Observations and thoughts.

I'm duly impressed with the speed your team has mastered the wiki model for publishing content. My comments and suggestions provide ideas for improving the course.

  1. When linking to a document uploaded on the wiki, you need to use the URL which points to the actual file (rather than the URL for Mediawiki's viewer) because the course is published on a separate website and needs the "absolute" url for the location of the file, for example: https://wikieducator.org/images/c/c8/Lecture_2_Conceptualising_Social_entrepreneurship%2C_innovation_and_enterprise.pdf (Not the url which initates the file viewer in the wiki: https://wikieducator.org/File:Lecture_2_Conceptualising_Social_entrepreneurship,_innovation_and_enterprise.pdf)
  2. As far as I can see the Grieco, 2015 Chapter is all rights reserved - You cannot upload all rights reserved content in the wiki (or an OERu course ;-)). I recommend finding alternative open access resources. I quick search of the DOAJ revealed this publication: http://timreview.ca/sites/default/files/article_PDF/Saifan_TIMReview_February2012_2.pdf . Not sure if this is a suitable substitute.
  3. I recommend "chunking" the subsections of the page into separate subpages for the learning pathway. You could create the following sub-pages for this pathway:
    • Overview or Objectives
    • Key concepts
    • Social enterprise
    • Fighting chance
    • Additional resources
    • Quiz
  4. Generating subpages for each pathway has the following advantages:
    • Promoting consistency across "standard" OERu courses (means easier reuse of support materials)
    • More meaningful site statistics - i.e seeing what pages learners engage with.
    • Ability to integrate better engagement - eg WENote comments for sharing thoughts on video snippets.
  5. Have you thought about integrating a "Learning challenge" for each pathway. This could take the form of a reflective blog post which learners post on their own course blogs.

Just a few thoughts and ideas :-).
