About EL4C33
EL4C33 was a 5 day workshop that encompassed what is normally done in 10 days. The initial messages were sent via emails and then participants used a Moodle Course Management System (CMS) and  WikiEducator to introduce themselves. The tutorials and forum discussions were conducted on WikiEducator. EL4C33 had two live online events on WiZiQ at the beginning of the workshop and at the end to showcase participants userpages and discuss their OERs.

Each of the participants who completed all the tutorials and reached WikiMaster level 1 (or higher) received the following badge in their personal information box:

 * inform about WikiEducator's concept and projects including existing OER content.

Nellie Deutsch
I enjoyed co-facilitating the online workshop using WikiEducator as the main learning environment.

The current workshop used Moodle instead of google group. The registered members were enrolled in the Moodle (CMS) to facilitate the process of having to register in two systems. The process went very smoothly. However, I do not think there is any need to have another system for the L4C online workshops. I believe we can manage the process of connecting with the participants via emails sufficient. Participants find membership in two systems (google groups/Moodle and WikiEducator) confusing.
