Hi Wayne

It will be my pleasure to spread the word in support of the OERu’s free course. 
I myself will register at a later stage as I am currently taking other courses, 
thinking about spring if available.

Warm regards

There is a course poster<https://docs.oeru.org/s/sAycXxdjyEMWnsc> you can 
download for displaying in community learning centres (or sending as an email 
attachment)

social media (Twitter, Mastodon, LinkedIn etc.)

Subject: [WikiEducator] OERu launches 1st business course with stackable 
micro-credentials

The OERu is excited to announce the launch of its first business course with 
options for stackable micro-credentials.

Introduction to Project Management<https://oer.nz/ipm100lp> is a free, online, 
open education course where participants will learn how to lead, initiate, 
plan, and execute a project of their choice. This course comprises four 
micro-courses:

  *   Role of the project manager (IPM101)
  *   Initiating a project (IPM102)
  *   Planning a project (IPM103)
  *   Executing and closing a project (IPM104)
The OERu has partnered with Edubits to offer assessment services for learners 
who want to earn micro-credentials for these micro-courses. Each assessment is 
small enough to be manageable for busy people, but big enough to be meaningful 
for employers.

Learners who complete the four associated micro-credentials can gain academic 
credit towards the Certificate Higher Education Business (OERu), a UK-based 
qualification from the University of the Highlands and Islands.
For more information see: https://oer.nz/ipm100lp

Hope to see you online!

Best wishes
Wayne

Hi Everyone

I'm very pleased to share the news of the appointment of our new Open Source 
Technologist. Dave Lane is currently the President of the New Zealand Open 
Source Society and brings 21 years of open source development and leadership 
experience to the OERu network,

Together with Jim Tittsler who has established solid open foundations and 
technical leadership for the OERF since our inception, we will continue to make 
open futures happen.

This would not have been possible without the generous contributions from our 
new platinum tier OERu partners who have made this possible. A special thanks 
goes to: Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Canada); Otago Polytechnic (New 
Zealand), University of the Highlands and Islands (United Kingdom) and the 
University of Southern Queensland (Australia).  Read more ...

during our recent meeting in Hobart -- our newest partner from Australia.

Curtin University is ranked 25th in the world for universities under the age of

Australia is well on track to replacing New Zealand as the country with the 
highest number of teaching partners!

 Dear  Friends,

 The WikiEducator User Page Expo http://wikieducator.org/UPE (UPE

 that are particularly informative, innovative, visually appealing, or
 otherwise just plain clever.

 We are happy to announce the winner for August 2014. She is Kim Thomas.
 Lets learn more about her.

 Kim Thomas http://wikieducator.org/User:Hortykim is a Lecturer for
 Foundation Studies in Trades,Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand. In addition,
 she has performed roles as Lecturer (Natural Resources); as a Teaching and
 Research Assistant Department of Natural Resources, Otago Polytechnic,
 Dunedin; managing Permaculture Garden and Wormfarm for Living Campus; as
 Lecturer,Occupational Therapy and Health and Safety Adviser for ABE at
 Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin. She has lot of achievements to her credit like
 Recipient of staff excellence award (and development grant) February 2011
 Staff Meeting; Certificate of Appreciation-Excellence in Leadership(2009);
 Public Speaker - Confident public speaker for Hort Talk series and kindred
 gardening groups; Short Course Coordinator - Created and developed short
 courses; sourcing tutors, developing programmes, promotion and
 co-ordination. In addition, she created substantial opportunities for all
 programmes and Short Courses at the Otago Polytechnic. She developed and
 maintained a working relationship with local media alongwith co-ordinating
 advertising features and publicity opportunities. She has successfully
 created an OER based Course on Permaculture Design
 http://wikieducator.org/Permaculture_design. This course provides an
 introduction to permaculture design principles and methods which when
 applied will lead you down the path to sustainable systems for your home or
 working environment. Some of the learning outcomes for this course are to
 understand and describe the ethics and principles of permaculture; and to
 outline procedures used to analyze a site for permaculture. An ardent fan,
 she expresses in her blog, ...I find that wikieducator is a great place to
 store resources and is extremely time efficient. Once I had mastered the
 ability to set up new pages and edit them then I am able to tweak and add
 information so that my lesson plans and resources improve every time I
 present a particular unit to my class. I also really enjoy capturing
 resources on video and photos as we do a lot of stuff that is practical and
 interesting.These resources become links in the wikieducator to support
 ideas or explain concepts for future students.Another great benefit is if a
 student misses a class then I can direct them to the session stored on the
 wiki.

 Please join us in congratulating Kimto
 http://wikieducator.org/User:Hortykim be the UPE winner for August
 2014!

July 2014
[http://WikiEducator.org/images/thumb/e/ec/ASnieckus.jpg/90px-ASnieckus.jpg]http://wikieducator.org/File:ASnieckus.jpg

Alison Snieckushttp://wikieducator.org/User:ASnieckus is a trained 
educational measurement specialist. From 1986 to 2000 she worked at Educational 
Testing Service (ETS, the makers of the famed SAT, TOEFL, GRE). Later on 
due to personal reasons she gave up her job at ETS.  She, alongwith a fellow 
homeschooling parent started homeschooling,and founded a local group for teens 
to have the opportunity to study and collaborate together: E-cubed: Experience, 
Explore, Educatehttps://sites.google.com/site/ecubednj/. Here once per week 
sessions are designed around teen-led activities. Since the group was founded, 
it has grown over the years. In 2009-2010, she taught a hybrid course in 
Introductory Statistics to 5 secondary students who homeschool. The online 
portion of the course was provided by Carnegie Mellon University's Open 
Learning Initiative. The goal of the course is to encourage students to think 
statistically, to communicate accurately and comprehensively about data, and to 
use a critical framework to evaluate studies. In Fall 2010 and Fall 2011, She 
taught Statistical Methods II for the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers, 
The State University of New Jersey. She advocates for an educational system 
which better recognizes and values the rich potential of individual variation 
among human beings. She argues on why do we think that all children should be 
force-fed a curriculum based on a narrow set of common standards, devised, 
largely, at the beginning of the last century? She has truly identified that 
every child (and certainly every teenager) deserves the option to self-direct 
his/her own education with the help of caring adults!

