(BTW have you talked to Wen lately?) Realistically we need to go with a minimum of a 2 server solution for Phase 2. At the moment we don't have a good enough fail-server solution in place. If server 1 goes down --- we've got nothing in place to ensure a 24/7 service. We do a daily data backup to another server -- so our data is safe should Server 1 burn out. I like the sandboxed wiki idea for experimental work and pushing the envelope. Innovation and a forward looking disposition are core values of the WE commmunity -- and in many respects differentiates our project from other wikis in the field. My vote is to explore 3 servers.

[WikiEducator] Re: Userpages and Cultural Identity
Good afternoon, Thanks Wayne/Randy. I have indeed started thinking about how we could create a place on WikiEducator that would hold a series of culture related projects in a one-stop shopping kind of place (pardon my casual language but it best describes what I am trying to do). This let me to create the Culture Wiki at www.wikieducator/Culture. Culture has always been very dear to my heart, which is why I went back to school several years ago, to increase my knowledge base and working with the developing world, but with this being said, I also know that the learning process will never end. National Folkore, an Indian organization is currently developing free content under Culture and ICTs. I am also communicating with some people in India on the issue of Culture and Gender related issues and are hoping that this is something they are interested in. In the Culture Wiki you will see that I have created several headings, to give people an idea of what I was thinking about. It would be fantastic, if we could rally up some support and interest in the community, to develop free content for the Culture Wiki, to drive this area forward. I believe culture is at the bottom of most of what we do in one or another form. Some people consider this unimportant, but I do not share their views as I see how it effects our work on a daily basis. Diverse cultures can only be brought together through mending the differences, educating each other, increasing awareness and building up the knowledge about other cultures within the communities. I may be a bit of an idealist here, but haven't given up hope that this is possible, if one could find like-minded institutions and individuals that feel, this is important in today's world. Picking up on I think it was Bee's/Alison's comments regarding a culture node on each country page, I think this would be fantastic. We would have to decide how this should look like. Maybe a country culture template would be an idea. The information put into the Wiki should have a relationship with Education. With this being said, maybe some background statistics: How many girls/boys attend primary/secondary/high school/college/university, length of studies, age groups, population: male/female. Just a start/thought? Any other thoughts?

[WikiEducator] Re: Userpages and Cultural Identity
Dear Samuel,
You have just set an example of how we could go about taking a more
culturally sensitive approach. You mentioned that you are an Ashanti.
Ashantis are one of Ghana's largest ethnic groups. You speak Twi, and
Akan language that is similar to Fante, another dialect. Ashanti
maintain a matrilineal societies where line of descent is traced
through the female. Historically, this mother progeny relationship
determined land rights, inheritance of property, offices and titles.
This is really interesting and sets you apart from many others in our
day and age of gender (in)equality. So here, for instance, you have an
idea of what one could do, to create content on the Wiki under the
country nodes and on the Culture Wiki (maybe linked??) that is
culturally informative. The next step could be, starting to develop
content that is culturally sensitive and relevant to Ashantis in Ghana.
What could benefit Ashantis in particular: Marrying outside of their
ethnic group??? A lesson on bridging the difference. Lessons on how the
Ashanti society works. Proper Etiquette. Develop an Ashanti Cookbook
that can be taught online? I am just thinking out loud.
On Wikipedia, just co-incidently, when I checked what an Ashanti means:
I saw found this and thought, now this is interesting and along the line
what I suggested yesterday as template, not knowing it already existed:
The syntax is this:
'''Ashanti''', or '''Asante''', are a major [[ethnic group]] in
[[Ghana]]. The Ashanti speak [[Twi]], an [[Akan languages|Akan
language]] similar to [[Fante language|Fante]]. For the Ashanti (Asante)
Confederacy see [[Asanteman]].

[WikiEducator] Re: Userpages and Cultural Identity
Hi Samuel,
It is not that simple, Samuel. There is much more to consider before we
can decide with the help of the community of how we want to approach
this. There are two things here: Bee's/Alison's suggestion, creating
Cultural identities on Userpages, my idea of a template, which I had no
idea it already existed on Wikipedia and the Culture Wiki content
suggestions I made, which were only suggestions. There are so many
aspects to Culture and it may take some time to build. I am planning to
approach a few people in the community, to bring them in.
We do not want to make the WikiEducator a second Wikipedia, so we need
to ensure that the information we put there, has a relationship with
education. The community should decide what would be useful and I would
appreciate a few more comments and perspectives before we can go ahead
and take action. A template is a good idea in my view, but what kind of
information should we put in there that is culturally informative to
others and not of a personal nature. You do not want to put personal
information on your user page, unless you use your sandbox - your
personal space - to do this. In that case it would be appropriate. I am
sure others have more ideas. Feel free to comment.
Samuel, what kind of blog are you referring to. All can be discussed
right here on Wikieducator. Am I missing something?
Cheers,
Patricia

Then in 2010 we'll do 9th and 10th grade, etc., until in 2012 we're running all four years of high school.

