[WikiEducator] WE Phase 3.0

2008-12-08 Thread Anil

Dear all,

As Dr. Wayne has suggested I have added my suggestions on Phase 3 at
the talk page.
http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator_talk:WikiEducator_3.0

Let us give high priority to Monthly News letter because it will help
as in project co-ordination to a greater extent. We may forward the
news letter to other stake holders also. For that a separate mailing
list may be maintained.

We may start a new page to coordinate the inception activities.
http:www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator:NewsLetter is it ok?  I would
also like to propose to start a separate technical discussion for News
Letter.

Warm regards
Anil

 Hi Anil,

 These are very important suggestions for our future strategic planning
 --- Please add these suggestions to our strategic planning page here:

 http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:WikiEducator_3.0

 You're right there is a growing need for additional tutorials on helping
 newbies with questions like where to start a new page --- we've made a
 humble start here:

 http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_tutorial/Developing_a_teachi...

 but still lots of room for improvement and additional resources we can
 develop to help newbies in becoming part of our community.

 We definitely need to improve our structure and categorisation of
 content in the wiki. We've made a start with the content info box
 template -- but this is still prototype and we need to test its
 functionality. Once we've tested and refined this template, we'll need
 to develop supporting tutorials on its use. See, for instance:

 http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_tutorial/Developing_a_teachi...

 We're hoping to include improved content listings using portal pages for
 the School sector, Higher Education, TVET and professional development,
 see for example:

 http://www.wikieducator.org/Portal:Primaryhttp://www.wikieducator.org/Portal:Secondaryhttp://www.wikieducator.org/Portal:Higher_Education..
  etc.

 However -- we still need to implement this properly.

 I really like the idea of a monthly newsletter -- and it would be great
 if we could identify a group of volunteers to assist with compiling a
 community newsletter.

 A while back we introduced a page starting to plot different roles in
 the community -- perhaps we need to revisit and improve this concept.
 All ideas welcome:

 http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_Roles

 Thanks Anil -- great suggestions. Lets get them implemented.

 Cheers
 Wayne

  Another thing we should do is to keep panels of WEs with specific

Hi Anil,

Great work!

A suggestion... I recall mentioning this idea to Leigh awhile back

Maybe we could source some journalism types (i.e., students, or up and
coming folks) to develop content for such a newsletter It would be a
great experience for them, as well as building up a profiletasks could
be news and events, profiles of wiki personalities, and projects, and
feature stories.

Dear Anil,

 

I'm involved with both UNV and PEOI and though both are very good there
could be some issues with quality. E.g. in the case of UNV online
translation review can be problematic/inexistent  and in the case of PEOI,
course author copyright might deter part of the peer-review benefits. Just
food for thought for they're both excellent and actually think there could
be potential WE-PEOI synergies for the textbook project (?).

Hi Randy,

Good thinking Randy --- there are many strategic elements in your post,
which I think we need to incorporate into our evolving strategy for the
future:

 http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:WikiEducator_3.0
http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:WikiEducator_3.0

Thinking about Professional Development, clearly this is an important node
for development. Thinking about the value proposition, there are two
important reasons why an OER approach to professional development makes so
much sense:

1) Almost every tertiary education institution has a professional
development unit -- yet in my experience most are not adequately resourced
in terms of staff or budget to do what needs to be done on campus. 
2) An OER approach to professional development should theoretically be less
threatening to institutions testing the OER waters because PD courses for
academic staff are not necessarily courses on which institutions compete
with each other. 

Back in the early conceptualisation phases of WikiEducator (i.e. before we
moved to a hosted server solution) -- on 19 March 2006 I set up a PD
development node on WE envisioning rapid growth (
http://www.wikieducator.org/index.php?title=Professional_Development_(eLear
ning_and_Instructional_Design)oldid=1807
http://www.wikieducator.org/index.php?title=Professional_Development_(eLearn
ing_and_Instructional_Design)oldid=1807 ) -- However, I suspect that the
idea was premature and poorly implemented :-), especially given that at the
time we only had 10 registered accounts!  (Wow -- can you believe that we're
nearing the threshold of 7000 users!)

So I thinking the timing is right to progress this further.

With reference to your suggested refinements on the L4C initiative -- again
the timing is just right from a strategic point of view. The current
iterration of L4C will run to 30 June 2009 -- as determined by our external
funding support from Hewlett. We need to start thinking about where we take
L4C in the future --- and I really like your ideas for refocusing and
reconfiguring the initiative. 

I'd be keen to hear what folk think?  How should WE provide support for
capacity 

[WikiEducator] Re: Building a sustainable WE OER Textbook initiative

2008-12-08 Thread valerie

Maria - Dream on...

This is the sort of thing that I have been working on as well.

With my very WikiEducator-centric view, I think that wikipages might
be part of the process. Paths, sequences, study guides, or some such
designation could be created to include activities and links to other
learning objects - just as you suggest.  These could be created by
instructors for their own use, by learners as a product of their own
learning and discovery and/or as a collaboration by a community of
practice. Because they live in WE they could be tagged to indicate
that they are intended / available for aggregating.

If this were a perfect world.. the aggregates would be helpful as
recommendations or referrals. Then there could be some magic that
does all the things you suggest - customize the display to the
learner's selections and specification

Finding and using these great resources is really important and
interesting.

Thanks for the wonderful ideas and comments.

2008-12-08 Thread Steve Foerster

Günther,

I'm surprised your message calling for an examination of what
relationship WE could have with nonviolence didn't get more
attention.  It sounds interesting, but there are aspects to this that
I would want to explore further.

For example, the four listed guidelines use terms that mean different
things to different people, and which seem to go beyond what I would
strictly think of as nonviolence.  For example, respect for life
often has contentious connotations about abortion, and both socialists
and libertarians (in the American sense) believe theirs is the just
economic order.

Instead of starting with an attempt to draft a set of ethics for WE,
it might be better to start by using WE to collaborate on building
curricula on nonviolence studies?

[WikiEducator] enough with copyleft, fair use/dealings is more important

2008-12-08 Thread Leigh Blackall
Fair Use (and Dealings) is the right of educators, as it is for journalists
and documentary makers. Instead of religiously playing into the hands of
copyright fascism with strict adherence to copyleft (and so limiting our
educational opportunities to only content meeting free cultural
definitions), Wikieducator should aggressively lead the charge (in a non
violent way) and stand up for Fair Use/Dealings, and grow the security of
that ground for educators everywhere. http://blip.tv/file/1452933/

[WikiEducator] Re: WikiEducator goes non-violent?

2008-12-08 Thread Maria Droujkova
If we include coercive in the definition of violent then forcing kids
learn is an example of violent content. As a math educator, I see a lot of
kiddie torture related to my subject.

This is also a good example of how varied our definitions of violent
behavior can be. I meet very few people who share that definition.

Hi All,

Why doesn't someone create a page with all of the meanings our community
folk see - then it might be easier to identify content and/or projects of
interest?
