WikiEducator - eL4C31
Instructions for Day 4 ( Thursday 29 October, 2009)
Hi everyone!
We hope that most of you have succeeded in adding content to the
Wiki Discussion
pages, and managed to complete your first edit on your User page. It's
not too difficult. This may be the first time you have published on the
Web, so celebrate your achievement! Yes, that's right, all your edits
can be viewed by anyone with an Internet connection.
Please let us know if you had any difficulties by posting your
questions to
Wiki Questions & Feedback page. We'll do our best to
help out.
Today
we will move onto the basics of wiki editing, that is formatting text.
We are also interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas on the
content resource you are planning to develop under your learning
contract. This will be our discussion activity for today.
The
idea is that you will use your new editing skills to develop your user
page in WikiEducator. By the end of this week, you should have a pretty
impressive User page for other WikiEducators to get to know you a
little better. You will also have your own practice area (your sandbox)
for the purpose of trying out your skills.
Instructions:
- If you haven't already done so, please download a copy of our cheatsheet (pdf 725KB) and keep
this close at hand when working on the wiki.
- Basic Text Formatting. Work through Tutorial 4.
Most of you found your User pages pre-filled with several templates,
headings and a link to a subpage titled "My sandbox", a sandbox is a
place for playing around, a place for practicing your new wiki skills,
so don't be afraid of writing wrong codes in your sandbox... only one
thing would happen... you will learn from your mistakes :-). If you
like you can download
and print out a copy of the instructions to set up a sandbox. Some
users find it easier to work from a printed set of instructions.
- Tell us about the content resource you are planning to develop
under your learning contract by adding to Wiki Discussions page My Learning Contract Project. Looking forward to sharing
ideas for content development!
Keep adding to
WikiDiscussion
pages and
please post replies to your peers. These pages are designed to host
your
thoughts, comments, and feedback regarding the specific topics. These
provide dual benefits for you; sharing knowledge and practicing wiki
skills! :-)
Remember the following tip when on editing mode: take a look at the
codes others are using for
formatting text and images, try to replicate the codes in your editing.
This suggestion applies to any WikiEducator page.
As
you start adding content to WikiEducator, you will notice that when you
get stuck, the facilitators and other members of WikiEducator will be
there to help. That's the wiki way!
Have fun!
