[WikiEducator] Re: What are the indicators of a healthy wiki environment?

As a suggestion maybe.. what about a "page of the month" project. It only celebrates a few pages, without a site wide application of quality indicators. The page of the month isn't necessarily determined by quality, but rather is only meant to draw focus on different projects by interviewing the pe

[WikiEducator] Re: What are the indicators of a healthy wiki environment?

I am coming into the quality discussion late. I have tried to read all the threads here and in the wiki. I don't think I have see a comment along these lines: A quality indication on works leads me and others to wonder "who's quality". It's an obvious comment really, and I'm sure it has been menti

[WikiEducator] problem with PDF generator and tables

Hello, Not sure if this has been logged already or not, but I'm having a problem with this page: http://www.wikieducator.org/Designing_for_flexible_learning_practice/Assessment When I generate a PDF from it, the tables are not quite right. I suspect that the merged cell in the top row of the tabl

[WikiEducator] Re: What are the indicators of a healthy wiki environment?

Hi Leo, These are good examples of the kinds of processes that should be incorporated into our evolving capability maturity model for WE. These are the key processes that will help us in building the quality we are striving for. I think that the challenge we are going to face is related to the

[WikiEducator] Re: What are the indicators of a healthy wiki environment?

Hi Peter and Leo Good discussion -- although I think we may be talking cross purposes here? That is saying the same thing from different perspectives. I think the extent that content is reused and recontextualised is an excellent of the health of our community. You're right -- the measure of th

Wayne, I believe we are trying to push into new ground. That of measuring the quality of wiki based OER. And I like that Leo agreed, reuse and recontextualization is most important. I also believe that the only people who can measure the health of a Grade 7 geography lesson for Pakistan are the p

[WikiEducator] Re: Displaying links at WE with print in mind

Hi Seth, For the benefit of the list, our current implementation of wiki ==> print enables us to specify print specific templates. Therefore {{Template:Foo}} will render normally on WE, however {{Template:Foo_print}} can be used to specify print specific rendering. So if you want to remove {{Tem

[WikiEducator] Re: What are the indicators of a healthy wiki environment?

Hi Peter, Thanks for starting this thread --- these are tough and challenging questions. I think we need to think about whose temperature we're measuring . Is it the content or is it the community. So when we're talking about the health of the WE OER community -- this is something different from

[WikiEducator] Re: question OERs ? Cute Kitten Syndrome

Hi Leo, OCW is an impressive project by virtue of MITs involvement. They were certainly a landmark project in the global OER landscape. However, I'm not a great fan of many of the OCW initiatives for the following reasons: * Most OCW projects, including MIT use the NC restriction in their

[WikiEducator] What are the indicators of a healthy wiki environment?

I think this is a timely question. What indicates a healthy wiki environment. I also think this question should be thought about in the context of WikiEducator and wiki based OER? How would this health be measured? Is it the number of contributors to a page or module? or is it the reputation of th

Hi Anshi, I suspect you are too early. There are people in Wikieducator who are trying to work towards offering services such as what you request, and for a wide range of subject areas.. but as far as I know there is not anyone yet ready for your specific request. I'd suggest doing a few searches
