Hi Steve, That barrier is set to fall very soon, with Jim Tittsler's work, community input and NZ Ministry of Education funding.
We have a rich text editing beta up at: http://en1.wikieducator.net You can log into it, using your WE settings as usual. Try it out! - but make sure that you don't 'leave content' there, - just copy it over to your regular wiki page. Wayne can advise of the timing for release. - Randy On Sat, Oct 31, 2009 at 10:23 AM, Steve Foerster <[email protected]>wrote: > > Jim wrote: > > << Secondly, WikiEducator has as one of its missions to help different > learning communities to develop courses and materials. >> > > I've been pretty quiet for a while now, sorry about that everyone! > I've been busy with doctoral study and switching from employment to > contracting, and it's been pretty intense, although now things are now > fairly well settled. :-) > > Anyway, Jim's comment reminds me about what I've long thought is our > most important issue: That our biggest barrier to gaining more content > is that there is no WYSIWYG, rich text editing interface to WE.