Evaluation to me, and I've had to employ graduates to do media jobs, always comes down to seeing of they, or their teachers, can do it. i.e. have institutions prepared the inexperienced for it?. Old industries, no problem. New industries, like the interactive media ones; rarely a clue. Let me give you an illustration of a change going back 30 years. Unis were trying to teach AV production stuff. Many didn't have a recording desk. Even fewer had relationships with bands or actors interested in recording. Even if some students did, they wouldn't be encouraged to bring those noisy long haired gits into a lovely clean studio. So one dirty engineer in Sydney started offering courses in his studio, which now, though some unis in 49 countries, offers accredited courses. http://www.sae.edu/. But it wasn't until the unis were included in the Learning mix of enough working engineers that the accreditations were given. Until then, we usually just gave students a piece of paper, and for the more determined, helped them find them a job. Now a three month course has inflated to three years. The thing i find fascinating - when watching new interactive global media institutions, like Wikipedia, et al, get their Project Groups' Learning ground(s) together and professionalize good habits, while at the same time watching national Teaching institutions struggling to think outside their squares - is that nothing seems to have changed. In the professionals' web space, you see the beginnings of global interactive environments, which are obviously self sustaining and appear to help people meet peers, get their heads around the things a good web designer needs to know and maybe get some (paid) experience. http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/ And then you look at unis' web sites/ brochureware, ho! ho!

[WikiEducator] Re: Bounty Release
Dear Minhaaj, Your point is well taken and naturally, we are always looking out for better business practices, to accommodate our WikiEducators in those remote areas that are hard to reach. It comes with the territory that business practices will differ and one will have to look for alternative ways, to accommodate requests that come through. You can rest assured, both Wayne and I, will always do our best to make this happen, in the best possible way. While I appreciate your suggestion of wanting to have a discussion and it certainly wouldn't hurt - the challenges lie within established business practices and ways of doing things. Wanting to change these is a challenge in itself but it is most certainly a good idea to have this conversation, to see where things can be adjusted, to better suit the need. You are the first facilitator we are running into this challenge with, so it is a learning curve for us as well. I have just followed up with our accounting department and I will hopefully be able to send you the agreed upon funds later today.

My purpose for posting this thread was not to blame anyone for something that some might thing is my personal problem (which i am not convinced is my personal issue, as L4C is a collective mission that anyone can carry forward in their own reigons). My intent was to promote a discussion as to how to simplify this process and make it easier for WEs to understand and not be deterred by the red tape. As you said you had to mould yourself to my needs and new requirements, this will be the case as we have more enrollment in WE and diverse population joining this fabulous community. I believe this about time we start discussion on facilitating those diverse populations and make WE more accessible to people who live in geographical reigons where WE has not been promoted before. I am amazed to see your dedication with project and your concerns about my security (recall our conversation about emailing personal info). I have no doubts that people like you are assets of COL and will make it one of the best institutions around the world. My purpose was just to start a discussion about simplifying the process and creating criteria and process of payments. I encourage other members to contribute their ideas on this.

I have been very unwell and away from the office as you know. Today is my first day back at work. I will look into this for you immediately, so we can get this issue sorted out. Please note that you are of value to us, please reassure your school administrations. We completely understand your frustrations but please also bear in mind that it is only Wayne and I at this end, who look after administrative things. In your case, the red tape did take longer than expected but it is partly due to extraordinary circumstances and business practices we do not normally carry out, having to send money through ways we do not normally use. It looks simple but is not as simple to change established business practices at our end. Apologies for the frustrations you had to endure.

[WikiEducator] Re: First WE Election Updates
Hi Steve, Your comments are totally valid and your concerns appreciated. We were thinking along the same lines and debating which way to go. Please note as mentioned that all votes will be validated with an existing WikiEducator user id by only the small electoral committee, hence the request for the voter's information, to enable us to do this. Although not ideal this is still the best way to do this under the circumstances. Should somebody try to vote again using your user id, the system remembers IP addresses and voters user ids, so it would enable you or that person to vote again with the same user id, but I doubt this will happen as WikiEducators have integrity. You could of course create a new user id and vote again but that would be legal as long as you have a valid WikiEducator user id, which will be checked. Votes are only validated by a very small electoral committee, so they will remain confidential, and no one else has access to this account without the password. Due to our budget restraints, this unfortunately was the best option available to us at this time. Hope this makes sense and is acceptable.

