Abstract
Since its origin in 2011, the E-Learning Faculty Modules (built on a MediaWiki understructure) has evolved into a resource with over 130 articles in three tiers: Beginners' Studio, E-Learning Central, and Advanced Workshop. This resource has remained focused on supporting online instructors in their work. Since this resource is built in an open-source way on a designed wiki structure, it is possible to data-fy various aspects of the wiki: (1) the emergent wiki-hosted contents, (2) user page views, and (3) observable gaps with ideas for next steps. This chapter demonstrates some of the easy-access data about online usage of an open-access open-source resource distributed through a Web 2.0 technology.
