Template:Create eL4C main page

Home Welcome to eL4C free wiki skills workshop !!

Open Education Resources (OER) is becoming much more pervasive in tertiary education. Developing content which can be shared within one institution, or across continents represents a powerful paradigm shift in the distribution methods of learning content and courseware from traditional publishing models to those which are open and collaborative in nature. Major initiatives from leading institutions to provide open courseware further support the growth of this segment of online learning.

WE extend an open invitation to all educators around the world to join us on WikiEducator to receive a free basic Wiki editing skills online training in exchange for one Open Education Resource (free lesson plan, student guide, teacher handout or other lesson) developed on the Wiki.

Usage Examples
For an example of what the page will look like see eL4C32

Via transclusion
Might not be the best  method since subsequent workshops would need to worry about changing past workshops.

Number corresponds to the eL4C workshop number.

Via substitution
Probably the most appropriate method since we will be free to modify the template for future workshops.

Note that the navigation template for the workshop will need to be created independently.