Please join us in congratulating Alisonhttp://wikieducator.org/User:ASnieckus

Thank you Wayne for clarifying this, Wayne. Appreciate

Subject: Re: [WikiEducator] WikiEducator - Connected media

Hi Michael,

Embedding video within an OER international website is complex. Historically 
this has been a topical issue in the WikiEducator community.  I've been quietly 
hoping that HTML5 will solve our challenges, particularly native support for 
playback of open file formats -- but I think I may need a little more patience.

Our commitment to free cultural works approved licensing means that apart from 
open licensing, we have a commitment to provide access to editable and open 
formats of the source video files.  Revise and Remix are core components of the 
OER definition.

A general practice has emerged over the past few years with regards to 
embedding video,  but ideally we need to provide clear guidelines. Perhaps now 
is a good time to commence a work group to progress these policy issues.

So here are the issues:

  *   The Kaltura extension is no longer supported - in the early day's Kaltura 
were responsive in keeping things operational in Mediawiki, but this no longer 
seems to be a priority. So we can no longer use Kaltura.
  *   It is possible to upload videos to the Wikimedia Commons in free file 
formats and embed within WikiEducator which meets all our requirements for free 
cultural works approved licensing. This works well for videos of general 
interest, but not ideal for video material which is too specific, for example 
an video introduction for a WikiEducator course which is not hosted within the 
Wikimedia projects. I don't think it's ethical to use the free hosting services 
of the Wikimedia Foundation for initiatives which are out of scope with the 
Wikimedia family of projects.
  *   While free file formats are our preferred solution, there is a difficult 
challenge - namely users whose freedoms have been compromised through no fault 
of their own. The practice where some employers lock down desktop machines 
restricting the users freedom to download the codecs to play free file format 
videos is sadly widespread. While respecting freedom of choice - we do not wish 
to deny any educator or learner from viewing video material.
  *   Previously, the no-cost BlipTV service offered a valuable prototype 
solution. Users could upload free-file formats, tag videos with CC licenses, 
and BlipTV would automatically mirror a copy of the file on the Internet 
Archive. However, the support for providing copies on the Internet Archive 
discontinued, followed by BlipTV stopping their free hosting service. This 
highlights the risks for an OER community using no-cost corporate services. 
(In fact today I've been uploading replacements to legacy BlipTV hosted videos 
from the first meeting of the OERu. Unnecessary waste of productive time :-()
  *   Now that YouTube provides for CC-BY licensing - that solves one 
historical challenge of why we have not supported the embedding of Youtube 
video. However, YouTube does not support the CC-BY-SA license which may be the 
preferred choice for pro-freedom WikiEducators. Furthermore, to the best of my 
knowledge, there is no reliable mechanism to restrict embedded advertisements. 
The WikiEducator community is committed to providing an advertising free 
website, and this has been a core value since our inception.
  *   Vimeo has provided a useful prototype solution, particularly for OERu 
partners. Vimeo supports creative commons licenses, open file format video for 
download and an easy pathway for WikiEducators to embed video in the wiki. The 
challenge for OERu partners is that the terms of service of the no-cost version 
of Vimeo restricts commercial use.  So for OERu partners who will be offering 
assessment for credit on a fee for service basis cannot use the no-cost Vimeo 
service.  In the case of OERu courses, our partners have funded their own 
Pro-accounts on Vimeo to ensure that we do not breach the terms of service.
  *   At a technical level, the OER Foundation could host video material on our 
servers (including server side conversion service for those who are unable to 
upload video in free file formats.) However, as a small non-profit Foundation 
-- we do not have the funding to cover these costs at this time.
With this brief summary of some of the issues - -I would welcome a committed 
group of volunteers to progress policy guidelines and corresponding help 
resources regarding the embedding of rich media.

Hi Michael,

I don't think there is a list per se, but we have Kaltura that allows you
to upload videos, see here
http://wikieducator.org/Collaborative_Video_-_Help_and_Sandbox

I have also used Blip TV before in one the L4C courses with a spoken

Perhaps it would be a good idea to get the community together to develop
new tutorials that address these, following your lead.

Thanks

We are pleased to announce that the Open University of Catalonia will be
joining the OERu network.

 

It is appropriate that one of the world's first e-Learning open
universities should claim the accolade of becoming Europe's first anchor
partner in our OERu international partnership.  The OERu is now
represented on five continents.

Hi everyone,

Am conducting some research on iPads in education, and was trailing the
upcoming course Ocl4e. Unfortunately the videos don't appear as they are
flash based. However a colleague alerted me to a free app rover - the
browser for education and using this when I view

hedule I can now get the video of Wayne.

Would be interested in feedback from others.

I hope this will allow even more people to have an enriched experience

 Am enjoying these mails. hats off to super Anil for his very

 College - the connotation is a 'degree' which we are not providing!!
 Academy - may be better because of the above reason, but maybe we 
 should spend some more time looking for alternates!!

 Dear Dr. Wayne and all other friends,

 It is very encouraging to note that we are unanimous in respect of

 Harbans ji with the US Community College system  and  Joyce has 
 cautioned with humor that the name is bound to confuse :) Therefore

 let us finalize a name through a rough consensus poll as Dr. Wayne 
 has suggested.

 Now we may give 10 days, ie upto May 10, 2012, for our WE friends 
 to suggest names as reply to this mail. Thereafter we will run a 
 rough consensus poll for another 7 days (ie from May 14 to 20, 
 2012) to select a name from the nominations.

 We have two nominations already:


- Open World College - from Patricia and
- WikiEducator Academy - from Dr. Wayne

 Hi friends, now please add your nominations as reply to this mail.

