A RESTful technique for collaborative learning content transclusion by Wiki-style mashups

In this paper we propose a simple pragmatic technique, called fladget, for enabling end-users to mashup multimedia content within Wiki pages of their community peers. Since the fladget considers Wiki as a content as well as mashup repository service, Wiki RESTful API is proposed. The fladget extends functionality of existing plugin mechanism, so it can use rich-client technology for interaction with distributed multimedia content, but in a pragmatic Wiki-like manner. The presented concept is illustrated by a hypothetical Linked Active Learning Community example demonstrating how the presented mechanism can be used at the community interaction level.
