[WikiEducator] Open Access Tracking Project
WE members may be interested in a new collaborative project recently launched on keeping track of open access (OA) news (including open education) called the open access tracking project (OATP). As Peter Suber describes it The idea is to tag new OA developments and recruit others to do the same. On the many-eyeballs principle, we'll notice many more new developments together than any of us could notice on our own. A group feed will broadcast the results of what we notice to everyone who wants to follow along. So if you find an article on open access you can the tag it. To tag the feeds you need an account at Connotea http://www.connotea.org/. You then tag the article with oa.new and any other tags you wish (for example, oa.education or oa.india). The articles can be read by webpage (http://www.connotea.org/tag/oa.new?num=100), RSS (http://www.connotea.org/rss/tag/oa.new), or e-mail (http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=ConnoteaBookmarksMatchingTagOanewloc=en_US).

The first set will be a three-part series Go Wild with Wikis and will be hosted on Elluminate and facilitated by Sue Waters, Edublogs Community Facilitator. In the first session Sue will take you on a guided tour of what are wikis, why educators use wikis, and how to use wikis for their own professional learning and/or with their students. In future sessions you will gradually learn step-by-step details about the different features of a Wikispaces wiki including how to set it up, manage it and add content. While our beginner series focus is helping educators new to web technologies learn more about how they can use these tools with their students it will also provide 'takeaways' for the more experienced users.

[WikiEducator] Options for Activity Template
I'd like to create an activity (using Template:Activity or Template:Activity2) that provides a set of instructions and the results for each instruction (either in words or a screenshot image) if completed accurately. I've thought of two ways of doing this, but I can't figure out how to do either. 1) integrate an expand link that reveals the results when selected. 2) include a two column table -- instructions, results (And maybe there are other even better methods.) The draft activity is at: http://www.wikieducator.org/OpenOffice/Calc_3/Getting_to_know_the_application/Locating_the_components_of_the_Calc_Screen All help is much appreciated.

[WikiEducator] Fwd: Open Source Textbooks For California

The effort is spearheaded by Gov. Schwarzenegger. The effort seems very promising, but the state's complex standards and arduous textbook evaluation process will pose major challenges. ... The governator will surely be able to stop the digital textbooks from gaining sentience and subjugating humanity, but there are trickier challenges that will be even tougher to defeat than the impending Skynet apocalypse. Textbooks are a surprisingly controversial issue in California and there is a lot of political baggage and bureaucratic red tape that will make an open source textbook plan especially troublesome. ... [T]he traditional wiki approach is untenable for California teaching material. Individual changes to textbooks can become a source of fierce debate and there are a multitude of special interest groups battling over what the textbooks should say and how they should say it. It would take the concept of Wikipedia edit wars to a whole new level. http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/10/1815215from=rss Read more of this storyhttp://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/10/1815215from=rssat Slashdot.
