SKSI/MeetingNotes/2021-09-15 Meeting

Present: Dave, Varunesh, William, Wayne, Nehru, Rumanusina

Wayne demo'd DS4OERS course currently running on https://pacificopencourses.col.org/ds4oers/ and pointing out that MESC and the LLL now have the technologies required to run such a course in Samoa, using MESC's own infrastructure.

William says have received delivery of new hardware (boxes with server racks visible behind him) they are very interested in creating a MailCow and BigBlueButton system on their new infrastructure.

Wayne mentioned the https://school.milll.ws WordPress multisite proposed a pilot to get a small number of representative Samoan schools building their own websites creating a representative of the requirements for such a site, and work towards building a theme template to make it easier for other schools.

William says it would need to be taken by Nehru for the executive management team to discuss, esp those in the curriculum area.

Dave demonstrated the WordPress Multisite tutorial and discussed the plans to separate out various common elements of each tutorial to make it easier to build further tutorials for Discourse and Moodle (for example).

Wayne suggests that we produce a list of possible topics for training/PD for people at MESC to select from among, to guide individual participation in future sessions. The OERF will produce that list.

The meeting was recorded (video).