 Dr Wayne, in his reply, has given an additional reason for us to be

 more enthusiastic in this initiative I think there are also 
 exciting opportunities to explore formal accreditation options for 
 these training opportunities through the OERu network in

 This is a testament to our core community values of sharing

 The concept of WikiEducator Community College could be confused 
 with Community Colleges in the US -- so I guess it would be worth 
 exploring alternatives. Post a request to the community asking for

 Hi Patricia,

 Great to see international community collaboration in moving this idea
 forward.

 ** **

 I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to host the poll on
 WikiEducator. For two reasons:

 ** **

- We remain true to our community values associated with the free
cultural works definition and commitment to using free software.  (The
trouble with a Facebook poll is that the data will default to all 
 rights
reserved and will not be openly licensed and Facebook is non-free 
 software.)

- Hosting the poll on WikiEducator will ensure that we can keep an
accurate history of this important process.

 We have a poll widget on WikiEducator (see for example the current
 poll on design decisions for the OERu). 

 ** **

 Thanks for your initiative in setting up a poll -- but at the same
 time, lets consider walking the talk in terms of our open values for
 community initiatives ;-)

ring to it and is more academic. There are pros and cons in all names.

Dear Dr. Wayne and all other friends,

 

It is very encouraging to note that we are unanimous in respect of the
need and definitely we have to finalize a name that shall not make any
confusion. The name Community College has already confused Harbans ji
with the US Community College system  and  Joyce has cautioned with
humor that the name is bound to confuse :) Therefore let us finalize a
name through a rough consensus poll as Dr. Wayne has suggested.

 

Now we may give 10 days, ie upto May 10, 2012, for our WE friends to
suggest names as reply to this mail. Thereafter we will run a rough
consensus poll for another 7 days (ie from May 14 to 20, 2012) to select
a name from the nominations.

 

We have two nominations already:

 

*   Open World College - from Patricia and
*   WikiEducator Academy - from Dr. Wayne

Hi friends, now please add your nominations as reply to this mail. 

 

Dr Wayne, in his reply, has given an additional reason for us to be more
enthusiastic in this initiative I think there are also exciting
opportunities to explore formal accreditation options for these training
opportunities through the OERu network in conjunction with open badges
for selected initiatives.

 

Hurry up!!!

I think its an excellent idea to establish some form of WikiEducator

The concept of WikiEducator Community College could be confused with
Community Colleges in the US -- so I guess it would be worth exploring
alternatives. Post a request to the community asking for nominations and
you could run a rough consensus poll for choosing the name for this
initiative. I also think that when building a new volunteer community
focus like this, that formalizing the initiative too soon with Academic
Council elections etc may stall growth during the formative stages. That

Based on the thoughts and wiki conversations during the past week, I

Community College for our WikiEducator members and  those who aspire to

1.  The Objectives of the Community College Would be to:

1.  conduct L4C as a regular course
2.  conduct regular courses on Open Licensing
3.  provide regular mentoring and certification services for
wiki skills development
4.  provide opportunity to the community members to request
mentoring of experienced community memebrs
5.  provide facility for conducting pedagogical experiments/
run pilot courses for OERu implementation
6.  and more.

2.  The WE Community members having wiki skill certification of and
above the level of WikiBuddy can by option register as a Community
College

I have another thought, how about WikiEducator People's Academy, if this
is what the consensus will be? It could be replaced with Institute or
College as well.

 

Just brainstorming.

planning to add their nominations:

 

1.  Open World College 
2.  WikiEducator Open College 
3.  WikiEducator Academy

Am enjoying these mails. hats off to super Anil for his very thoughtful

College - the connotation is a 'degree' which we are not providing!!

Academy - may be better because of the above reason, but maybe we should
spend some more time looking for alternates!!

Hi Patricia,

 

Great to see international community collaboration in moving this idea
forward.

 

I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to host the poll on
WikiEducator. For two reasons:

 

*   We remain true to our community values associated with the free
cultural works definition and commitment to using free software.  (The
trouble with a Facebook poll is that the data will default to all rights
reserved and will not be openly licensed and Facebook is non-free
software.)
*   Hosting the poll on WikiEducator will ensure that we can keep an
accurate history of this important process.

We have a poll widget on WikiEducator (see for example the current poll
on design decisions for the OERu). 

 

Thanks for your initiative in setting up a poll -- but at the same time,
lets consider walking the talk in terms of our open values for community
initiatives ;-)

 

Cheers

Wayne

 Excellent work! Thank you very much for moving forward with the
 preparations for conducting the poll based on the nominations received.  I
 am also in favour of conducting the poll in WikiEducator using the poll
 widget as Dr. Wayne and you have discussed.  As per the tentative
 schedule announced earlier in the other discussion thread for nominations,
 we will run the current ‘Nomination Session’ till May 10, 2012’ and the 
 rough
 consensus poll from May 14 to 20, 2012.  I think it will give sufficient
 time for the idea to reach maximum number of community members and time for
 you to try poll widget.



 After the poll and selection of a name, we may create a WE work group to
 formulate the business procedure for this new community initiative. It will
 be nice to have all the contributors to this discussion thread and the main
 thread on nominations on board the WE work group as well.



 Go ahead and create the WE page for poll! – These are thrilling moments
 for our WE community! I will also be joining you and Dr.Wayne there.

I think it would be a great idea.  It might be an education center for
the academic advisers for the OER-u as well.   I am not sure about
calling it a community college though.  The term has a very specific
meaning in the US (community colleges comprise a whole sector of
post-secondary education here) and the term is bound to confuse American
educators...and we are confused easily enough as it is.  ;-)Joyce

Subject: [WikiEducator] Important milestone to achieve formal
accreditation for OER courses -- Design blueprints posted for comment

 

The OER university http://wikieducator.org/OER_university/Home  (OERu)
network compromising accredited universities, colleges and polytechnics
aims to provide free learning opportunities for all students worldwide
using courses based solely on OER with pathways for these learners to
acquire formal academic credit towards credible credentials.