I just voted. Was there really no MediaWiki plugin to accommodate this election? I ask because a fair election requires a secret ballot, something that isn't in place when an electoral committee has access to see how everyone voted. Worse, requiring identification without any kind of verification is an open invitation to ballot fraud. Who can say whether the vote tagged with my name and username really comes from me? Given that it's a third party surveying service, can we even get IP addresses to see whether multiple votes come a single source? I realise that at this point we should carry on, and even though I'm raising these issues, as a candidate for this election I will accept its results. I also don't mean to impugn the electoral committee: they say our votes will be confidential and I believe them. However, as we move toward community governance I thought that these issues should be mentioned, and should I be elected I will support changing this process for the next election cycle. -=Steve=- -- Stephen H.

Mireille, The google discussion forum will only be up this week before I have to clear it for the next group of learners, but what I suggest, Mireille, you could do, without putting pressure on you, you could always start where you left off this time, and complete the training with the next group.

Hi Leigh, Here are details in comparison: Wkiveristy lies in 22,757th place of the 1.50 Mio websites there are worldwide, so they had an average change of 2,214 over the course of the 3 months (combined measure of page views and users (reach)). The number of unique page views went down by 13%, but 4% percent of global Internet users visited this site in the last 3 months. Wikispaces lies in 4597th place. They went up by 19% in the last three months on average. The number of unique pages viewed per user per day for this site went down by 4% in the last 3 months, so did the percent of global Internet users who visit this site (4%). WikiEducator lies in 164,234th place. It went up by 65,983 combined measure of page views and users (reach) in the last three month (as per this morning). The number of unique pages viewed per user per day for this site has been 28% and 27% percent of global Internet users visited our site in the last three months. This is a big change compared to last month. There is still a lot to do but I think we can be proud of having come so far in such short period of time. So thank you to all WikiEducators in our community who are working tireless and with enthusiasm, to make this an even bigger success. Our aim is to belong to the top 100,000 websites and we are on our way.

Then i go off on a two weeks holiday back to work and catching up. Will be able to really get into wikieducator issues only early November. Sorry for this but smile Savithri 2008/9/30 Wayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, At last I'm back in the office again and will be in Vancouver for the next three weeks before my next international mission. The phenomenal success of WikiEducator is attributed to hundreds of educators from around the world who wake up in the morning thinking: What can I do for WikiEducator today? This is the foundation for our current and future success. I'm sure that there must be hundreds of questions pertaining to our unfolding futures (that is WikiEducator 3.0 smile) and I will do my best to answer all these questions. I know that I won't have all the answers -- but working together we'll find the answers to most of our questions. In our networked society -- they say that its far better to have the right questions (without necessarily having all the answers), than having the right answers to the wrong questions. Key thoughts about WikiEducator 3.0 * WE is a community project and will always be a community project run by the community for the community; * WE needs a non-profit entity to take is to the next level of success -- we have outgrown our home at COL; * The success of the community is the prime reason we can move forward independently. This is an open invitation to all WIkiEducators for any questions you may have about WikiEducator 3.0, but more importantly providing us with well-founded advice on our next steps. Look forward to an interesting conversation :-) Cheers Wayne -- Dr. Savithri Singh Principal Acharya Narendra Dev College (University of Delhi) Govindpuri, Kalkaji New Delhi 110 019 Tel: 2629 4542, 2629 3224, 2641 2547 Fax: (011) 2629 4540 Res: 2584 8151 2584 97862584 3496 http://andcollege.du.ac.in http://console.mxlogic.com/redir/?b9EVjhuo7c6SnzhO-qejhOqenPo0fo8mGuvV7 -grXrta1K_8CzBVxVwsUCyrKr8N8lrxrOX9eiNoMTKXEz0zcGjGj8f1XEuP1MMmC7zzBGm9D OIjCtqF_00gkhHkyvV6dmRGsKrhhjsudEFFFzCjhOMyedK3zpFr0mhmgQwTrpRyqnjh02_id 402OaO6A6XreIjh0PRPh0nbCy0prAuxa14Qglryq87mVJNYQgjGh-pfUCV-7PNo_pgdECQPr bNEVvd7bzNEVdDrldh9svUfdT http://wikieducator.org/Savithri_Singh http://console.mxlogic.com/redir/?2OqekQnC1P1JBUQsLCzAQsCzBYS03ciaOZ1KS PH7w0e36Cpj9NAaz4E4ipK_8CzBVxVwsUCyrKr8N8lrxrOX9eiNoMTKXEz0zcGjGj8f1XEuP 1MMmC7zzBGm9DOIjCtqF_00gkhHkyvV6dmRGsKrhhjsudEFFFzCjhOMyedK3zpFr0mhmgQwT rpRyqnjh02_id402OaO6A6XreIjh0PRPh0nbCy0prAuxa14Qglryq87mVJNYQgjGh-pfUCV- 7PNo_pgdFCQPrbNEVvd7bzNEVdDrldh9svUfdT --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

Dear Malisa, You might not realize this, but you are posting over the main WE list and not on the Learning4Content workshops list server in the course you are currently being part of. The main list has 100s of people receiving your question in their email, with not understanding what you are referring to?

