H Nellie,

We're all working hard out of the gate - so I think it's important that we do our best to leverage our best efforts in line with other activities.

I will be facilitating regular WikiEd conferences (it would be great to get them going weekly, but for now, it will probably be once every 2-3 weeks...just to get going...). Of course, others are welcome to do the same - something for the future depending on personal bandwidth, interest and likelihood of strategic collaboration....

I think it's important that the online WikiEd conference leverage these upcoming Webconferences, and in turn, the outreach and promo efforts for the online conference feed back into the regular web conferences.... and this info is shared amongst all - openly and on a timely basis.

Your thoughts?

- Randy

I would like to know what the agenda for the phone / skype meeting will be - in advance.

For meetings in general, I like to have them stick to around 45min to 1 hour....otherwise, it's just too long....

And, Saturday night....that's a toughie for me.

Does that help?

Hmm, Saturday - that might be hard to swing with my better half.... I'm still getting used to the time changes...

In terms of inviting others.... how about drawing up an agenda first? could you do that?

Time for meeting: 45 minutes to one hour.

Randy,
It would be Saturday your time, though. Is that OK? Would you like to invite others?
Thanks,

Hi Nellie,

This week:

Wednesday (tomorrow night), I'm available from 8-9 pm (Pacific), then I have to run, to watch American Idol - sad but true.
Thursday & Friday are out
Sunday is probably best
Monday - next week is fine too.

Hi Randy,

8 PM PST (yours) would be  6 AM my time which would be good for me. What day would be convenient? We could have a 60 minute meeting at first for WE members and then have a meeting on say Saturday/Sunday (mine) at the same time for a longer duration for the public.

BTW I appreciate your enthusiasm.

Thank you.

Nellie

Hi Nellie,

I'm just back from my trip to Ottawa - still trying to brush off the jet lag... perhaps a night-time conference in Canada - say somewhere between 5-10 pm on the west coast. I think that's the morning in New Zealand....and people in Asia may also be reachable...

There's a neat application : www.worldtimeserver.com where you can check multiple time zones, etc.

Hi Randy,
It was a friendly meeting between Sandhya and myself. Can you suggest a good date/time for a session so it can fit most time zones? I will set up a WEa meeting so we can plan a public session to introduce WE to the world.

Thank you.
Nellie

I think an online conference - where we can draw on folks from around the globe  - is a great idea. Certainly, the suggestion has generated a great deal of interest here....

What was the output of your May 10 meeting...were the meeting notes captured? How can we build on this momentum?

Hi Nellie -- Your energy is contagious!

It would be great to have a couple of training sessions on how to use
WE using Moodle -- incidentally if you need teacher access to a Moodle
site for this purpose -- WE have a Moodle installation on our server.

On a slightly different tangent -- as you know Moodle is used
extensively throughout the Commonwealth and we are very keen to
develop a series of high quality professional development materials as
free content -- especially for educators getting started with Moodle
and eLearning. We're in the very early stages of this project --
having just completed an inventory of institutions in the CW who are
the technology. The idea is to find out what free content training
materials they have and whether folk are interested in collaborating
on shared professional development resources.

See:

http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:Bounties/Moodle_in_the_Commonwealth

The next step is to develop a very short survey to collect relevant
info and to see whether this is a feasible project.

Cheers
Wayne

Randy,
I am glad you will be facilitating regular webconferences for WE. Let me know if you would like me to set up the sessions on WiZiQ.

Warm wishes,
