Dear Ibrahim,
That's the way to do it, also sign up for the next one, as it will teach
rich text editing, WikiEducator's newest feature. Raising awareness and
inviting people to come check this opportunity out is a good starting
point. Matters have a way of progressing from there, and interest groups
easily form. You now have a Wikieducator Nigeria Portal. Make use of it,
invite people who share your passion to improve the page, build teams,
take the lead and move forward. I highly recommend any of you sign up
for the WikiEducator discussion forum at the top of WE's main page. This
way you stay close to the pulse and can find help easily, not just from
me, but from your WikiNeighbours around the world
(http://www.wikieducator.org )
We are our own limitations, think big and move forward. Just one
important thing: Always make sure that anything you put on WE is free of
copy restrictrions. Wiki only allows two Creative Commons licenses:
Attribution and share-alikes (cc-by-sa). Have a look here what this
means:

If you're looking for a more academic analysis, try this article by
Derek Keats:

Derek is Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Knowledge and Information
Management, so this is a pretty high level academic opinion from the
academy.
Cheers,
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for raising the issue.
I guess we will make do with the available workshops.
I will try my best to rouse awareness about the oncoming workshops.
If we can get more African educators onboard, it might ven be possible
to organize a local workshop among ourselves!
I will let me you know as i go about it.
I will be trying my hands on the tutorials to improve myself and i
hope you'd find time to pass your comments and advice.
Thanks once again.

Dear Colonel,
This is an interesting subject, Colonel. May I suggest you join the WikiEducator (WE) main discussion list (at the top of the main We page at http://www.wikieducator.org and post your message there again, because this forum will be closed to make room for the next one in due course.
Alternatively, or in addition, you could also join the Teacher Collaboration Forum on WE, to which I would need to subscribe you to., if you let me know http://www.wikieducator.org/Teacher_Collaboration. This way you would reach around 1500 people using both lists
Warm wishes,
Patricia