 

The OERu anchor partners
http://wikieducator.org/OER_university/2011.11_Founding_OERTen_anchor_p
artner_statements  have shortlisted 8 university / college courses to
be developed as prototypes to be offered in the 2nd half of 2012:

 

*   College Composition (1st year-level course)
*   Art Appreciation and Techniques (1st year-level course and remix
of the Saylor Foundation / Washington State Open Course Library course)
*   Regional relations in Asia and the Pacific (1st year-level
course)
*   A Mathematical Journey (1st year-level course)
*   General and Applied Psychology (1st year-level course and remix
of the Saylor Foundation Introduction to Psychology Course)
*   Critical Reasoning  (2nd year-level course in Philosophy)
*   Why Sustainable Practice (1st year-level course)
*   Introduction to Management (1st year-level course and registered
with the New Zealand Quality Authority towards a national
qualification.) 

These courses will carry credit towards a Bachelor of General Studies --
the inaugural credential selected at the OERu 2011.11 meeting
http://wikieducator.org/OER_university/2011.11_OERu_Meeting_summary
of founding anchor partners.  The OERu network will be able to formerly
accredit OER learning in Africa, Asia, Oceania and North America.  

 

The OER Foundation http://wikieducator.org/OERF  uses open source
development approaches and we subscribe to radical transparency and open
governance. We conduct all business openly. We release early and
frequently. 

 

The first drafts of the design blueprints for the prototype have been
posted for feedback and improvement. You can help us to provide high
quality OER courses to achieve free learning for all students by helping
us improve the design and delivery model for these courses. You will
find links to the respective blueprints under the announcement section
on the prototype portal page
http://wikieducator.org/OER_university/Planning/OERu_2012_Prototype
and we welcome feedback from the OER community. Please post your
feedback on the corresponding Discussion tab in the wiki.

 

These prototype courses will help us to refine the delivery model for
the OERu network preparing for our formal launch in 2013.

 

All accredited post-secondary institutions are free to join the network.
See:  5 Things you should know about the OER university network plan
http://wikieducator.org/images/7/7d/OERu.pdf  .

 

The OERu is not theoretical speculation -- we are implementing the
model.

[WikiEducator] Something to consider getting involved in

2011-12-14 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Dear All

 

I don't normally do this, but Dr Ravi Limaye is new to WikiEducator, so
I am leading the way. Ravi wishes to undertake a Research study in Open
Learning with the following components:

a) Opinionnaire from Technical institutes and other stakeholders on
relevance, readiness for Open Education for states of Madhya pradesh,
Chattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Maharastra ( some sample institutes).

 

b) Study of Technical and Management Frameworks of existing Open
Universities.

 

c) Survey of Pedagogical approaches adopted in Instructional design.

 

If you would like to get involved, here is your opportunity:

Framework. A nice way to collaborate and team up for people with similar
interests

I am helping Mumbai University to create OER in WE. Am facing a few
problems:

 

1.  When we use the ref /ref  syntax it works on a normal page
i.e. on clicking the ref it connects to the references at the end of
page BUT when we use templates on the page, it doesn't.  See
http://wikieducator.org/Introduction_to_Cost_Concepts

 

2.  Am not able to access messages since the last week or so.

 

3.  While using templates on a page we seem to be able to edit using
only the EDIT button top of page - would like to break pages into
smaller pieces so that they can be edited ( we normally do this through
titling sections!!)  - how can this be done?

 

An early response would be useful!!  Thanks.

RE: [WikiEducator] Joint COL UNESCO OER Publications available on WikiEducator

2011-12-01 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Dear Anil,

 

In my personal view your suggestion, to want to develop a policy, to
prevent cc-by and cc-by-sa originals and derivatives from any changes,
would defeat the purpose of these copyright licenses, but I know what
you are saying. I also appreciate the fact that you want to differ
between an original version and an upgrade, so I suggest the following:

 

1.  We would as Wayne already suggested insert the link to a pdf
document, this way, keeping the original as is; and

2.  We could insert another Tab in the book template, to enable our
community to suggest changes under the book headers, by chapter. This
way, any changes can be documented, provided our editors enter them.
This would need to be monitored.

3.  Advantage: The book will be updated and added-value to.

 

Let me know what you think. Thanks, Anil

Cheers,

Patricia

Dear Dr. Wayne and Patricia,

Initially I also thought in the same lines, however on second thought I
felt that we may require policies to keep CC-BY or CC-BY-SA originals
and derivatives. Definitely it is not to limit the freedom, but purely
on research interest. Similarly, as we go on with OERu system, there
would be chances that some institutions in the network might request to
add their CC-BY of CC-BY-SA materials on WE with a provision to keep the
originals while giving all freedom for making derivative works- may be
due to resource constraint to maintain their own setup for hosting such
materials etc etc 

Moreover I think, once edited we may not be able to use descriptions
like  A joint COL-UNESCO OER Publication etc as we see in the header
template.

Hope my thoughts are not going wild :)

is free to put this book on their own 'watchlist', to monitor the

HI Anil,

I think it would be better to provide a clear link to the published
(non-editable) version.

The CC license permits editing and improvements so there is no need to
lock
editing in my view.

RE: [WikiEducator] Joint COL UNESCO OER Publications available on WikiEducator

2011-11-30 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Dear Anil,

Thanks for your comments. I agree with Wayne, given that the document was 
created as an open license publication, it can be edited, but anyone is free to 
put this book on their own 'watchlist', to monitor the editing done.

Cheers,
Patricia

HI Anil,

I think it would be better to provide a clear link to the published
(non-editable) version.

The CC license permits editing and improvements so there is no need to lock
editing in my view.

 One suggestion, as these are approved documents, we may place a template

RE: [WikiEducator] A small doubt about giving links to my learning resourses

2011-10-04 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Dear Balqis,

It has been wonderful to have you in the course and your user page
definitely shows how the skills you so quickly adapted and made it your
own.

WE would definitely be very interested in the Psychology, Educational
Psychology and English teaching materials for prospective teachers.
Thank you for wanting to freely share them with others. Would you let us
know what exactly they are, in what format they come, so we could take a
look at how this could be done.

