I don't know if this is something new that is needed or something that already exists.
What I would really like to do is "browse" or "graze" through WikiEducator - like flipping through a magazine or a journal. I'm sure there is lots of great stuff, but I have yet to find a good way to see the broad spectrum and stumble upon stuff. Search isn't the answer, because I don't know what I'm looking for but I'll know it when I see it. What would be even better would be some over layer / meta data layer - sort of like social bookmarking but just for WE content (at least for now). I would like to hop "sequentially" through all the WE content - start anywhere - see the high level pages or a map that showed number of links, child pages, last update, creation date, tags, categories. I want to just scroll or click through the list in some orderly but quick way - browse! Like scanning the Sunday New York Times. If I see something of interest, I'd like to note and tag it against my criteria - my subject/ classification, remember to revisit, and some general site wide criteria - completeness, readability. There are a couple of frustrations with WE now, as I see it. I'm not aware of any good, quick way to see everything that is out there. Finding the "good stuff" that is complete enough for consideration as an OER or Learning object is way too hard. There are also some general WE housekeeping issues - I know, I'm part of the problem. Personal notes, brain dumps, kernels of future projects or topics of interest, or worse - tried it and abandoned pages. This is all interspersed with fine materials that really should be seen and promoted, both within WE and the WE community and to a global audience. It would be nice if this were easy. I hope there are tools available or forthcoming to address some of these needs. Some of us see ourselves as noders and linkers - reviewing and classifying entries in this great WE resource but lack the tools to be effective. Are there tools available now? I did review the WE 3.0 page, but I didn't come away with too much on questions like this - too process oriented? Too far down the hierarchy of issues? Are they part of the plan? ..Valerie On Oct 11, 4:01 pm, Wayne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > In a socially connected world it is more beneficial to have the right > questions than the right answers to the wrong questions. > > I've been working on a WikiEducator 3.0 draft node.
