Dear All,
May I welcome the latest batch of certified Wikibuddies, from the National University of Samoa in Apia! We now have 91 members on this list (plus a couple of undesirables – sorry about the spam, I will look into that).
May I congratulate the tenacious spirit I observed in our NUS colleagues, this is really paying off as we can see from the content pages you started, as seen on the workshop page below!
http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/Face-to-Face_schedule/L4C4
The quality debate was also excellent. Please do continue that discussion on this list and also the Wikieducator global list. I must say, this was one of the best workshops yet!
I hope that this list will become a really active forum to build a community of L4C alumnis, you can help each other and consider ways in which we can collaborate to expand access to OERs in our region.
Use this list to ask for follow up support. I will endeavour to respond, but if you need an immediate reply you can contact me directly lee...@pipolfastaem.gov.sb but we should use the list to give our responses so as to share knowledge.
You can now follow up to consolidate skills, and to get recaps on various topics, at http://wikieducator.org/Tutorials (or just type “Tutorials” in the search box and click Go).
Those starting to create sections of content, you can use the tree structure to set up your pages, for instance you might wish to start a section under “Samoa” or “National University of Samoa” (not just NUS – that is ambiguous depending on your location!!!) or something specific to your academic area or institute/faculty. Other country participants can also do so. Then, you are welcome to add those section links to the main Content section of the Wikieducator to make them easily accessible to the whole community.
You can also sign up for the online tutored workshop. As you progress, you will move up the wikieducator certifications – you can become Wikitrainers and cascade your training!
Anyway, good luck to all in the pursuit of improved access and quality in education in our region.