You are not bound by the end of the current Learning4Content workshop.
To the contrary, you can always perfect your skills by repeating the
steps and following the introductions posted on our workshop home page
and the workshop schedule until you can demonstrate on your user page
that you have the skills, and apply for a certification upgrade (the
link on all information follows hereafter). There are certain
requirements you will have to fulfill to reach the next levels, please
see  here what they are: http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiMaster  and
there will be WikiEducators that will be able to certify you.

The WikiEducator tutorials have more tutorials than are taught in a
Newbie course, have a look here for more information:
http://wikieducator.org/Help:Contents. If you have questions you can
always call on any of your now WikiNeighbours for help.

Hope this helps
Warm wishes

Hello WE friends,
It's my pleasure to be a part of this wonderful and highly innovative
group of eminent educators .I have been giving free classes online in
areas of Psychology,Educational Psychology and English.I would like to
share those classes as a part of the free content /lesson plan that I
developed for WE.These classes are extremely useful for prospective
teachers and trainers in the field of education.I wanted to clear a
doubt whether I should provide the complete video lecture through
uploading it in to WE or is it ok to give the link to that website ?
   Although its the last minute of the workshop ,I really enjoyed
the editing and sharing platform of WE.I'm extremely thankful to my
facilitators who gave full support for newbies like me .
  I'm trying my best to attain higher competencies to reach the
Wikibuddy level . Is it possible for us to continue and practice higher
wiki skills after workshop ? Will there be a Wikimaster to certify and
approve our works later?
I hope to become a wikiambassader by giving online classes about wiki ?
Is it possible ?I would like to continue my efforts .

Dear Balqis,

Thank you so much for the proverbial flowers, but I couldn't have done
this without our wonderful team, which consisted of 

1. Dr. Michael Verhaart and Dr. Wayne Mackintosh from New Zealand
2. Gladys Gahona and Ben Stewart, from Mexico
3. Sebastian Panakal, Dr. K.S. Ramakrishna and Dr. Ramesh Sharma, from
India;

It is always an enriching experience well worse having, and this
workshop was very special since we were lucky to have almost 170 people
in 43 nations sign up.
The learning curve never ends and you can come back as often as you feel
the need. Once one realizes the potential and what you can do with it,
the opportunities are endless. There is always room for improvement, so
everybody is working tireless to make things better.

Our Wiki family of course already knows about this, but have a look
here, to see the latest developments, the Open Education Resource
University. The Open Education Resource Foundation (OERF) under which
WikiEducator comes is off to inspiring things with the support of many
global educational institutions. http://www.wikieducator.org/OERu

Warm wishes and 
thank you also in the name of our team

Subject: [WikiEducator] What Happens after last day of Workshop?

Hi everyone,
This was a wonderful workshop. I have the following queries:
1.  Can I take part in next workshop? Absolutely...you can take this
course as many times as you would like to. The announcements of new
workshops you can find here:
http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Registration
2.  Can I be a co-fascilitator? Sure you can, see here for more
information: http://wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Facilitators
3.  Can I start more courses? Could you be more specific? But
generally speaking, the answer is yes.
4.  When are the face to face workshops in India? Face-to-face
workshops are being planned by individual institutions in India not by
WE at this time. If you wanted to organize a workshop for your own
institution, feel free to do that. You might want to connect with
WikiEducator facilitators in your area such as Sebastian Panakal, and
Anil Prasad and others, to brainstorm on experiences with this. They are
part of this list, so they will see this email.
5.  If someone wants to promote the concept in colleges of the
region, how does he go about? You could look for like-minded people in
your area to help you and develop a strategy to target these colleges.
Generally, introduction courses work very well, to start with. I would
look within the WikiEducator India Chapter
(http://www.wikieducator.org/India) , to find your WikiAmbassadors, or
go with already established local clusters of WikiEducator, to carry you
further. Sebastian and Anil could be of help with information as both of
them are doing or have done this in their province.
6.  What is the logistic help? This would be your own
responsibility. WikiEducator calls itself lucky to have many
kind-spirited people to help each other out, and you would have to team
up with a group of people to collaborate, who would like to help you get
things done, or do it yourself. WE does not have admin on staff to help
with logistics. You would have to organize this.
7.  Can an online workshop be set for them with few facilitators?
New facilitators come in at any given time. The workshop will be carried
out by you or whoever is leading the workshop in collaboration with
those you have accepted as facilitators. I would recommend to create a
portal for your institution or your project initiative, and work from
there. This could be linked to the WE India chapter, so people can find
you.

However, our program is deliberately out of compliance with a great many

Hi Jackie,

You will have to create an account on WikiEducator first. See how to do that
under the workshop schedule pre-workshop activities under the link below.
Note your user id and password and put it somewhere where you will find it
again. If I may advise, bookmark the eL4C51 home page, our workshop page,
for easy access. Once you have created the account, following the steps, log
back in, register (link below again) and do not forget to SAVE your input,
otherwise the system will discard it. Let me know how it goes, and we can
work from there, should you have difficulties.

2011-09-01 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Dear Alison,

 

Thank you so much for coming through. I absolutely agree, I would use
the same approach as we have in the past given the need. So far however
we have enough facilitators for the 50 and counting participants. We
still have three more weeks to go before the start of the workshop, so
would appreciate if we can mobilise interested parties to come and join
us. Please help us spread the word and let's make this one count. It is
free after all.

Warm wishes

Patricia

Hi Patricia,

I am also available to help as a facilitator. In eL4C51, the use of
facilitator teams with each team assigned to work with a specific group
of participants worked well for me. I think I got to know some of the
participants in my group better than I might have if I were working with
the everyone. It seemed like it worked well for participants as well. If
the #'s of participants and facilitators is enough, it might be useful
to employ this structure again...matching people from opposing
timezones :)

Just a thought. I look forward to working with everyone.

Hi Ibrahim,

Thank you also to you for your offer. Right now we are fine with the
facilitators we have, but should the group get much larger, than we will
definitely call on you.

As for matching teams with facilitators, I agree, it makes a lot of sense to
work like that with large groups.

