Hi Mackiwg, With the LT, interaction is now enhanced. This is more motivating. Is it possible to have this type of communication ealier in the tutorials? I can see more participation especially at the first discussion assignment about the quality of OERs. LiZ

Hello everybody,

This is part of Tutorial 8, so here I am leaving a message on this thread.

I find this tool pretty nifty in the wiki!

Reading through the comments in the thread, I think that this is also a good tool to get people practising editing input from other people. My learners rarely want to edit the work of others directly but are happy about leaving comments (like in pbwiki comment feature) and so using this thread tool would be like a 'soft introduction' to this 'participative editing culture'.

For example, I'm randomly copy/pasting a comment already posted in this thread, then editing it as a model for ELT learners:

Newbies were Folk were not sure where to place their reponses,
# Derekc (Talk | contribs)
  1. 22:19, 18 October 2007

and would suggest that it reads better as

Newbies were folk who were not sure where to place their reponses,

After this stepping stone, learners could then be encouraged to make direct edits to content pages.

My question now is: I have just copy/pasted the source in the thread to take the reader back to the original author and date of posting. Is there a better way to do this in this thread? --Mowik 10:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I have read so many apologies for late posting that I intorduce my response with "ditto". However, I am really glad to be part of a community that has the potential to do great work though this collaborative methodology

Hi Wayne!

Achieving great progress slowly! It's a wonderful thing but I've got to organise a regular wiki window into my hectic schedule. As I am beginning to discover, my wiki time will become more valuable the more I use it! Can I ask, are there any tips on striking the right balance of time devoted to wiki usage?

Best wishes,

Stephen

Hello, I am a participant in L4C14, testing the reply feature in Tutorial 8. I'm not sure if this is the current place to do this as the tutorial is a bit confusing. The thread mentioned in the activity box is not the same as that in the tip below the box.

Anyway, hope the workshop is going as well for them as it is for me.

Cheers,

This is a test reply in the Communication and interaction function of WikiEducator. I can see a lot of potential for this, particularly to negotiate content while writing open content materials in a collabortive environment and provide quality content that is consensus based.

The possibilities are endless to what can be achieved when great minds collaborate for the common good. Juan Medford

Hi Sanjaya,

I agree with your apreciation. WIkiEducator have as Juan described below "endeless possibilities". In my opinio, after you learn the basics, creativity plays an important role fot the use of this tool.

Hello Sir,

I am Saravanan.S from Annamalai University and now i am practicing how to reply on threads on discussion with communication & interaction function of WikiEducator.

Hi Sanjaya, just testing the talk pages for the training.  :-)

I'm not sure what I think of LT yet. Sort of a regression in threaded discussion, why not just incorporate the worlds best threaded discussion we already have?


I must say though I have read a lot of discussion on Wikipedia over the past months, ever since I made my first tentative edit. The thread I was reading yesterday was on Drupal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Drupal  :-)


That's it from me. I have a confession. When I started this (at 3.00am in the morning last week as I headed for the airport) it was here in LT I thought I was supposed to be writing. Some of my chicken scratching comments are there, but no-one noticed them.

Hi Derek ...

It's a tough call - a Wiki is a wiki and it shouldn't try to grow up into something which it isn't. In that sense - the Wiki shouldn't try to replicate successful technologies like threaded discussion.

The challenge we were facing in WikiEducator - is that many new users were finding it difficult to communicate in a unstructured environment. Newbies were Folk were not sure where to place their reponses, how to start new discussions, forgetting to sign posts, not sure how to indent etc.

LQT has another interesting feature derived from the wiki way - namely the feature of archiving posts - which will encourage the community to remain actively engaged by writing these summaries. We'll see how this works.

LQT is very much still a standard wiki page - you can edit my post! (This of course will be duly recorded in the history.). LQT uses the standard wiki syntax which useful when discussing syntax etc.

For me LQT should be judged in terms of making it easier for folk to communicate within the wiki rather than comparing it to other dedicated technologies.
