Educators from across the globe are working together to build free OERs that can be used in a variety of teaching situations. These OERs can be re-contextualized and repackaged (outside the WikiEducator development environment) for use in their own teaching and learning situations. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_are_the_Values_of_WikiEducator.3F">What are the Values of WikiEducator?</span></h3> <p>Our community is about openly sharing and collaborating because we know that working together we will achieve more than we can by working alone. Already, we have a lot of evidence to show that our approach works - and continuously draws people into our community. (This helps us to be sustainable while building capacity.) </p><p><br /> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_is_the_Strategy_for_WikiEducator.3F">What is the Strategy for WikiEducator?</span></h3> <p>Please see the <a href="/WikiEducator:About#Strategy" title="WikiEducator:About">strategy</a> for developing a free version of the educational curriculum by 2015. There are three phases: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tr> <th> Phases </th> <th> Theme </th> <th> Description </th> <th> Date </th></tr> <tr> <td> Phase I </td> <td> Establishing foundations </td> <td> Setting up the technologies and processes to facilitate community development for free content. </td> <td> May 2006 - December 2007 </td></tr> <tr> <td> Phase II </td> <td> Scaling up free content development </td> <td> Scaling up the rate and quality of free content development building on Phase 1 foundations. (This includes community development activities with a focus on scalable capacity development.) </td> <td> Jan 2008 - Dec 2008 </td></tr> <tr> <td> Phase III </td> <td> Sustainable implementation of free content in education </td> <td> Prioritising activities which implement free content into mainstream educational activities. </td> <td> January 2009 - 2015 </td></tr></table> <p><br /> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Can_I_attract_donor_.2F_research_funding_by_developing_open_educational_content_on_WikiEducator.3F">Can I attract donor / research funding by developing open educational content on WikiEducator?</span></h3> <p>Yes. We already have significant examples. In the future, funders will start asking -- "Why should I fund this closed project when I can fund an open project that will achieve a greater scalability and return on investment?" (Funders are increasingly recognizing that there's a lot of duplication, and restrictions in how closed learning materials can be used, and for various devices and formats. In many cases, this mitigates their ROI.) There is an emerging wave of funders that collectively subscribe to the notions of "open philanthropy". There is also the ethical question relating to research grants from government sources --- this is public money and we should be asking whether it is ethical or not to lock down the outputs of research behind full copyright especially when funded from tax monies. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_Communities_are_Involved_in_WikiEducator.3F">What Communities are Involved in WikiEducator?</span></h3> <p>There are many communities, stakeholders and strategic partners working towards WikiEducator's success. We are in the process of creating a more intuitive way of identifying, and connecting to them. In the meantime, please see these pages: </p> <ul> <li> <a href="/Community_building_project" title="Community building project">Community Building Project</a> </li> <li> <a href="/Initiatives" title="Initiatives">Projects & Initiatives</a> </li> <li> <a href="/WikiEducator:Community_Portal" title="WikiEducator:Community Portal" class="mw-redirect">Community Portal</a> </li> </ul> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="How_can_I_Be_More_Connected_to_the_WikiEducator_Community.3F">How can I Be More Connected to the WikiEducator Community?</span></h3> <p>Please join the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://groups.google.com/group/wikieducator?hl=en">WikiEducator Google Discussion Group</a>, and make a post announcing your project, interests, and/or call for help and collaboration. </p><p>Please consider a <a href="/Pilot_Projects" title="Pilot Projects">Pilot Project</a> - do let us know, and we'll do our best to support you! </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_Roles_.26_Opportunities_are_available_in_WikiEducator.3F">What Roles & Opportunities are available in WikiEducator?</span></h3> <p>There are many roles and opportunities available to help us reach our goal of a free education curriculum for the world by 2015. (i.e., WikiNeighbour, editors, technical help, instructional designer). Please see the following pages for updated information: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wikieducator.org/Community_building_project/Roles">WikiEducator Roles</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wikieducator.org/Wishlist">WikiEducator Wishlist</a> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Who_are_WikiEducator_Ambassadors.3F">Who are WikiEducator Ambassadors?</span></h3> <ul> <li>A WikiEducator Ambassador is a person who believes in the value of WikiEducator, and promotes WikiEducator as a platform for free educational resources, collaborative development and global network-building - connected to their own institution, community, peers, or even within their own <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wikieducator.org/Countries">country</a>. <i>It is a person who shows leadership behaviour, but does not necessarily have to be in a formal leadership position.</i> For more info, click <a href="/Ambassador" title="Ambassador">here</a>. </li> </ul> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Is_WikiEducator_a_Community_of_Support.3F">Is WikiEducator a Community of Support?</span></h3> <p>Yes. WE can help you in many ways, from designing more effective lesson plans, to sourcing technical advice to finding international partners. We're here to help you, and in turn help each other - in away that is open, transparent and consistent with the values of the Freedom Culture Movement. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="How_can_I_Start_a_Project_Page.3F">How can I Start a Project Page?</span></h3> <p>As the folks from Nike say, "just do it". Start a project page in WE to document your thoughts and ideas for a potential project. (Check out the full list of [Initiatives|WE Projects]].) Make a clear statement that this is an open project which subscribes to the values of the WE community. This way the community can see what you are trying to achieve.