It is so nice to see the great amount of support coming from every corner of
the globe and again, I thank everyone for offering. The more participants
sign up, the more facilitators we will need.

Warm wishes
Patricia

 And I like Alison's idea of matching teams to Facilitators, with
 smaller groups, a more cooperative atmosphere will emerge.

Hi Ramesh, Good morning

I responded to your email, where WE was copied I see now. It should
actually go to both directly, WE first, then WTC. No worries. All good.

Thanks for doing this. I will look to see if I got it on WE

Hi Everyone,

As an open education resource project, we are committed to keeping our
content free. Our project is based on a culture of permissions -- where
creators of knowledge give us permission to share, reuse and adapt their
creative works. Microblogging is a great way to share thoughts and ideas
and to connect with your online social networks.

identi.ca is a free micro-blogging service which uses free software with
the added advantage that all content is licensed under a Creative

this content. 

The OER Foundation and WikiEducator are planning to integrate microblog
features in our free online courses. Kudos to Jim Tittsler, our lead
software engineer, who has developed an experimental widget to embed
live feeds based on hashtag searches from identi.ca.

We've set up a demo page for you to take a look and post something using
your identi.ca account (only if you have nice things to say about
WikiEducator :-)).

See:

All feedback and thoughts are most welcome.

2011 will be a quantum shift year for OER!

Re: [WikiEducator] abandoned pages with little or no content

2010-12-23 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Hi Fabiana and Alison,

Great comments and suggestions. I would like to add my comment as well.
While everybody is right, you come across pages with little or no content at
times, I would like to say that I think we need to differentiate between
user pages and project pages. Allison's suggestion regarding the {{stub}}
indication applies mostly to project pages. We do not have a stub category
for user pages, please correct me if I am wrong. Some users use {{WIP}}=
Work in Progress on their user page. Pages can be suggested for deletion
{{delete}} and WikiEd Admin will process it, but as these are user pages,
they can't just be deleted, so maybe what we should create is category for
those pages and whenever we come across a page where there is hardly any
content, we can flag it this way and collect them all under one category,
which is not taken the page from the actual user, if s/he wants to continue
using it at a later point. Just a suggestion.
Cheers,
Patricia

 In my random page visit through WE  I often come across pages that have

 One option would be to delete those pages.
 A second option could be to create an 'orphan' (or similar) category that
 could group the pages so that people looking for things to contribute could
 go to that aggregation and find topics that have not been fully developed.
 This last option could be nicely tied with the L4C workshops for example.
 Any suggestions as to how to deal with these?

2010-12-07 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Hi Jane,

Thanks for your mail. Hope you are well.

The link you provided is for the actual Culinary Education site on We. What
i meant was a subpage for your discussion, a project planning page, where
you transparently and openly conduct/exchange your ideas/collaborate until
you come to a consent, the wiki way. Do you want me to help you to set it
up? I'll be happy to do this. I could call this Project Planning page and it
could be another tab added to the existing ones, or just a subpage on the
home page. Up to you. Let me know.

You could use the discussion tab on the project page to have your
discussions, or work with headers on the project page separating the issues.
You will have to go to the 'edit' mode for any input on WE, so your partners
on the Wiki will automatically do this and it's no big deal. Maybe a
sub-page in your case would work best.

Cheers,
Patricia

were an integral part of teaching and learning about nutrition and how
it affects our health, both positively and negatively, as well as how

Hi Jane,

I also think its worth thinking about ways in which OERs like this can
be integrated into formal teaching, for example the different schools of
Catering and hospitality in the New Zealand Polytechnic sector.

As Otago Polytechnic has a default Creative Commons Attribution
licensing policy and strong commitment to OER -- I think this is worth
exploring as well.

 Just recently a few months ago there was another culinary expert, I

You
 can make the site whatever you want it to be, because we are an open

direction and
 go for it. The site could have several components with different
people
 working on different goals. If you want to take the lead, feel free.
What
 you will find that goat keeping and all that is involved will find

 in Africa and Asia and there again you will find others to help you.
This is
 the beauty of collaboration. The initial challenge is to find

Collaboration
 Portal as well. Some 1000+ people are on this site and I am sure it
will
 open up other avenues. I can subsribe you to the site, if you would
like.

 You will find the WikiEducator community very generous in giving time
and
 effort which is why we are all here, so the sky is the limit.

 My suggestion would be to create project page, maybe a subpage of the
 existing Cullinary Education site, which you invite people to
contribute,
 calling for team members, and announcing this on the discussion
forums,
 develop a concept note, a project plan, goals and targets, tutorials
etc. It
 has been done with other projects successfull. Collaboration is one of
 WikiEducator's strong points and if you take your skills and apply
them to
 what needs to be done, you will end up with a very sustainable project
that
 can be used by everyone.

 We an open transparent, open online community, so all is done out in
the
 open. You will also find that people will join you along the way which
is
 always very helpful and maybe you will come out with materials that
can be
 taught on WikiEducator, which is useful to many more than you envision
right
 now.

 When you believe in the cause of an undertaking, your beliefs will
become
 your thoughts, your thoughts will become your action and your action
will
 become your passion. Consequently, your passion is not work but the

 of satisfaction, fulfilment and and joy, it is really up to you.

 A bit about my background. Chef and hospitality training for 3 years
 in England; I was very fortunate to go to the 2nd best training site
 [at that time] in the UK, and worked with some inspired people, 2 of
 which authored the texts used for training for over 20 years. Lots of
 work opportunities around the UK both during term time and in holiday
 breaks. Then to Marks and Spencer Ltd, then the byword in corporate
 training, to enter Catering Management and take on various small and
 large sites, that meant small and large stores, ending up at the No 2
 store at that time, and involved in corporate catering as well as
 industrial and store management. On emigration to NZ I worked in the
 hospo industry for while and then entered tertiary education
 designing, teaching, assessing and moderating chefing, front of house
 and other things. Onto national training advisor for the industry and
 then to a new city and parent hood and combining similar work with
 raising kids. More recently I have set up the Modern Apprenticeship
 scheme and Adult Community Education scheme in my city for my then
 employer. As part of my new business I will provide work place
 assessment.