[WikiEducator] New online basic wiki editing skills training opportunity
Dear Friends, First of all, Happy New Year to all of you!. May this coming year be the beginning of something that you look with pride. I would like to take this opportunity to also thank all those of you who have taken us up on our free training opportunity on basic wiki editing skills, which often formed the basis of a new activity. We have seen an enormous number of participants taking this training and becoming dedicated and committed WikiEducators and we would like to thank each one of you for the great work you have done. The future is in your hands and all will depend on what you decide to do, to make your seeds grow. Many of you have taken it a step further and are in the middle of launching very important, country specific initiatives that will make all the difference to the people who will benefit from your efforts. Continue to spread the word, so others too can take part. At the same time, I would like to let you know that we are happy to announce the first online training this year, starting on January 26, and running through to February 6, 2009. The training will be facilitated by Nellie Deutsch and myself.

Hi All, I just found a reference to DebateGraph on the BBC News site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7827112.stm A visit to the DebateGraph site -- http://debategraph.org/ n pursuit of this goal, Debategraph is: (1) A wiki debate visualization tool that lets you: * present the strongest case on any debate that matters to you; * openly engage the opposing arguments; * create and reshape debates, make new points, rate and filter the arguments; * monitor the evolution of debates via RSS feeds; and, * share and reuse the debates on and offline; (2) A web-based, creative commons project to increase the transparency and rigor of public debate everywhere-by making the collective insight and intelligence of the global community freely available to all and filtering out the noise. * Every debate map is provisional and open to iterative improvement by anyone who participates. * Over time, the debate maps will mature into the definitive articulations of each debate. * Every change you make-whether correcting a text, adding a new argument, or starting a new debate-contributes towards the fulfilment of this social promise. * So be bold as a first time visitor-and safe in the knowledge that a full editing history provides a safety net. (3) A global graph of all the debates that enables us to visualise and deepen our understanding of the ways in which different debates are semantically interrelated, and ways in which these interrelated debates shape, and are shaped by, each other.

[WikiEducator] Consultancy opportunity
Dar Friends, I hought I'll share this with you as this might be of interest to some of you. Please get in touch with Mr. Marcus Edwardes directly at AUSAID. Warm regards, Patricia: Dear Sir/Madam My query relates to the development of a Project Design Document for an English Language Training and Resource Centre in Timor-Leste (East Timor). Please see below for the background to my query.. Context The Australian Government is exploring the need to support and strengthen access to quality English Language and Literacy in Timor-Leste. In September-October 2008, the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) commissioned a Feasibility Study into the need for English Language support throughout Timor-Leste and to develop options on ways this could be addressed. The Feasibility Study clearly articulates that there is high and growing demand for English language training from many segments and levels of East Timorese society. The Feasibility Study noted that the current English language provision and the existing capacity of English Language providers and trainers are not of any recognisable standard and that quality varies markedly in approach and outcome. The Feasibility Study concluded that it is feasible to establish an English Language Training and Resource Centre in Timor-Leste. It proposed that this Centre would support existing providers of English Language training through the provision of teacher training and high quality learning resources to meet both English for Special Purpose and English for Academic Purpose needs. The report also proposed that the Centre would provide specialist English Language development programs for key groups where current provision is non-existent or of poor quality. The provision of English Language training will need to be recognised by international standards. Next steps AusAID has approved the findings of the Feasibility Study and agreed to fund the development of a Project Design Document for an English Language Training and Resource Centre. The next step (which is the essence of my query) is to select a team of two consultants (with relevant skills and experience) to prepare the Project Design Document beginning in February/March 2009. This assignment requires two consultants: a design specialist who will also be team leader; and an English as a Second Language Specialist. Therefore I would like to know if the Commonwealth of Learning provides this type of service (and would be interested in this activity) or can suggest an alternative organisation/provider/consultant who might be able to provide this service. If you need further information or require clarification I can be contacted on the details below.

Then a small team would evaluate the nomination against the description and if the description is compelling and the user page matches the description they become a UPE.

[WikiEducator] More Thank yous
Dear Friends, Wayne is right, I didn't expect to receive public recognition and that it came nonetheless, is something that I appreciate a lot. The past three years have been an absolute pleasure and the most exciting work I have ever been involved and will continue to be involved in. There are most certainly not many people who can claim that they really enjoy what they are doing! Thank you to all of you for being a part of such a wonderful community of educators around the globe who have the foresight and dedication to bring about needed change. It is a real pleasure knowing you all and forming many new friendships in the process. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Wayne for being such a wonderful mentor, supporter and role model, for and in my own professional development, who led by example in his tireless effort to drive WikiEducator forward.

Your students must love you! I am just thinking maybe it would be a good idea to start a place on wikieducator where all videos hiding on the various user pages are collected under one roof for easier access.

