xTimeline

Most of us teach courses that involve covering a little historical perspective of our topic, but learning those dates is not really high on our students’ lists of exciting activities!  But, with xTimeline, students just might find it a bit more engaging.  This web-based application lets individuals or groups create public or private timelines in a very easy, intuitive way.  I can completely see this being useful for everything from group project planning to individual or group efforts at creating timelines for everything from the history of a topic to the sequence of events in a novel. 

I created and posted an example of how I might use it to plan out my huge wiki project. Enjoy!