 My thoughts on the above Project.

 I understand this project is in its infancy and that is such a good
 time to get involved. You may have read media coverage of the increase
 in interest of food grown and cooked locally, but informed by
 international nutritional knowledge. We are all aware of water
 scarcity and the regular stress large communities are put under by
 natural disasters. Whilst this project can deal with all this I think
 it would be worth while discussing linking organiponica based

2010-11-25 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Hi Leo,

It is a startup project intended to teach culinary skills, right now there
are only a selection of recipes, some with pictures showing the reader how
to cook/make  things. There is no curriculum or there are no course
materials yet that could for instance be adapted to make it fit for the
wiki, but this is something interested parties could get together on and
develop for the use by everyone, on WikiEducator. you can take the site and
make it into what people decide it should be.

Warm wishes,

[WikiEducator] RE: [WE Teacher Collaboration] How can I help

2010-10-13 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Dear Connie,

Thank you for your email. I am usually very good with names, so I do remember 
you being part of the L4C workshops at some point. What you are referring to is 
our Learning contract. While we like to see our participants taking up the 
challenge, we won't hold you to it, if you don't, so WE appreciate you coming 
back and asking how you could help. There are many ways in which you can get 
involved in our community, either as active member and you would be 
contributing this way, by helping out and being a good WikiAmbassador or 
WikiNeighbour (http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiNeighbour and 
http://www.wikieducator.org/Ambassador ), by developing a OER resource such as 
a teachers handout, a student guide, a lesson plan whatever you feel 
comfortable with or by being on a team with people who collaboratively are 
developing a resource or project. The choice is yours.

It would be interesting to know what professional background you have and what 
you could bring to WE in terms of expertise. This might help identify a project 
you could get involved in.

Upon return email to both addresses above, I am calling out to our WikiEducator 
family, to let Connie know, where she could apply her expertise and be of some 
assistance.

Warm wishes,
Patricia

Re: [WikiEducator] Improving the look and feel of WikiEducator --- Changing to the Vector Skin

Hi Wayne

I followed the steps and found that after some initial hickups, this works
fine. I couldn't find anything that didn't resolve when I retried it again
and repeated the steps. Initially the intro video became off center, so I
went back, switching from Monobook to Vector Skin and reversed, to see if
the problem would reoccur, it didn't. Seems fine to me so far.

 Hi Everyone,

 For some time we've been thinking about changing the default skin (the look
 and feel of the WikiEducator site - see:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Skin).

 The Wikimedia Foundation have conducted extensive usability research
 resulting in the development of the new Vector skin. The Vector skin has
 removed much of the clutter of the standard Monobook skin (the current
 default skin you see on WikiEducator.) You've gotta love the open source
 model -- together we all benefit from collaborative improvements.

 You can preview the new Vector skin by:


- Visiting the Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Pagewebsite
(unless you log in to Wikipedia and have another skin as your default)
- Changing your preferences to use the Vector skin in WikiEducator (see
below).

 In practice this decision will mean that the default skin will change to
 the Vector skin. (This will not effect the user preferences of existing
 users who prefer to use a different skin.)

 *How you can help*


- Over the next two weeks, we request that users (especially our
advanced editors) test the new Vector skin and let us know by return post 
 to
this list if you're experience any problems. Instructions for changing the
skin are provided below.
- We will need a little help to revise any screenshots based on the old
skin. Please let me know if you can help out with changing the existing
screenshots.

 Assuming there are no major objections or problems resulting from out test
 period above, I propose that we change our default skin on WikiEducator to
 Vector.

 *How to change your skin and assist with testing*


- Login to WikiEducator
- Go to My preferences
- Click on the Skin tab
- Select the Vector option
- Click on Save.

 I think the new skin will have considerable benefits for newbies joining
 our project.

 Cheers

Hi Everyone,

The OER Foundation has scheduled a number of webinars in celebration of
Open Access Week 2010 which will run from 18 to 22 October. Join our
community in promoting the adoption and implementation of open access
resources to support teaching, learning and research in education. 

See: http://wikieducator.org/OERF:Open_Access_Week_2010

This is a significant initiative which aims to nurture the development
of sustainable open ecosystems, most notably closer international
collaboration between the open access and OER movements. The OER
Foundation will also announce the launch of an exciting new project to
coincide with Open Access Week 2010. 

By registering http://wikieducator.org/OERF:Open_Access_Week_2010
your attendance at one or more of the webinars, we will send an email
reminder the day before each session. Participants will have the
opportunity to interact with OER leaders and practitioners during these
live web conferencing events. 

Please spread the word through your networks. We attach a poster you can
use to promote the event.

Don't be missed by your absence :-)

Cheers
Wayne

Re: [WikiEducator] New Learning4Content free online training workshop

2010-09-19 Thread Patricia Schlicht
Dear Gene,
You are very well known to me, reading your comments and sharing your
thoughts on the WikiEducator main list.

I command you for not giving up and coming back into taking the course
especially now that you have offered to help with content development to
Wayne.

Believe me, you can do it, like so many 1000s of people before you have
managed this process. It is not so difficult once you really understand how
it works.

So here it goes:
As you are on the discussion forum, you must have a WikiEducator user id
with which you log in. NOT your password, that you keep to yourself, but
when you click on the link I am going to give you below, please log in and
all and register yourself for the next course:
http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/eL4C45/Register

using your USER ID, the one you log yourself in with by mentioning it under
Wiki ID. Please ensure it is exactly done in the same way you have initially
registered yourself with, so capital letters or small letters are important,
because it will bring up your page on WikiEducator (WE) and we can take it
from there.

