Hi Ramesh - regarding the below, these officers are new to Wikieducator and OERs apart from the person mentioned. I am sorry that I have been a bit offline regarding WikiEducator development for a while, and I am not sure - is this course the standard email-based WikiEducator skills training, which included introduction and OERs or is it a more specialised course focusing on OERs? My plan is to start by helping the half dozen officers sign up with WE accounts and join in with them, and then follow up with a face to face workshop where we can build on the skills and focus on their particular content development. Does that sound suitable?
Hi Valerie
Many thanks, it would be great to have your collaboration.
The Youth officer who initiated this was involved in some early work with COL's Learning4Peace in 2009, when I trained youth groups in a rural area in some collaborative wools including WikiEducator. At the time there was no focus on how to use those skills but I am happy to say that the "seeding" of the idea has borne fruit as he is now the Deputy director of the national Youth Division and wants to use it to support their Ministry's programmes by collaborating with rural youth groups and stakeholders on training materials.
I'll be in touch as we get going,

Hi David
Saw your note on the WikiEducator list. I'm a long time WikiEducator.
I would be happy to work with your ladies on their training
development.
Please think about how remote volunteers can contribute. There have
been a couple of WE groups looking into remote volunteering and
collaboration - great idea and WE supports this work.
It takes some organization on the community end to figure what they
need and how others can help. There is a need to work out a process as
well as the training content. I hope that you and the ladies would be
willing to work on this together with me and other WE volunteers.
All the best
..Valerie