They are one of but a few international OER projects that use a content license (CC-BY) which meets the requirements of the free cultural works definition. As such I'm very keen to explore collaborations with Connexions, particularly in the area of re-mixing content between our respective projects. </p><p>There are minor differences in the process and design approaches used by our respective projects. WikiEducator is founded on the wiki-model of peer collaboration whereas Connexions' processes are more akin to the "producer-consumer" model of OER content development. Both approaches have their respective advantages and disadvantages in building a sustainable OER ecosystem. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_Copyright_Licensing_Arrangements_Does_WikiEducator_Use.3F">What Copyright Licensing Arrangements Does WikiEducator Use?</span></h3> <p>WikiEducator subscribes to the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://freedomdefined.org/Definition">free cultural works definition</a> and we only permit licenses that are approved as free cultural works: </p> <ul> <li> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/">Creative Commons Attribution</a> (CC-BY) </li> <li> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/">Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike License</a> (CC-BY-SA) </li> </ul> <p>The default license is the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">CC-BY-SA</a> license.

However, by combining the strengths of wiki software, LMSs and eXe, WikiEducator can add value to e-education, and build on the demonstrated strengths of collaborative authoring of open content This content can be packaged and re-contextualised for use within your LMS - using interoperability specifications like IMS and SCORM. </p><p><b>With the eXe tool it is possible to:</b> </p> <ul> <li> import learning content from WikiEducator and other MediaWikis (by using the 'wiki article' iDevice from within eXe); </li> <li> adapt and refine the content for your own teaching situation; </li> <li> customise the content by adding your own instructional elements like learning objectives, case studies and certain question types using eXe; </li> <li> export as an IMS/SCORM content package for use in your own LMS. </li> </ul> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Is_WikiEducator_a_Wikimedia_Foundation_project.3F">Is WikiEducator a Wikimedia Foundation project?</span></h3> <p>No, WikiEducator is not a project of the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Our_projects">Wikimedia Foundation</a>. </p><p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://en.wikibooks.org/">Wikibooks</a> are examples of Wikimedia Foundation projects. Wikieducator uses the <a class="external text" href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a> software, the same software used to run Wikimedia Foundation projects. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_is_the_fundamental_component_of_a_WikiEducator_.22document.22.3F">What is the fundamental component of a WikiEducator "document"?</span></h3> <p>The foundational element of a wiki is a digital content node that is authored by a community of wiki users. For example: </p> <ul> <li> In <b>Wikipedia</b> the foundational document is an <b>encyclopedia article</b>; </li> <li> In <b>Wikibooks</b>, the core document is a <b>text book</b>; </li> <li> In <b>Wikinews</b>, the basic component is a <b>news article</b>. </li> </ul> <p>In WikiEducator the foundational component is a concept which is loosely described as a content component which is inherently understandable. Concepts are the building blocks of instructional content. Concepts can be structured, for example, according to disciplines or the level of the anticipated target audience. Conceivably, an extensive collection of concepts could constitute the material for a course. However, selecting a concept as the core component of a WikiEducator document provides for the flexibility required by educators to utilise WikiEducator resources in their courses. Moreover, this facilitates a range of alternatives for educators to incorporate their own instructional elements into courses. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="eXe_is_Free_Software_Tool_-_Specially_Designed_for_Teachers.2C_Educators_and_Publishers_of_Learning_Content">eXe is Free Software Tool - Specially Designed for Teachers, Educators and Publishers of Learning Content</span></h3> <p>eXe is a free, open source software application that offers additional flexibility and control for teachers, educators and publishers of learning content. You can download a free copy from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://exelearning.org">eXe project website</a>, and install it onto your computer. </p><p>eXe enables you to create (offline) eLearning content that can be put up as a web site or imported into a Learning Management System. eXe will also allow you to easily input and configure your learning content and resources for your context, without needing HTML or XML markup skills. This differs from other learning object repositories, where it is difficult to reconfigure the resources for local contexts, and they require more technical knowledge. </p><p><br /> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Can_I_use_eXe_to_author_Mediawiki_pages.3F">Can I use eXe to author Mediawiki pages?</span></h3> <p>No. However, you can import articles from Wikipedia and Wikibooks pages using the eXe Wikipedia iDevice. There is also a dedicated WikiEducator iDevice for incorporating content from this wiki site. This enables teachers to customise and recontextualise content for local student needs. Authors using eXe can also export their eLearning packages using the IMS or SCORM export facility for delivery in the Learning Management System of your choice. We are exploring ways in which to improve seamless imports and exports between eXe and MediaWiki software, but the rate of development is determined by user demand and available funding. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Where_do_I_get_the_free_eXe_software_application.3F">Where do I get the free eXe software application?</span></h3> <p>You can download a copy of the latest version of eXe from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://exelearning.org">project website</a>. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_is_the_WikiEducator_Wishlist.3F">What is the WikiEducator Wishlist?</span></h3> <p>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wikieducator.org/Wishlist">WikiEducator Wishlist</a> is a page where you can go to see potential opportunities, and what we need to achieve our goal of a free education curriculum for the world by 2015. Please bookmark this <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wikieducator.org/Wishlist">page</a>, add to it, and check it often. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Is_there_an_API_like_that_of_MediaWiki.3F_And_is_it_available_for_use.3F">Is there an API like that of MediaWiki? And is it available for use?</span></h3> <p>Yes. WikiEducator runs on the MediaWiki software. The API is accessible from <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://WikiEducator.org/api.php">http://WikiEducator.org/api.php</a> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Can_you_access_structured_data_through_the_same_means_as_db_pedia.3F">Can you access structured data through the same means as db pedia?</span></h3> <p>No. While WikiEducator encourages the use of templating to impose a bit of structure on its content, it is just a convention, and one that is not at all rigorously applied. The project has not gotten large enough that anyone has addressed pulling out structured resources. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="How_might_we_include_interactive_tests_that_could_lead_to_a_c4c_internal_cert_type_deal.3F">How might we include interactive tests that could lead to a c4c internal cert type deal?</span></h3> <p>It is not currently practical. There has been some discussion of implementing quizzing following the eXe scheme, and it may fall out of some upcoming work, but there is no current solution. I believe Rob Kruhlak has done some experimentation with bringing Javascript-based formative testing to WikiEducator. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="What_about_audio_and_video.3F">What about audio and video?</span></h3> <p>There are two issues here: technical and policy. Technically either are possible. To date (March 2009), the WikiEducator community has been strongly against embedding audio/visual media within the wiki (because of the potential for conflict with the CC-BY, or CC-BY-SA copyright licensing in the wiki). At present, there is no good way to use audio beyond linking to an external container. </p><p>From Wayne: Video is always a challenge. My personal preference is for hosting video in free file formats on the Wikimedia commons and users can download the necessary codecs or browser plugins to play back the files. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Can_I_view_Flash_videos_on_my_iPad.3F">Can I view Flash videos on my iPad?</span></h3> <p>There is a free app "Rover - the browser for education".
