Objectives

After reading this subsection, you will see the list of pedagogical templates used in WikiEducator be able to insert an instruction device using the Template syntax review the list of template names identify an error in the syntax

Wiki syntax for iDevice templates

A template is called using a predefined label and the text for your iDevice separated by "|" and all enclosed between two "{{ }}" braces. For example, the following syntax will be used for a Self-assessment question:

{{Preknowledge|Think about a situation when you ....type the rest of your preknowlege text here}} .

The example above will render as follows:

Preknowledge

Think about a situation when you ....type the rest of your preknowlege text here

They introduced me to the Webcast Academy and Worldbridges.One impressive collaborative international project that came out of this was Earthcast08 at edtechtalk.com [1]Voicethread of Earthcast08.

Reflection

Open education resources such as wikipedia, wikinews, travelwiki, wikiversity, arXiv.org can be peer reviewed for quality control. The advantage of using something like the Open Educational Resource materials (OERs)provided in wiki communities is that you can dispense with copyright worries. They are all made to be freely redistributed and you can legally create derivative works from them. In regard to creating OERs I have been thinking about copyright. It varies from country to country. In the U.S. copyright laws can be found at the Library of Congress. When creating an online course at an accredited university there are two main considerations that stand out. 1) The copyrighted material you use cannot be distributed in a public forum. You must limit the sharing of the materials to students who are enrolled in the course, and it must be password protected. 2) The digitized (scanned) copyrighted material that you use in the course cannot be saved on the server after the course is finished. You have to remove it from the server when your course finishes. 3) In addition, the amount of the material you may legally use under fair use (sorry it has another name in th UK which escapes me at the moment, maybe fair dealing?) should be comparable to the amount that you would use in a face to face classroom. One outcome of my reflections regarding copyright is I coined the word copyfright and published the definition at The Urban Dictionary]. n. 1. Copyfright is a brand of copyright that strips the author of all of his rights. It is so airtight that the author cannot even publish his own work to another journal or post it on his home page without giving credit to the publisher ; n. 2. The state of shock induced by restrictive copyright compliance regulations. adj. pertaining to practices of restrictive copyright applications such as coprfright police, copyfright nazi, copyfright conglomerates, copyfright industry giants. Example: OERs (Open Educational Resources) are one way around the copyfright restrictions. Prime examples of OERs are Wikipedia, Wikinews, Wikiversity, Wikiquote, Wikitionary, and Wiki books. They operate under free licensing like creative commons and GNU. Example: Q: Why does Dave look dazed? A: He just read the contract he has to sign to get his research published and is suffering from copyfright. Example: The contract that the best and most prestigious publishers require researchers to sign before agreeing to publish articles is blatant copyfright. Example: Don't let copyfright intimidate you from freely sharing your knowledge. Choose free licensing to disseminate your work online, and bypass all the copyfright legal traps. Example: In academia in order to become well known and get tenure, you have to sell your soul to the copyfright monolith. See also copyleft And copyright
