Although using a wiki is probably no longer cutting edge or innovative to some intrepid souls, I think it is to most of us who swim midstream!

The interesting idea of tiddlyWiki is that a student can take his working wiki to an another platform when his next school does not (yet) use Moodle.
Ludo was playing with that some time ago, but I do not know the current status.
I would like it in two flavors:
- as a resource (rights handled by a kind of resource envelop?)
- as a textfilter (then only possible as multi user microcontent?)
