Hi Wayne,
The Kenya e-Learning must be great! Many of us look forward to
participating. It would have been wonderful  seeing you there.
Am happy that SP4Ed is asynchronous and there's flexibility in
participating.  I hope to join in at some point.
Best regards,

 Hi Elizabeth,

 won't be able to attend :-(

 Unfortunately -- we can't change the dates for the Scenario Planning for
 Educators http://wikieducator.org/SP4Ed (SP4Ed) course - -there are
 already participants from +20 countries and the course is running in
 parallel mode with a scheduled post-graduate course at the University of
 Canterbury in New Zealand. (SP4Ed participants will be joining postgraduate
 students at the University of Canterbury for this free online course as
 part of their studies -- should be fun.)

 The SP4Ed course materials are designed for asynchronous delivery - so
 attendees at the e-Learning Kenya will be able to register and participate.
 All materials are accessible online and participants can work through the
 materials at times which are convenient for their own schedules.

 I provide more details below including a link to a poster which you can

  (SP4Ed) is a free micro Open Online Learning Course (mOOC) offered by
 the e-Learning Research Lab at the University of Canterbury in
 collaboration with the OER Foundation. This two week course will simulate
 the scenario planning process for navigating uncertain education futures. 
 Register

 This is an important prototype for the OERu network. The University of
 Canterbury is the first OERu partner to be offering a mOOC in parallel mode
 as a subcomponent of the  postgraduate course *Change with Digital
 Technologies in Education*.  This will offer our network the opportunity
 to experiment with the technologies and challenges associated with running
 a course within an institutional learning management system in parallel
 with the open version hosted on WikiEducator. We will be trialling the
 integration of LMS hosted discussion forums with the public interaction

Hi Everyone,

In the past we've received requests from many community members to implement 
the functionality to embed links to video hosted on third party sites (eg 
Youtube, BlipTV Vimeo etc). Now that WikiEducator is hosted independently by 
the OER Foundation, we have more flexibility and autonomy to take a community 
decision concerning on third party video. 


Do WikiEducators want the ability to embed links to video clips?
What is the best way for us to take this decision? 

Should we have a trial period to see how this works? 
We need and invite your feedback -- so please post your replies to this list.  
We will consider all feedback posted over the next two weeks, before deciding 
on the next steps. Apology for the long email -- but I provide some discussion 
points below. Third party video is not a simple matter when it comes to the 
values and meaning of freedom as interpreted by our community values. 

Discussion

Embedding video is not a simple question of turning a switch to enable links to 
third party hosted video. Technically speaking, this is relatively easy to 
achieve. However,  there are many issues associated with digital video and our 
core values of the WikiEducator project which we need to consider, most notably 
the essential freedoms.

WE subscribe to the free cultural works definition and WE need to find a 
solution which aligns with what we believe as a community OER project. I've 
been sound boarding a few ideas with colleagues and friends and would 
appreciate your input and feedback on a few baseline requirements and 
suggestions. 


Licensing.  We must be able to identify and search for appropriately licensed 
video content. This is to ensure that video content we embed adheres to the 
requirements of the definition of free cultural works. In practice this means 
we can only use video hosting sites which clearly tag their video content with 
the relevant copyright license as well as corresponding search functionality to 
identify resources which are appropriately licensed (eg. CC-0, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, 
GFDL and the public domain declaration), Therefore,  Youtube (for example) 
would not meet this requirement as their existing conditions of service would 
not enable the implementation of license tagging. Currently WIkiEducator users 
would not be able to differentiate openly licensed videos from all rights 
reserved content. However, BlipTV allows users to choose from a number of 
Creative Commons licenses to apply to their work, and videos are searchable by 
license. This would enable
 WIkiEducators to use the Creative Commons search 
(http://search.creativecommons.org/) facility to easily identify appropriately 
licensed video on BlipTV.

Open file formats. This is a requirement to ensure that our content is stored 
and accessible in formats which can be edited using free/open source software. 
In addition this means that source files should be available for download. No 
WikiEducator should be forced to purchase a license for non-free software in 
order to remix and create a derivative work from our site. Most video sites 
(with the exception, for instance, of the Wikimedia Commons) encode video for 
web delivery using the Flash Video Format (flv) which is a proprietary file 
format. BlipTV provide a service for their registered users who also have an 
account with the Internet Archive (http://blip.tv/prefs/archiveorg/ ). In short

this facility enables archiving of downloadable video files including the open 
file format (ogg Theora). Therefore, WikiEducator users who upload video files 
to BlipTV could register for the Internet Archive service making it easier for 
educators to download video in
 the formats of their choice for remix purposes. However, this feature would 
not solve the problem of open file formats for the video uploaded by BlipTV 
users who do not register for the Internet Archive service.  Fortunately BlipTV 
provides the functionality to download the video files, even though these are 
generally supplied in the flv (proprietary file format). The open source FFmpeg 
project (http://www.ffmpeg.org/) provides tools to convert flv files into open

 You can mix list types as in your example below but not using the rich text

 Hi Rob,

 Thanks for the feedback and testing.
 Well spotted :-).