Dear Oliver, It is with such delight I read your email to us this morning and couldn't you have been more accurate in the description and detail of your observations when it comes to the people in our community involved in WikiEducator. It all started with the brilliant idea and the recognition for the need by Wayne, and was following by passion, dedication, commitment, giving freely and voluntarily to our large community that has made this project what we are today. It has never stopped to amaze me to see so many people coming together to help grow an idea that will make an impact in the lives of others. It is because of people like you and our community that we work tireless behind the scene, to make reach our goals. We are only three years old next month. Knowledge, Passion, sharing and collaboration are all key elements on WikiEducator and in our community. Thank you for joining our WikiEducator family. Hope we will see a lot of you. With much thanks and warm regards, Patricia -Original Message- From: wikieducator@googlegroups.com [mailto:wikieduca...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Oliver Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 3:03 AM To: WikiEducator Subject: [WikiEducator] Re: WiZiQ Live Conference: WikiEducator Personal Learning Environment (PLE) Hi Everyone, First of all I'd like to thank Patricia, Nellie and Gladys for facilitating the WE on line workshops. And of course, all the other participants of my eL4C21 workshop group and among which Anil, Phil and Benjamin.and Wayne, who have honored me by visiting and contributing to my page or allowed me to contribute to theirs. Thank you all, You''ll be on my watch list. The workshop's Collaborative Content creation efforts have been one of the greatest experience I've had in several years. Finding, comments and encouragements, from wikineighbours in Mexico in the evening. Next morning thank you's and solutions from India, Israel or US. This blurred line, as Nellie said so well, between teacher- learner and adopter and adopted roles is a wonderful, stimulating experience. I think Nellie said in one of her comments that I am a natural ! Thanks for that one and yes that would be me. As I have no formal training as an educator, but am very passionate and eager to learn and share about my subjects, which presently really are oysters (in particular) but all see foods, in fact, and Linux (in particular) and Open Source in general and now WE which are all really great sharing models. Two aspects, I always though, make for a success stories, in any enterprise: Knowledge and Passion The revelation of WikiEducator and, maybe, also its greatest gift (to me), is realizing the need to add this third aspect: Sharing It seems that Knowledge and Passion and Sharing are cornerstones of successful individual and community empowerment. So I'll be in touch with you all on WE to look for opportunities to learn, share and work on eLearning Content, shortly. I may be absent for some intermittent periods, being in the process of setting up a new business (based on above trinity), connected travel and even some copyright legal issues needing to be resolved (..) but I can assure you I'll be keeping in touch, update and cleanup my user:Lebreton pages and view yours. Lots of interesting reading:) so hope for and trust upon your indulgence and patience... I 've subscribed to this main email discussion group and will proudly add the wikkybuddy logo to my website and curriculum, and submit articles and links to Blogs whenever opportune. This last one might even be something to request all workshop participants to do, somewhere along the line, and in doing so generate even more interest in WikiEducators and eL4C.

[WikiEducator] RE: [[Teacher Collaboration Forum][ Welcome Teachers - PLease join our new forum on WikiEducator
Dear Teachers, In addition to Gita's encouragements to come and join our new Teacher Collaboration discussion forum, (thank you, Gita) let me also invite you to check out the new Teacher Collaboration Portal created for teachers on WikiEducator. It is intended as a platform to hold professional development workshops, create content for use in the classroom, such as for instance, student guides and teacher handouts that can be shared among the global teacher communities, or develop a course specific to your needs which will benefit the teaching experience for instance, share knowledge or just come and learn from what has been posted. The ideas will flow. If anybody already has something that they would like to contribute to this portal, feel free to upload or ask for help. What I am hoping to see is that this platform will develop into an active, creative and international platform of teachers for teachers who can meet and learn from each others. It is a place where to enhance the teachings in your classrooms, get inspired, trained, creative and empowered for the benefit of your students and yourself. The forum is open and un-facilitated, so anyone can take the lead for their initiatives, and anyone can come in and register themselves. We as a community are responsible for the posted content, so we will all keep an eye out on this. It would be fantastic if those that register in the discussion forum would also go to people tab on the Teacher Collaboration webpage (link below), to provide a few details, so in the end we will be able to see how far our network reaches, It will also enable us to connect directly and/or team up on likeminded ideas, to make this a reality. I will invite all those teachers to the forum and the portal created on WikiEducator who have joined us since January 2008 in any one of our Learning4Content workshops, so this initiative might grow fast. I encourage you to get the members of your faculties, schools and different teaching institutions involved by providing them with an introduction, the link to the teacher collaboration portal as well as the link of the discussion forum, which can also be found on the portal. http://www.wikieducator.org/Teacher_Collaboration http://groups.google.com/group/wikieducator-teacher-collaboration-forum Let's see where we get with these irst few steps.

