Re: [WikiEducator] A teacher is interested in her students taking the L4C course
Thanks for the quick response. What should I do next to help this teacher? Should I forward this message to the teacher in question or forward it to the google of teachers she belongs to in case other teachers are also interested (or might that overload the capabilitites of what wikieducator is able to provide)? Should I tell her to join this google group so she can speak directly with you Wayne and Anil?

Re: [WikiEducator] A teacher is interested in her students taking the L4C course
Mary, We would love more members and participants in our effort towards 'open educational content'. You are more than welcome to invite them to join the group. There is no question of 'overloading'. Please go ahead - we would love to interact with the teachers. Savithri 2009/12/6 Mary lightst...@gmail.com Thanks for the quick response. What should I do next to help this teacher?

[WikiEducator] Using UNV Online Volunteering
I think that it is a good idea, for training students how to use WikiEducator. We have used UNV OV for several years, although our way of doing it is different from how WikiEd will need to do it. Important thing is that we have volunteer coordinators, who guide volunteers through their assignments, encourage them when they show signs of slipping away, and keeping track of who is doing what.

Re: [WikiEducator] Using UNV Online Volunteering
Hi Everyone, Just for fun, I went to look at the registration area and application form. What I saw, tells me that Wayne is the one to fill it out, as we need a Registration Certificate to be uploaded, and as the OER Foundation is the organization supporting WikiEducator, that's what we need. (WikiEducator is a project - as I understand it, the community 'owns' it, but it doesn't have any legal status). So, to make things easier, I've created a page on the wiki, where the appropriate information can be inputted -- because it's a real pain to go through one of these applications, and then realize that you don't have all of the information, and the system discards what you've already completed. http://www.wikieducator.org/UNV Moreover, this information will be valuable to us, as we look for national, regional and local opportunities to attract volunteers, to work on projects of importance to us, in our growing international WikiEducator community.

Re: [WikiEducator] Using UNV Online Volunteering
Hi Randy, Phil I think UNV is a great concept and also thank everyone for thinking about creative ways in serving the WikiEducator mission :-) I am however, a little concerned about the Copyright statement on the UNV site, see: http://www.onlinevolunteering.org/en/vol/copyright.html I see that any information we submit to the UNV site will become all rights reserved to the UN. Technically we can't do this as it is a against the core values of the WikiEducator family. I can of course approach the UNV administrators on behalf of the OER Foundation / WikiEducator for an exception in the case of a WikiEducator produced appication to license the information we create under our default open content licenses. Should be an interesting test case :-). Thoughts? Cheers Wayne 2009/12/7 Randy Fisher wikira...@gmail.com Hi Everyone, Just for fun, I went to look at the registration area and application form.
