HI Wayne, Just coming down off the GLAMwiki get together, which is the most comfortable conference I've ever attended ( so i guess I'm starting to feel at home). They'll be some videos and 'action items' up before much longer, but the main theme, is that every GLAM has tons of raw material, so how can wikimedians (mainly through the Commons) complement (and act as a promotional arm) for them. It's ALL educational material, so long as the Kiwi GLAMs accept the Creative Commons license as enthusiastically as Aussie ones.
Pity we didn't invite a few more people from the .edu space. I think GLAM might morphe into GLAME. A couple of things, as you're going down the Ministry of ED route. This is the context I'm placing things in at your end. http://www.wiki.karen.net.nz/index.php/National_Education_Network So wiki(media/educator) are CASPs in Kiwish. And REANNZ translates as NREN (almost) globally. Although there's this infatuation with videoconferencing in the NRENs, the main point I'm trying to get noticed is that we should give kids (and wikieducators) the skinny (real time) tools they're comfortable with, starting with an ''academic Skype" (network), which can then 'inflate' on demand. It's not a matter of these things haven't been invented or cost much. E.g. http://www.ventrilo.com/about.php But we should try and get a little coordination here, so one NREN can talk to another. Otherwise all we (have) end(ed) with, is each NREN having their own 1-2-3. http://www.aarnet.edu.au/services/real-time-communication/1-2-3-conferencing-booking-system/1-2-3-how-to-book-conferences.aspx i.e Islands in the stream. Do you know a Paul Reynolds? Seems he's consulting to NLNZ and NZ digital forum. Bloody (good) Scots! they're everywhere. I guess you're Haywired mates be asking similar questions to these. http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Key_Questions So where does your OER strategy fit in this lot? http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Proposals regards, simonfj On Jul 18, 3:16 pm, Wayne Mackintosh <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > New Zealand has scheduled another Heywire8 OER Think Tank we're inviting all > Kiwis on the list who may be able to join us in Wellington on 4 August 2008. > More importantly -- I'd encourage all WikiEducator's to think about > launching their own national Heywire8 events :-).
