RE: [WikiEducator] Abridged summary of wikieducator@googlegroups.com - 1 Message in 1 Topic
Hi Ramesh - regarding the below, these officers are new to Wikieducator and OERs apart from the person mentioned. I am sorry that I have been a bit offline regarding WikiEducator development for a while, and I am not sure - is this course the standard email-based WikiEducator skills training, which included introduction and OERs or is it a more specialised course focusing on OERs? My plan is to start by helping the half dozen officers sign up with WE accounts and join in with them, and then follow up with a face to face workshop where we can build on the skills and focus on their particular content development. Does that sound suitable? [?]