Nellie, it is great, no doubt, but we won't be collaborating on the wiki, instead we would do this outside of WikiEducator. I think it works well in a business environment where you want to share documents with each other, working on it collaboratively without having to send email with attachments.

Seems to me that a work group approach is a good way to go because: * It respects the freedom of all WIkiEducators to propose changes for improving our project and does not rely on some predetermined community status -- thus empowering all our members to contribute to community innovation. * Ensures open and transparent development and discussion of the ideas * Encourages research and reflection in solving the challenge Be interested to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Cheers Wayne On May 31, 4:22 pm, Wayne Mackintosh mackintosh.wa...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone -- The concept of instituting work groups in WE has been around for some time, as suggested, for example by User:Leutha, User:Kakamora and others. However, we don't have processes or guidelines to assist WikiEducator's in forming groups that will contribute towards the collective objective of improving how we work. When WikiEducator was much smaller -- it was relatively easy to post a query, idea or suggestion on the main list and take a collective decision. With considerable growth since January 2008 our project needs are growing rapidly and I wonder whether WE should consider formalising a work group approach? In other words, should we set up a work group to develop guidelines on implementing work groups to be tabled at the first WCC meeting? We already have a few work groups that have formed organically. *Existing work groups: * - A usability work group iniated by User:Kakamora -- good ideas and intentions, but hasn't gone further (see: http://www.wikieducator.org/Usability_Working_Group) - A work group to talk about Learning Design (Pedagogical templates) -- (see:http://www.wikieducator.org/Workgroup:Learning_design) - Another work group is looking at the development of an OER Policy Briefing intended to assist with advocacy of OER among policy makers -- (see:http://wikieducator.org/OER_Brief_for_policy_makers) Are there any other workgroups which I may have missed? Peter wouldn't the volunteer group who have signed up for helping out on the Quality Assurance and Review framework also constitute a workgroup of sorts? (See:http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:Quality_Assurance_and_Review). Recent posts on the list by Nellie, Ben, Peter, Brent, Randy and Patricia on the topic of communication alternatives in WE, ning.com etc suggest that the work group model is possibly a good vehicle for researching these kinds of questions and proposing alternatives for consideration. Two questions: 1. Should WE implement a work group approach? 2. If so, should we initiate a work group to develop a draft set of guidelines on work groups, utimately leading to a policy on work groups for consideration by the WCC for approval.

I'm proud to be associated with educators who share the value of sharing knowledge freely and promoting growth in our amazing project :-) Thanks also to Nellie for raising important questions on the list regarding how we advertise workshops and use our collective space and real estate on the WikiEducator landing page. Herewith my thoughts and ideas to your questions: 1.) Should WE publish workshops on the main page? Yes -- in the spirit of sharing knowledge and opportunities to widen skills in collaborating with the free culture in developing content resources in support of all national curricula -- we should advertise our free training as widely as possible. 2) Should WE put a logo/banner of the event on the main page? Yes -- WE should provide links to community wide and inclusive initiatives. That said, we need to recognise that the WikiEducator landing page is the doorway into our community and I have received personal queries from the community regarding the prominence of the rather large animated gif that was placed on the homepage. With compliments to the facilitators of this training event being bold and taking initiative the wiki way :-) (See: http://wikieducator.org/index.php?title=Template:Frontpage_newsdiff=pre voldid=393778 ) However, historically we've used the news section on the landing page to keep to small thumbnails of images in the range of 100 to 150 pixels and then linking to a subpage to provide more detail. In the past I've taken on the responsibity of keeping the front page current and am very pleased to see more folk from our family taking ownership. This raises the question whether we need guidelines and a community of volunteers to assist with keeping our landing page current. 3) Should WE conduct these workshops at all? Absolutely! The Learning4Content project is the worlds largest wiki training initiative for educators -- Any projects, online sessions which widen access to learning wiki skills must be encouraged :-). 5). Should workgroups be created to make such decisions? Well - decisions which effect the entire community, IMHO should as far as possible and practicble involve as many members of the Wikieducator community as possible --- at least we should provide ample opportunity for wide participation. The advantage of the workgroup approach (which was proposed by a community member) is that any member of the community can participate irrespective of rank or status. I think that we'll be moving into questionable territory if we assigned all operational decisions, for example to the WikiEducator Community Council --- that would demish the democractic prinples on which our community is founded. That said -- WikiEducator is an evolving community and we do not have all the mechanisms, guidelines and procedures in place that will contribute to our future success. The workgroup approach is Work-in-progress for consideration by the next meeting of Council. 6) Is there any way WE can reach consensus on content added to WE? I think we should distinguish between two major categories of content: * OER content developed by individuals or collaborations between educators. As long as this content aligns with the filters of the core values stated on our home page, I think folk should have the freedom to develop this content. This does not necessarily imply a consensus opinion by the community -- unlike Wikipedia, we are not developing objective encyclopedia content and I think we should encourage a diversity of pedagogical approaches. * Community wide content, like policies and guidelines. As suggested above -- I think that we should strive for community consensus on this category of content including guidelines of how we should manage the consensus process. 7) How do WE go from the planning stage (workgroups) to operating stage? We collaborate on developing community consensus on how we think workgroups should operate -- as we're doing at the moment (see:

