    Creating a DL wiki has been proposed here before. Lots of people volunteered to help, but after a "here's the wiki page, have at it", the efforts seemed to fade away for lack of direction.

    I've set something up and added a bit of content. Here's an example of what could be done:

    http://www.dlwiki.com/index.php?title=AACSB_MBAs

    Ted Heiks and Jonathan Liu, among others, have already done great work in this area. But, I think a wiki has several advantages.

    For example, a student could sort programs by state (click the little icon to the right of state). They could sort by lowest tuition. They could sort by state and then view the lowest tuition for a school in their state very easily. Additional columns could be added, allowing things such as a sort by number of credit hours, course length, or perhaps US News/BusinessWeek/FT ranking. And, in this format, information is very easy to update and reference to the primary source at the official school web sites.

    I'm focusing on completing this page on AACSB MBA programs for now, and will update this thread as I make progress. Please leave ideas, suggestions or feel free to contribute!

    Sounds like a good idea, but also a tremendous amount of work! Hopefully many people will come on board ...

    I created this short page:

    http://www.dlwiki.com/index.php?title=Masters_Degree_in_HCI

    ... cuz there aren't too many online programs offered in that area, and I already had a list of most of the relevant info. :)
