Framing the Sprints: from 'making' to 'sharing' OERs

MM Matt McGregor Public Seen by 289

Thus far, the sprints have been framed as an opportunity to 'make' new resources for kiwi educators.

But there are plenty of educators that have a bunch of great resources on their hard-drives - and, for many different reasons, have been reluctant to share.

Before we do a bigger promotional push to schools, I'd be interested to see what people think about emphasising the sprints as an opportunity to improve and publish resources - openly and legally - that teachers have already made.

Re git. Consider github as it provides you with the option to add a wiki to any project. There is no requirement to upload any file, you can simply use the wiki. Another option is to use tiddlywiki on github.io -- example http://welford.github.io/. TiddlyWiki is a wiki that you can use on your computer (offline) and publish online when you are ready. To create a new wiki would take only 3 step (1) login (2) fork (3) open github.io page and start writing.

Checking out Wikieducator. It is taking well over two minutes to open any page. That could be a real issue on a super high traffic week-end.

More on TiddlyWiki - what it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtCUr83XgyE and how to use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtCUr83XgyE. The main advantage over etherpad is that there are a number of plugins to take care of things like embedding audio or video, math notations, mind maps, time lines, graphs, etc.