The New Zealand Ministry of Education has signed off on a project to establish a national OER collaboration for New Zealand schools using WikiEducator. The project aims to: 1. Build capability and support community development for NZ teachers working on OER. 2. Make the wiki easier to use for all teachers for authoring, searching, and reusing OER content. 3. Seed the development of OER exemplars mapped to the NZ curriculum. The New Zealand Ministry of Education has agreed to fund the first year of the project outlined in this proposal: http://wikieducator.org/Funding_proposals/Reusable_and_portable_content_ for_New_Zealand_schools. I'd like to encourage all WikiEducator teachers to take a look at the proposal and see how we may be able to replicate national OER collaborations in your respective countries. All our planning documentation and resources will naturally be licensed under free content licenses, which you can reuse and adpat for your local context :-). Similarly all tools developed will be freely available for adoption and use by all WikiEducators. Well done WikiEducator --- another natioinal OER initiave for our community!

[WikiEducator] Re: Community thoughts appreciated
Dear Simon, Thank you for your comments. I would like to clarify something. I wasn't asking the community if we should establish a working group for promoting WikiEducator. What I asked was if we should create a working group for the establishment of social network accounts. There is a difference. In the freedom movement, anybody can go and create an account using social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, to name only two and the purpose is again to share and exchange information, be this for a specific purpose or just as friends. The choice is up to each one of us. If you meant our online workshop that is forthcoming on July 3, at 6 pm, GMT (link on the main WE page) by asking to hold on than the answer unfortunately is that we cannot put the event on hold but there will be more opportunities for your group to see the WikiEducator community in action on several levels in the future. If we can help you locally in any way, let me know by writing to Wayne or me directly.

How does the community feel about setting up working groups for the discussion of the establishment of social network accounts such as Facebook, Twitter etc. Patricia, could we hold of for just a little longer on setting up a social network site. In no way am I trying to hold anyone back from doing what they feel must be done. It's just that there is a lot of discussion coming to a head in various NREN's now and I'm hoping WE can, as one of the most progressive global communities, lend our passions and skills to helping their National centric engineers understand how a global peer commons environment might look and operate, so they can reconfigure their networks to support us.edu (or us.ac.uk or us.edu.nz, etc) and other communities who use a different tool as a starting point (i,e, not a wiki) There's a little conference over in Australia next week which has a virtual version.http://www.questnet.net.au/questnet2009/ If anyone would like to participate, it would really help give some direction to that 'experiment' I mentioned before. That said, I always promote WE as example of where teachers/facilitators with a forward looking disposition are congregating (as quietly as possible). If you log in over at questnet, you'll see what i mean. This is all to do with (from an engineering perspective) trying to figure out the difference between clouds and grids and how they be made sustainable, which I don't want to bore WE's community members with. But the aim of it is moving to a new (global) institution for learning, as wayne writes about so well. For that to be acheivable we just need to share a little understanding of each profession's perspective, and find out what their communities have in common. 2. Now that we will shortly arrive at a new stage of promoting WikiEducator, how should this be done. I'd really be interested in what other communties WE members are registered with, and which initiatives give them the greatest hope. For me its edna as an australian.edu community, 'taking it global' as one for my younger global soul and me.edu.au as the initiative where i can see some sense being made of things. Promotion is something which communities used to do before the web was invented and we all became overloaded with info and tools. Inclusion is the description I'd use. 3. Is it necessary and if yes, why or why not 4. Any thoughts appreciated. I think you're wonderful. simon Cheers, Patricia --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

[WikiEducator] Re: Community thoughts appreciated
Hi there, This is exactly one of the reasons why we decided to raise the question, if we should look at a working group for the establishment of social network sites for WikiEducator. You want to avoid creating too many of the same clusters. Thank you both very much for helping with this. We have two WikiEducator accounts on Facebook and are looking to combine these two into one account. One was established as Group by Wayne and has 290+ members and the second was established by me recently with 33+ members. Wayne and I were discussing it a while ago and I am yet to find out how to do this. Currently I am maintaining and posting on both http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5373599268ref=mf http://www.facebook.com/pages/WikiEducator/84274419299?ref=ts Wayne liked the second link because it has WikiEducator in its name, which brought up the issue of perhaps moving the first list to the second one. How do people feel about this?

Hi Maria, Sylvia and Gladys, If you allow me to suggest, why don't you host the event on WIZIQ.com but work from a WikiEducator page. You can set up a project page and transparently hold all discussions for others to join in when they want to. For our Learning4Content workshops as you know we use the Google Groups discussion forum. It is easy to set up a new group and the link you can embed into your Wiki project page including participants list etc. Have a look here: http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Registration how it is done.