You will be added to the participants list on the workshop homepage (see
below) and you should check if you were successful registering yourself,
which  you are if your name appears at the bottom *after* the table. The
facilitators will input it into the table. You then only need to follow the
instructions. Read carefully and ask many questions if you don't understand.
Of course you can come back to me, but your facilitator for the next course
is Benjamin Stewart or Nadia El Borai. Ben is the lead facilitator and can
be reached at bnl...@gmail.com

Do this soonest, as instructions are going to be posted soon that will reach
you two fold:
1) via the Moodle Discussion forum directly coming to your email inbox
2) they are going to be posted on the eL4C45 workshop hompage at
http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/eL4C45/Home

i recommend you bookmark this page and put this on your desktop? Do you know
how to do this. It is easy. Just open the page. When open go to the toolbar
and open the tab called File - the first tab on the toolbar at the top.
You will see a sub-tab called sent to, go there and choose Desktop. The
system will now sent the page you have open to your desktop.

If you check your desktop, the icon for the eL4C45 workshop is at the tip of
your fingertips on your desktop.

Hope this helps you for now.
Warm wishes
Patricia

 You will have to have patience. The volunteers working there are quite
 busy. WE understands your eagerness.

 It is worth waiting for.

 As they say there is no wanting without waiting. Besides, instant

Thanks everyone for all those lovely words.Isaac Newton said 'If I
have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of
giants.' Not that my achievement is very great but it is surely
standing on the shoulders of some giants, especially my facilitators
of my first workshop, Gita Mathur and Patricia. So thanks to all at WE
for the wondeful spirit that WE share.

Re: [WikiEducator] THINKaha and College Open Textbooks: Support OER Friendly publishers!

2010-09-14 Thread Patricia Schlicht
This is really good news! and I salute HappyAbout for their openness, ethics
and integrity! OER rock
Cheers,
Patricia

 Hi Everyone,

 Today is reason to celebrate and commend OER friendly publishers! The OER
 Foundation commends 
 THINKahahttp://www.happyabout.com/thinkaha/opentextbooktweet01.phpand the 
 Community
 College Open Textbook Collaborative http://collegeopentextbooks.org/ for
 doing the right thing.

 Yesterday I was sad because of an oversight where my contribution to a
 great text was not licensed under a free cultural works approved license.
 Today I am happy!  Mitch Levy http://www.happyabout.com/about.php, CEO
 of Happy About and THINKaha publishers scheduled a Skype conference with me
 yesterday evening to discuss a fix to this licensing oversight. I'm happy to
 report that the team at THINKaha worked through the night and posted a
 copyright notification amendment that the forward of the text is licensed
 under a CC-BY-SA license.

 Moreover, Happy About and ThINKaha publishers have released a CC-BY-SA
 electronic version of the text available on 
 WikiEducatorhttp://wikieducator.org/Open_Textbook_Tweet,
 which is now licensed under a free cultural works approved license :-).

 I strongly recommend that you consider purchasing a hard copy of Open
 Textbook Tweet: Driving Awareness and Adoption of Open 
 Textbookshttp://www.happyabout.com/thinkaha/opentextbooktweet01.php.
 This is an important juncture in our history of OER. Collectively we should
 support the foresight of an innovative publisher and the Community College
 Textbook Collaborative in seeing the potential of the open web and OER
 publishing.

 If you are looking for an OER friendly publisher -- I suggest you contact
 the Happy About http://www.happyabout.com/about.php team.

 *Thoughts on how can publishers earn a living in the (F)OER world?*

 Many publishers moving into OER markets protect their products and markets
 by restricting other publishers from selling the same text by applying the
 non-commercial restriction. This is a traditional and old-style business
 model which does not recognise the potential and opportunities of the open
 web and free (libre) content licensing. Publishers typically make an upfront
 investment and they recoup their investment through the sales of the text.
 By limiting other publishers from distributing and publishing the same text,
 the publisher who has taken the risk with upfront investment has greater
 control of the selling price and distribution rights to the text.

 The Free (Libre) and Open Resources for Education (FORE) movement advocates
 against the non-commercial restriction, because we believe in the essential
 freedoms and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with regards to the
 right of individuals to earn a living. A publisher in Uganda should have the
 freedom to publish and distribute FORE and not be restricted from doing so
 because a publisher, for instance in the USA, has applied a non-commercial
 restriction on the text. OER should not be the reason for restricting anyone
 from earning a living.

 So how do we overcome the business dilemma for publishers in managing the
 risks associated with the upfront investment for a new OER text in an
 uncertain market? The solution requires us to tweak the business model by
 removing the need (and risk) for upfront investment by the publisher.

 The majority of educators working in the formal education sector are
 effectively paid by taxpayer dollars. There are a number of education
 institutions, governments and non-profits which are shifting intellectual
 policies to adopt free cultural works approved licences (for instance Otago
 Polytechnichttp://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic:_An_IP_policy_for_the_times,
 New Zealand, the 
 Wikiwijshttp://wikiwijsinhetonderwijs.nl/over-wikiwijs/english/,
 Dutch Ministry of Education, Washington State Board for Community and
 Technical Colleges http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/22712,
 BCcampus http://wikieducator.org/BCcampus/Case_study, Canada, 
 NZGOAhttp://www.e.govt.nz/policy/nzgoalL,
 New Zealand etc.). As the OER movement grows, this represents a huge
 development resource for authoring and creating FORE.  Educators can develop
 and release materials under free cultural works approved licenses.
 Non-profit communities like WikiEducator, the Community College Open
 Textbook Collaborative, OCWC, Connexions etc can help co-ordinate and
 determine development priorities. Innovative wiki == 
 printhttp://wikieducator.org/WikiPublishingtechnologies and platforms like 
 Connexions have the capabilities to produce
 customised open textbooks based on a model of mass-customisation (as opposed
 to mass standardisation).

 So for example, a school or tertiary education institution may compile
 their own unique study guide or open text book from texts in WIkiEducator
 using the book collection

Hi Everbody/Dear Savithri,

 

I need to correct a small misperception. User pages are suggestions that
come from the community to Nellie and I. While we of course spot them
too, mostly they are recommendations from our Wiki friends that reach us
for consideration for the Awards. Thanks in any case!

 

Warm wishes,
