IUT 2009 MediaWiki Workshop/Activities

Jump to: navigation, search



The activities in this workshop will be separated into introductory and intermediate topics. The introductory topics will parallel the WikiEducator tutorials that are used heavily for face-to-face and online Learning4Content workshops. The introductory tutorials for this workshop are in between the full WikiEducator tutorials and the quickstart guide because this workshop is condensed into three hours compared to the two or three day face-to-face Learning4Content workshops. If at any point you need more information about an introductory topic do not hesitate to navigate to the WikiEducator tutorials using the Help link in the left-hand sidebar.

Introductory Topics

If you are new to working with a wiki, a good path is to complete the tutorials below in the order that they appear. Before you can edit a page on WikiEducator (which you will be doing regularly) you must create an account on WikiEducator. If you are unfamiliar with creating a user account for internet activities, introductory activity 2 will step you through the process.
