Hi Alison, Great that you've connected with Rob! Rob is WikiEducator's resident pedagogical template guru.
There's no restriction on suggesting and/or building new templates in WikiEducator. The power to innovate is in your hands -- it's the wiki way :-). The only caveat is while experimenting, it's best to create a new template rather than modifying an existing one -- this way, we avoid causing problems on existing pages in the event of a new bug introduced during the development and testing of a new template. Rest assured -- you're in good hands working with Rob. I really like your suggestion relating to a small group to discuss the design and implementation of pedagogical features in WE. At the moment, we don't have a "formerly" constituted group looking at learning design issues --- and I think that this is an excellent idea. Are there any other WikiEducators who are interested in joining a WE learning design workgroup? As a learning designer in one of my previous lives -- I'm putting my hand up to join. We currently have a funding proposal on the table with the Hewlett Foundation -- if successful this will include work on improving the pedagogical features of the wiki and it would be great to have a learning design work group for WE.
