Happy New Year to all.
I read with interest this discussion. When I read the request of
Gladys Gahona (excellent work by the way and congratulations), I
remembered this site http://www.khanacademy.org/ using youtube to
explain maths. The level of the student is very important.
There is a lot of ma
Yep, sure is!

Wayne,
I would like to have an index similar to a glossary of terms so that people
can find what they are looking for on WE.

Hi Nellie -
Wow that was fast!!!
Thinking out loud here From my perspective a WikiEducator glossary
should:
1. Define/describe the concepts we typically use in our community
discussions, eg "free content", "community values" etc.
2. For me a glossary is a short description of the concepts
Thank you, Wayne,

Hi Nellie --
No worries :-). I've made a humble start describing the following terms:
Values (http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator/Glossary/V ) and
Free content (http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator/Glossary/F )
Still very much work in progress and WE still have lots of work to do.

Wayne,
I would love to start using it as soon as it is available, is what I meant
to say.

Hi Nellie --
Its a wiki -- go for it :-)
I believe you can start populating the glossary here:

The goal of any glossary developed in WE should be to serve as a
common source of brief definitions and comments for the terms used
in a project, so every reader can better understand the meaning of
the words used .
The comment of Jim Kelly is absolutely important. Yesterday, when I

Leigh,
I'm with you on all this. And given the UNESCO education for all (EFA)
initiative I'd like to see WikiEducator go full on with a fair use
approach, particularly for the curriculum that fell within EFA. I
believe a legal challenge of content used within this EFA realm would
have a hard time
Hi All,
I think that there are multiple motivations as to why one might want to
consider developing a glossary.
That being said, it's high time that we had a place where some of the terms
used (er, thrown around) in WikiEducator, have a place for 'definition'.

To design a useful dictionary and one that can be a platform (no
quotes) for developing materials you need to consider the age level of
the learner (as you noted). While the word “triangle” is used on every
age level’s math learning materials, its meaning progressively changes
as the learner ages.
Hey Steve, so you do!
In the opening paragraph of your article you say something that I think
needs closer attention, and which is something I know Minhaaj has been
stoking:
"These licenses depend on copyright to work..."
Copyright seems to be only of use to institutions, yet copyright is
obviou

I'd like to ask about the goals of this endeavor, just to clarify style and
content needs. I use Wolfram's MathWorld for my math dictionary. It's
imperfect because it's not pedagogically sound: the definitions don't have
newbie-friendly versions or enough connections to other areas of human life.

Happy New Year to Savithri and to all. Your card was very beautiful.
For what it's worth, I'm still hopeful that even as the world noisily
takes two steps back it also in other ways quietly takes three steps
forward.
