Hi Wayne,
Will this course be offered later in the year? I would like to register but am tied up and away from connectivity these dates. Best, David Leeming Solomon Islands From: wikieducator@googlegroups.com [mailto:wikieducator@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Wayne Mackintosh Sent: Monday, 13 April 2015 10:55 a.m. To: WikiEducator Subject: [WikiEducator] DS4OER mOOC goes live today Hi everyone, We're pleased to launch the prototype offering of the Digital Skills for Collaborative OER Development <http://ds4oer.oeru.org/> (DS4OER) course today. The OERu envisions a world where all learners will have more affordable access to higher education. The DS4OER course was developed to build capacity in the design and development of open online courses using OER. A key feature of this course is the ability for any educator to host their own course site using the popular open source WordPress content management system assembled from a collection of wiki pages authored openly and collaboratively. We are "eating our own dog <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food> food". We developed the course pages in WikiEducator. I am hosting the course site using WordPress and my own domain using the free tier from OpenShift <https://www.openshift.com/products/pricing> (Red Hat linux's public cloud application.) We acknowledge the funding support of the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO which has supported the development of the course materials and the open source technologies we are using to enable educators around the world to widen access to open online courses using OER. If you wan't to learn how to do this, come join us at: http://ds4oer.oeru.org or pop in to say hi on the aggregated course <http://ds4oer.oeru.org/interactions/course-feed/> feed. You can post using the #DS4OER tag. As a prototype, we apologise in advance for any teething problems but hope that your feedback will help us to improve. We are widening options for educators around the world to create and host their own open online courses using open source software.
