[WikiEducator] Re: WE ambassador
Dear Shekhar, Although we use Moodle as our platform rather than WE, Peoples-uni (http://peoples-uni.org) does have an online module called Disaster Management and Emergency Planning, amongst our other modules for Public Health capacity building in developing countries (Wayne is a member of our International Advisory Group). We would be delighted to make this available in any context that it can be useful. Best wishes.

Re: [WikiEducator] Re: WE ambassador
Thank you Wayne, Savithri, Randy and Dick you have recharged my batteries. So far I have been a humble volunteer with a desire to get trained enough to be a first responder and with a passion for the cause. Now I am prepared to get involved in more seriousness with the help of eminent educators like you to make our OER project a big success to help communities across the globe. I will try to be a good student.

Re: [WikiEducator] Re: WE ambassador
Hi Shekhar, I suggest that you consider creating a Disaster Management portal page for developing OER on this important theme. Keep the main list posted on what you're trying to do. Here are some instructions on how to create a portal page on WikiEducator: http://wikieducator.org/Create_and_institutional_OER_portal_page (Instead of an institution - -create your hub around Disaster Management or something similar. A good starting point could be a search to find out if there are any existing OERs on the theme (Licensed as CC-BY or CC-BY-SA). WIth your passion and significance of the this topic - -I'm sure that WE can build a thriving hub. Keep up the good work!

Hi Randy, I recall the development -- but sadly the materials don't meet the requirements of the free cultural works definition :-(. So we can't use the materials -- However, the course contents provide a good framework and it would be great is our community could create a free (libre) version for the world to share!

Keep the main list posted on what you're trying to do. Here are some instructions on how to create a portal page on WikiEducator: http://wikieducator.org/Create_and_institutional_OER_portal_page (Instead of an institution - -create your hub around Disaster Management or something similar. A good starting point could be a search to find out if there are any existing OERs on the theme (Licensed as CC-BY or CC-BY-SA). WIth your passion and significance of the this topic - -I'm sure that WE can build a thriving hub. Keep up the good work!
