Instructions for Day 8
Hello Everybody,

We can't believe it is Friday already. We hope you are enjoying week 2 of our training workshop.

We went through the user pages again and certified where appropriate. Congratulations, well done! Some of you have really made progress since last week. A few others are almost there, don't forget to demonstrate the skills you have learned last week on your user pages, so we will be able to certify you.

Instructions for Day 8 Today we will learn how to
 * use the 'Discussion or Talk pages' in the wiki,
 * explore some useful features like the Watchlist, and the
 * use 'My Contributions' link.

In other words, we will discuss that is there an easy way to monitor changes to pages you edit? How do we keep track of individual contributions made in the wiki? Today we will learn and experiment with a few powerful features in the wiki. Video Tutorial

The video tutorial for todays session is available at http://wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/eL4C50/Workshop_schedule#Instructions_for_Day_8 Instructions for Day 8 Work through Tutorial 8 on Communication and Interaction Tools (see link http://wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_rich_text_editor_tutorials/Communication_and_interaction)

Test the feature of adding a discussion item which relates to a content page in the wiki. See the discussion activity linked to the talk page of our course schedule (this page). You can also access the corresponding talk page by clicking on the "Discussion" tab you see at the top the page in your browser. Leave a personal message on the User page of at least three different participants who have started working on their user pages. To do this -- you need to go to the respective User Page by clicking on a blue coloured link under the surname of our participant list (http://wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/eL4C50/Participants#Participant_list). Then click on the "Discussion" tab of the User page concerned (top of the page). Comment on something positive you have seen on User Page, particularly if you have some ideas for improvement. If you're do receive a message from one of the participants -- send a reply to by clicking on their User Name which is displayed in the automatic signature below the message.