 I see that the editor does a good job of displaying nested bullet lists that
 were created using normal wiki syntax. I agree, this would be a good feature
 to have.  We'll take a look and see whether we can scope this as part of the

 improvements we're think about under the NZ Ministry of Education work for
 OERNZ.

 you
 have issues by the close of business tomorrow. For information on our
 migration to rich editing, see:

 http://wikieducator.org/Scheduled_outage_to_implement_Rich_Text_Editor

 Scheduled outage

 To enable this migration and important software updates on the WE
 servers we have scheduled an outage starting on Saturday 6 February
 20:00
 UTC. Check the start times in your region here:



 http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=7month=2year=2010hour=9min=0sec=0p1=22

 Visitors to the WE site will have read only access --- you won't be
 able
 to edit pages. We have planned this outage to coincide with the weekend
 for
 most users around the world.  We anticipate that the migration will
 take
 between 5 - 6 hours, however in the event of any unforeseen problems
 the
 outage may be longer.

 With rich editing -- 2010 is going to be an amazing year for OER!

Seems like a useful resource. One can download it (I
haven’t managed yet because I live in a bandwidth poor country). 

   

Interested in feedback from anyone using it. I am thinking it
might be very useful in countries where most (usually rural) schools have no or
limited Internet access. I am aware that one can get Wikipedia on DVD in
various forms but the accessibility of this one seems very attractive.

Dear Jesse,
I know about web pages in terms of pages and sub-pages i.e parent, children, 
grandchildren etc. and can generate a structure for this. I have read your 
write up and am signing in hoping to learn more about categories along the way. 
I am not sure that I really understand everything about categories.

Hi all!



There's another workgroup a-brewin' down on the wiki!  This one is about 
categories; yes, dreadful fun, I know.  Before I talk about the workgroup, I'd 
like to introduce you to the concept, and the rationale behind their use.

What are categories?

A category is just what it sounds like: a method of grouping pages according to 
their content.  Categories also work with parent-child connections in the same 
way that subpages do.  The category you put a page in will actually be a 
subcategory of another.  A category system will have many levels within it.  
Where the category system gets even more useful than the subpage system is in 
the number of relationships that can be defined by it.  While a subpage can 
only have one parent page, any page or category can be in as many categories as 
we like.  This is where the mediawiki software becomes genius in its use of 
virtual reality; even though there exists only one document, at a single url, 
it can be found and related to other documents in any number of ways.  This 
creates a powerful browseability that is trumped only by the searchability of 
the SemanticWiki extension, which involves a steep learning curve.  

Why categories?

The category system is a built-in method of organising content far better than 
the subpage system method.  It creates relationships between content that 
cannot be defined by subpages, making it easier for members to move from page 
to page and between related information.  Want to know what other projects 
there are on astrophysics?  The category system will tell you that.  Want to be 
able to find all the resources from Otago Poly-Tech easily?  Curious about what 
10 year old children are learning elsewhere in the world? The category system 
allows for these.  Using the category system is preferred over contents pages 
because it requires far less effort from members to keep current.  To add a 
page to a category, one never has to leave the page, itself! 

The other key factor for categorising pages is a concept called search engine 
optimisation (SEO).  You may have heard of this if you are in any way involved 
with web publishing.  I'm not going to explain SEO, but I will tell you the 
point of it is to increase readership organically (they come to us, we don't 
market directly to them).  This is done by appealing to the formulas Google and 
other search engines use to determine who goes at the top of any search list.  
The thing is, if there aren't any links to your page, Google never sees it!  
Categories create a link-based map of the website, allowing Google's programs 
to see each page that has a category.

The workgroup

Sounds great, right?  Well, WE's category structure is a bit out of shape at 
the moment.  For example, about 30% of the categories used don't actually 
exist, yet; there are a handful of central/root/contents categories, none of 
which go deeper than a few levels; there are (as I write this) 12,200 
uncategorised pages out of 68,992 total, or about 15%; and most of the existing 
categories aren't connected to any other category.

