wikieducator

This week we are pleased to announce an online synchronous meeting with Wayne Macintosh, who has graciously ceded some of his very busy time to join us for an open conversation on wikis, WikiEducator and open content projects. Wayne has also suggested, depending on the interest of participants, that COL (Commonwealth of Learning) could run 10 working days of online training (about 20 minutes per day required) on basic wiki editing skills.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday 6th at 21 GMT. We will be using the Elluminate platform generously set up by Leigh Blackall from the Otago Polytechnic University in New Zealand. Leigh, whom I met f2f during the Future of Learning in a Networked World event in 2006, has been heavily involved in open content projects both with WikiEducator, Wikiversity, Wikibooks and more recently with OER Handbook.

Please check details in the Primer as to pre-activities/readings and how to join. Write down any questions or concerns you may have so as to have them answered during the meeting.
