Hi Leigh --
The play on words doesn't necessarily exclude open data flows <smile> ..
but I agree with Randy, the NextWave concept is more powerful and
appropriate?
Getting back to my "learning to snowboard after 40 years old" experience
-- (Yes it is true that you can snowboard well into your 60's but it's
best learned before you turn 17!). I persevered. These days I can get
myself down the mountain in one piece and rather elegantly with my
turning skills -- but now I want to learn how to board "switch" or
"fakie" -- in other words the other way around. I really like this
boarding stuff and want to experience and achieve more. Similarly - I'm
sure there are WikiEducators that would like to get more out of their
investment. This may include support on using some of our new flashy
tools and helping WikiEducators connect with other Wikieducator's in a
non-zero sum experience. Its about our space to innovate and push the
envelop within the value structure of our community.
I look at the amazing work that educators have done at Otago, University
of Winneba, India etc -- and I'm thinking about how can WE can create
and provide opportunities for the Nextwave of the experience ---
Tutorials are one part of the equation, but really just a means to
achieving an that "Eureka" experience of real wiki collaboration.
Facilitating Online Communities is a model course in many respects ---
How do you see this slotting into the NextWave concept?
R you back in NZ yet or still rocking the Tasmanians?
Cheers
Wayne