So, Alison Snieckus and I have seeded a workgroup to get WE's category system 
in tip-top shape, as well as working to educate WE members on categories and 
advise the style guidelines workgroup on guidelines that affect category 
usage.  We're still organising the group, and there are some tasks to be done, 
and we could use your help with both!  WE would really benefit from your 
opinions and ideas, so please stop by ( 
http://www.wikieducator.org/Workgroup:Categories ) and sign up.  There are lots 
of informational links, and it isn't necessary you be an expert on wikis or the 
category system to take part, but you might find you know a lot more when we're 
all done.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here, or on the 
workgroup talk pages.  As with the style guide workgroup, membership isn't 
required to participate in discussions, it just helps us to know who wants to 
be involved so we can give them credit and to make sure everyone has
 something to do to help.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Jesse

Sorry for cross-posting
 
2,500 Pacific workers will spend six months in Australia
NUKUALOFA, Tonga (Matangi Tonga , Nov. 16, 2008) – Some 800 Tongan Seasonal 
Workers will leave Tonga to work in the Australian horticultural industry in 
July 2009.
The Minister for Labour, Commerce and Industries, Hon. Lisiate 'Akolo said on 
November 11 that the Tongan workers, ranged in age from 21 to 45 years old 
would find employment in Swan Hill, Victoria and in Griffith, New South Wales, 
picking almonds, onions, potatoes and other produce. 
He said that a Memorandum of Understanding would be signed between the four 
Pacific Island countries, Tonga, Kiribati, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea, with 
Australia either on November 25-26 in Canberra.
At this initial state of the Pacific Seasonal Worker Pilot Scheme a total of 
2,500 workers will be allowed into Australia for seven months. Tonga and 
Vanuatu holds the highest quota of 800 each, Papua New Guinea 650 and Kiribati 
250.
Hon. Lisiate 'Akolo said that seasonal workers who had worked under the New 
Zealand Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Scheme would not be eligible for the 
Australian Work Scheme. He also hoped that under the Australian scheme people 
from the outer islands, Vava'u, Ha'apai, 'Eua and the two Niuas would be given 
the first option. 
Under the RSE scheme 70% of the workers had been selected from Tongatapu, so 
now we want to help the people in the outer islands who are facing more 
hardships than those in the main island and give them the same opportunity. 
The Australian Government announced the new scheme in August this year.

 I use Open Office to create tables. Open Office has an
 export to media wiki.

  Thanks Rob...
 
  That's an easier table to use...

   Hi Liz,
  
   WE is running a simple table extension (formerly
 called tabbeddata)
   that makes it simpler to add data to
 a table.
  
   To make a table that uses commas for separating
 columns and return
   for the rows, try:
  
   tab sep=comma
   Hi, Hello, Yes
   Bye, Good Night, No
   /tab
  
   You can find more information on the syntax and
 examples at:

Yes, but networks are organic and fluid,
 focus ebbs and
flows. so
sometimes putting energy into keeping
 something relevant
and strong is
like paddling a canoe up stream. Turn
 the damn thing
around, let the
node die... Don't forget the long
 tail is forever... So
20 years from
now any resource could again become
 popular or through time
this
thread could be referenced many times...

  Leigh,
  
  I get your point. And I do

  I also get your point about
 items that connect

that Lawrence Lessig at

 considered a node
evangelizing the benefits

 at one time a small

  together a photo sharing site
 (there were a
group). Linux at one time
  was an individual project...
 So could it be that
all nodes or conduit

 individuals or small
groups... I seek an example
  where a network just appeared
 without it first
being started by a
  small group or individual...

This same networking of information and
 people can happen inside a single
platform such as Wikieducator - but I would
 question its capacities if it
where only inside Wikied.
 
Things that make the networked
 mission succeed: Using digital formats
published openly online. Use of CC By to
 unrestrict reuse and sampling (I
suspect copyright will be a thing of the
 past in the not too distant
   future,
if Google's approach to it is anything
 to go by).
 
Trappings that can undo the flexibility of a
 network: Prescribing certain
practices - such as CC By, Open Format
 Standards or Open Source Software
   (as
much as I appreciate their worth, the loss
 in potential connections is
   too
great if we insist on these too much). Not
 facilitating mashup
   practices
(embedding 3rd party media). Centralising
 services. Policies that police,
and so on.

 Though, I do believe a network
