Hi Wikineighbor! (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

Hi! I found WikiEducator last year. I was attending an online conference where Wayne Mackintosh presented. I loved the project. I started to contribute in the Spanish site, but I had personal problems that prevented me from continuing working on the site and finishing the wiki course. I am now back online and currently attending Leigh's course "Facilitating online communities" Thanks for your warm welcome! Violeta.

Thank you and help, from Inpi (1)

Thanks for leaving a message on my page and for your suggestion.

I'll complete the list of my interests. Definitely there must be a lot of people in our WE community who are better than me. I'm sure, I'll be able to learn a lot from them. Cheers! Godfrey

ping Jtneill 08:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Randy, yes, I'm on skype james_neill and happy to chat; BUT when testing out wikis I prefer to use the talk features on the wiki itself; partly as a record for my own learning (e.g., I've had useful IRC chats before but they leave little legacy content for my own and others' learning). It seems to me that the liquid thread stuff messes around the way the way message notification works; e.g., it seems to flag that I have messages when anything is added to a talk page associated with a page on my watchlist!? I'm concerned that if as an experienced wiki user I'm confused, that my students would find it even more confusing. What's your experience with using WE with students in this respect? -- Jtneill - Talk 00:26, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi James,

Yes, I understand....I think that the Liquid Threads is a bit buggy in places...I've found myself, that I get messages that are for the overall list, or in reply to something I've forgotten about....

Anyways, the thing is, if I can be of support to you, please don't hesitate - I'll do my best to help, and if I can't I will bring others in....

do yo have specific things that you would like to do, here on this wiki -I know you've talked about it....

Hey! I see you've used the new collaborative video feature on your wiki. How did you enjoy using it? Have you thought of maybe adding it on to your favorite articles? Would you mind if people added on media to you videos? Let me know, Avigail

Hey Randy -- thanks for the L4C refinements (1)

Big thanks for your work on the L4C -- you've got rid of the academic speak. Great.

Wow -- sounds like a great project -- where do I sign up!

Cheers

Hey Wayne,

Thanks for the kudos. I'm glad I could contribute to the L4C Template, and do my wordsmithing magic!

One of the great things about working with you is that YOU are so empowering, supportive and open to feedback and collaboration. Since I've known you, you've set the bar with your energetic unflailing commitment to the free software movement - and you've consistently "walked the talk". A fine example for the New Year.

Over the bow...a Big Thank You! Best for the Holidays.

- Randy

I can only reciprocate what you have said, Randy. Exactly my feeling. It is nice to be part of such a great team. Cheers, Patricia

Wow -- took a look at the Canada country page (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

Wow Randy --

I took a more detailed look at the Canada country page. Are you planning to become the exemplar for the world <smile>

Gee --- you even have a how complete is this country page template!!!!!


Great stuff.

Hey Wayne,

Glad to see ryou smile <smile>!!

I believe there are a lot more things happening with regard to WE, than 'appear' on WE...and I want to reflect that....If we have our community members self-reporting what they are doing, then the pages will get populated, and we can help them to make even more connections....and 'feel' the excitement about what is possible, and what we are creating to together...

In a way, it makes WE even more accessible...by delving deeper into...what I like to call "discovering the undiscovered!"

Also, it's a great way for folks to see 'how' they can become involved...I'm looking forward to learning from others....how we can help them, and they can help us!

Thanks for the kudos ~ I appreciate it!

Open Education Declaration (1)

Hi Randy,

I do hope you will make a few edits to the OED. I did try to introduce it to Wikipedia but, as you know, you're not to campaign around there. Just trying to get my head around this liquid thread approach. 

Thanks for the interest. No need for signatures, right?

Hi, Randy. Thanks for the comments on the K12 Open Ed presentation.
Kfasimpaur 01:24, 18 November 2007 (CET)

Hi Karen,

Sure ~ my pleasure.

When you are happy with your presentation, can you please send me a link to it, and I'll link it to my home page / list of OER links.

--Randy Fisher 01:35, 18 November 2007 (CET)

I think the OER presentation is pretty much done (though will continue to evolve). If you want to post a link, it's at www.k12opened.com/about.

I agree with your comment; very cool function. I picked up on your use of the function in the 'recent changes' and gave it a try using the Automated_Page_Creation. I'm very pleased with the result

Tip - Re Template:Frontpage ... (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

Hi Randy,

You might want to use a different name for your frontpage template - its a bit too generic and runs the risk of another project using the same name.

For the different text feeds on the front page - you may want to use something like:

template:wikigov_fontpage_news

or suitable equivalent.

Again - I'm really very impressed with your wiki skills - this is pretty advanced stuff. You're clearly a wiki natural!

Hi Wayne,

OK, I'm trying to figure this out.

I just created a temporary image for WikiGovernance, and replaced the PCF5 image...you'll see.

Let me try to create the template pages...

Randy

Wow - good work on the Wikigov template (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

I see that you're ahead of the game.

I created a template for Wikigov - not seeing your existing work, so revert my contribution <smile>. I see that you don't need my help anymore. That's FANTASTIC!


Well done.

Pre workshop activity (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

Hi Randy

I've put together a pre workshop activity as part of the Registration Form on the Participants Invitation page. I've tested it by editing my user page through this template format and it seems to work ok. I'll probably catch up with Brent next week and we'll talk over the video idea.

If you're interested there are some changes to the pre workshop activities page. Would appreciate any feedback you might have.

OER Workshop Toolkit (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

Hi Wikirandy

Hmm....not sure what the correct protocol is for communicating at this level with someone you may be aware of in this forum but have not formally been introduced. I guess I'll just introduce myself. My name is Helena Mill and I am the learning Designer with the eXe development team based down here in New Zealand. Wayne has recently asked me to work on the OER Workshop toolkit and has recommended I get in touch with you.


With the timely topic of DAY 8 on Talk pages I thought I would get in touch and start a discussion about pre-workshop activities for the OER Workshop Toolkit. I've had some thoughts on activities for facilitators, e.g thinking about their own (local) networks that may be tapped into and considering various communication media they might access to gauge commitment and advertise workshop details. I understand from Wayne that you've been thinking about activities for participants. I'm keen to discuss these ideas.