You can set up a project page and transparently hold all discussions for others to join in when they want to. For our Learning4Content workshops as you know we use the Google Groups discussion forum. It is easy to set up a new group and the link you can embed into your Wiki project page including participants list etc. Patricia, WiZiQ was the platform Nellie suggested originally. My only concern is the blurb on the site that says recordings are erased after a month. Is it true? Is there a way to keep them forever?

However, for less major - but important Project News, there isn't really anywhere for it to go Thus, I've created a Project News http://www.wikieducator.org/Project_News page - so that anyone can go in, and link to their project, and start sharing their news. (I've added an item for a cool collaboration, where a MA class in Organization Management and Development at Fielding Graduate University in California - my alma mater, will be posting team handbooks relating to intercultural communications, on WikiEd.) Also, after you've added your Project News, copy and paste this info into your Country's News page (if you don't already have it), then simply create one. Here are the links: We can also promote it too... in two places: 1. http://www.wikieducator.org/Project News - overall WikiEducator Project News page 2. http://www.wikieducator.org/USA/News - Country News Page And, finally, encourage your co-collaborators to join the low volume WikiEducator mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/wikieducator Cheers, - Randy PS.

A health warning -- this is hosted on our beta-test server install in preparation for our upcoming migration to the Athabasca University installation :-). DO NOT spend copious hours editing pages on this site --- every time we update newer snapshots of the real WE database, the edits on the test servers will be erased. However -- we can't hold our excitement back and want to give WikiEducators a sneak preview of this exciting future. Also - don't complain if the server is down -- we're still testing, tweaking and getting things right. 1. Go to: http://we1.wikieducator.net/Main_Page 2. Login with your Wikieducator username and password 3. Select a page in the wiki for editing -- try your user page. 4. Click on the [Rich Editor] link which appears on top of the screen 5. Start having fun with a WYSIWYG editor. Note: * We will implement a more elegant solution for selecting the default editor (eg in user preferences) * We will implement the advancement of rich text editing in Phases (for example, currently editing templates is still not ideal for newbies. We will address this in Phase 2 of the implementation.) * There are still various features and services which are still not operational on the test servers -- these will be migrated before going live on the new install. Looking forward to hearing your feedback, thoughts and suggestions for moving forward. I think this is going to make a big difference to participation from educators around the world. We've waited a long time for this opportunity and its great to see WYSIWYG editing becoming a reality for WE.

[WikiEducator] RE: [WE Teacher Collaboration] Re: Should we develop an additional tutorial to the Learning4Content tutorials for the purpose of teaching Copyrights
Hi Phil, As you say, we do have brilliant Learning4Content tutorials 1-10 which teach how to use wiki technology, plus a few more on other important subjects such as the use of Kaltura (video editing) for instance, and how to create a learning resource and others etc that are not taught in the bottom line course but are available for self learning. Awareness of copyright options is something that is important to our work in OER development and while there is information, there is no tutorial that teaches us the meaning of what each license actually means. Copyrights are a large topic and it is important to know how to interpret and apply them correctly in your OER work.

The topic of copyrights can be included on one of them, along with a few related topics, such as various ways to collaborate, and when to leave someone's work untouched. Unlike the introductory tutorials, which are excellent as they are, these proposed secondary tutorials may have fewer facilitators, and those facilitators be responsible for topics that particularly interest them.

Some information on WE can be found here, but I think it is time that we formally developed a tutorial that works to educate about options.

[WikiEducator] RE: [WE Teacher Collaboration] Re: Should we develop an additional tutorial to the Learning4Content tutorials for the purpose of teaching Copyrights
Hi Steve, That is a very good question, Steve and there is no easy answer. There are many books out there that in no way provide all the answers but attempt to give a general overview of what the license restrictions mean and refer or provide references to more information elsewhere. I don't think you could do one tutorial for everything there is but one could start at the bottom line and give you some idea of what certain license restrictions mean and what your options are. I don't claim to be the expert on this subject but the I can clearly see through the experiences I have had over the years, that there is a need for this Cheers, Patricia -Original Message- From: wikieducator-teacher-collaboration-fo...@googlegroups.com [mailto:wikieducator-teacher-collaboration-fo...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Foerster Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 8:29 PM To: wikieducator-teacher-collaboration-fo...@googlegroups.com Subject: [WE Teacher Collaboration] Re: Should we develop an additional tutorial to the Learning4Content tutorials for the purpose of teaching Copyrights Patricia wrote: I had a few recent discussions regarding the need to inform about copyrights and I was wondering if it was a good idea to expand the WikiEducator Learning4Content Tutorials and add a ''Copyright' Tutorials that addresses the need for more information, options and enhances open questions of how deal with certain scenarios that are being brought forward.
