INFOSEEK, my OER on WikiEducator

Here are the learning objectives defined for my OER INFOSEEK (Information Literacy Modules to be developed on WikiEducator)

My Learning 4 Content Workshop Showcase
Here are My Sandbox exhibits


 * My eL4C33 WiZiQ Presentation

My Reflection
My objective of joining eL4C33 Workshop is to collaborate with National and Global Educators and foster Quality Open Content Movement. I started this workshop thinking that I can fulfill all the workshop requirements easily. But, once I began to follow daily instructions, I found it’s difficult to cope with my office workload and workshop obligations.

As a participant of Moodle Workshop, I experienced how challenging it is for Nellie and Gladys to retain our learning fervor. So, determined to complete all Learning Tasks and Learning Activities required to become a WikiBuddy. Got totally immersed in the Workshop and attained WikiArtisan status, double promotion from Wiki Apprentice. Credit goes to Nellie and Gladys, my workshop facilitators.

Day 1
Day 1 - 14 December 20090 was not that hectic. Completed few general tasks:
 * Completed newbie survey
 * Set my Preferences
 * Edited my Infobox
 * Signed My Learning Contract, but forgot to mail to facilitators!!!

Day 2
Day 2- 15 December 2009, started playing with My Sandbox. But, got totally involved and devoted most of my time on practicing in detail each Learning Activity.
 * Introduced myself and replied to Gladys and Nellie and captured the syntax from Nellie's UserPage to change font color. But, used different color code.
 * Formatted text and experimented various features, viz.,
 * bold, italics, bold & italics
 * font color and face
 * line break
 * Bullets & numbers
 * Used heading levels
 * Created a new page INFOSEEK and experimented the following:
 * Font color
 * Font face
 * Indentions
 * Line break
 * Creating link to an existing WikiEducator page
 * Inserting image (Information Literacy Logo), aligning center

Day 3
Day 3 - 16 December 2009
 * WiZiQ recording was helpful in using syntax for Internal links and External links and piped pages, and also uploading images and other media files.
 * Experimented with the syntax Image:file_name|type|location|size|caption
 * Aligned images
 * Framed images
 * Uploaded a pdf file
 * Added box Cape Town OED in my Infobox, lots of confusion in using curly braces

Day 4
Day 4 - 17 December 2009
 * Practiced collaborative editing
 * Identified recent changes, history (comparing two versions)
 * Communicated and interacted
 * Wished to be a WikiNeighbour, so visited newest members page and posted a message at Vinsri's discussion page
 * posted my query regarding syntax for inserting a box item.

Day 5
Day 5 - 18 December 2009
 * iDevices quite useful for structuring and designing pedagogicaly-sound OERs
 * Used Objectives and Summary devices
 * Added a sub-page List of Publications
 * Joined as WikiEducator Ambassdor at India node and opened a discussion thread in |My Talk Page to avoid red mark/link

This is my learning itinerary from WikiApprentice Level 1 to WikiArtisan. Aiming at next level/s !!!

Looking forward to collaborating with WikiEducators, who wish to promote Open Content Movement. If interested, please drop your message here
