There seems to be some interest in this group in using TiddlyWiki as a platform for teaching, and for delivering educational resources such as textbooks and presentations. I thought we might use this thread to identify those interested in this kind of work, and see if there is critical mass to spin off a few collaborative projects, or at least to bring together some existing resources.
So, here goes: I'm a professor in Information Design at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in NY, USA (hence my user name, stevesuny :). I've used TW in classes for the past 6-7 years, both wikifying texts and teaching students to design and write interactive texts. At the moment, I am interested in: # Rendering open texts published as ePub (or mobi or wxr or odt: this is one example <http://open.lib.umn.edu/americangovernment/>) in TW so that students can submit assignments as comments on the text. # Developing tools that use resources from the Internet Archive <https://archive.org/> as teaching materials. # Expanding and enhancing DesignWriteStudio <https://designwritestudio.updog.co/> as a platform for teaching reading & writing of interactive texts, using TiddlyWiki as both the object of study as well as object of activity. If there is interest, perhaps we might spend the next few weeks writing brief case studies of what we've done, and what we'd like to do? Or, especially for those in higher education, perhaps there is a conference we could collaboratively prepare a session proposal for? Anyone with particular interests in education or textbooks planning on attending the Euro TW Meet-Up in Oxford next month? //steve. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
