Mediawiki refresher training on Jan 25
by Rosario Passos 05 Jan '17

05 Jan '17

Hi there everyone, Clint Lalonde, my colleague at BCcampus whom most of you may know, has kindly agreed to lead us through a refresher training session on Mediawiki on January 25, at 1pm.I have just sent you all a meeting invite so that the date is booked on your calendars. Thank you Clint! :-) In order to participate in the session, you will need a BCcampus account. If you worked on any of the content that already exists in the Mediawiki (https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Category:BCOER) chances are you already have an account. You may not remember your login credentials, but you can recover them from the login page. If you do not have a BCcampus account, then you should email helpdesk(a)bccampus.ca and request one ahead of the training session. I have explained to Clint that he will have two audiences: * A group of folks who have worked on the Mediawiki in the past, but have forgotten how to go about it because it has been a while since they added/updated any content * A group of folks who are totally new to Mediawiki We are going to keep this session fairly informal and Clint will try to respond to the differing needs of these two groups as much as possible. However, if you worked in Mediawiki before, and you have an idea of what topics may be helpful for Clint to cover in the session, could you send me those in a separate email? I will then compile them all and send to Clint to help him streamline the training. On a last note, Clint would like to use Blue Jeans for the session. In the meeting invite, I included the joining instructions, and I am including them here as well, just in case you find it easier to have them on an email: To join the Meeting: [ https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116 | https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116 ] To join via Browser: [ https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116/browser | https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116/browser ] To join with Lync: [ https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116/lync | https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116/lync ] To join via Cisco Jabber Video: [ https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116/jabber | https://bluejeans.com/1202201302116/jabber ] To join via Room System: Video Conferencing System: bjn.vc -or- [ callto:199.48.152.152 | 199.48.152.152 ] Meeting ID : 1202201302116 To join via phone : 1) Dial: [ callto:+1.416.900.2956 | +1.416.900.2956 ] [ callto:+1.888.240.2560 | +1.888.240.2560 ] (see all numbers - [ http://bluejeans.com/numbers | http://bluejeans.com/numbers ] ) 2) Enter Conference ID : 1202201302116 Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this refresher training.

Hi there everyone, As discussed at our last meeting, I have made arrangements about a Mediawiki webinar. Clint Lalonde has kindly agreed to share his knowledge of working with MediaWiki with our group sometime in January, so now we just have to set a date. I created a Doodle poll with some options: [ http://doodle.com/poll/22z9dwvumuwwayrg | http://doodle.com/poll/22z9dwvumuwwayrg ] So, please check the poll and select the date an time that best works for you, so that we can book the date with Clint. Hope you are getting into the Christmas spirit, and I wish you all the Merriest of Christmases and the Happiest of New Years! Cheers, Rosario Passos Advisor, Open Education BC campus | connect.collaborate.innovate.

Resources from eCampus Alberta
by Rosario Passos 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

Hi everyone, At our last meeting I mentioned that with the closure of eCampus Alberta they are looking for "homes" for some of their free resources, like Moodle courses. I mentioned that some of you folks might be interested in looking at the Copyright course, especially Lindsay :-) I know that Langara is looking at creating an open resource for faculty about copyright and CC licenses. So maybe you can use some of the resources from the Moodle course to integrate into your own content... Just an idea. Having said that here are the links to the Moodle courses that are available to all for free: * Copyright: [ https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=6498 | https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=6498 ] * Online Course Development Certification: [ https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=6307 | https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=6307 ] * Universal Design for Learning: [ https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=7091 | https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=7091 ] * Open Educational Resources: [ https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=6979 | https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/course/view.php?id=6979 ] And here is the download link for the copyright shell course: [ https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/mod/resource/view.php?id=396542 | https://moodle.gprc.ab.ca/mod/resource/view.php?id=396542 ] just in case Lindsay is interested :-) If any of you think that your institutions may be interested in hosting these courses moving forward, I know that the Alberta folks are looking for homes for their resources after March 2017. BCcampus is having a conversation about hosting them but we have not made a final decision. :-) Anyway, I will just leave these with you.
