SKSI/MeetingNotes/2021-09-01 Meeting

Present: Varunesh, Rumanusina, William, Wayne, Dave

Wayne provided a demonstration of [pushing a course] from Wikieducator to the MiLLL WordPress Multisite using a copy of the DS4OERS course content outline in the wiki.

William and Varunesh asked questions to clarify WordPress' and potentially Moodle's role in these courses, if the content comes from Wikieducator...

There was general discussion about the power afforded us via this bounty of FOSS tools.

Wayne also mentioned the need to help people in Samoa learn enough to start taking advantage of these platforms, e.g. to get the most out of the WordPress multisite providing individual sites for schools, we need to offer a course/training opportunities for teachers at the schools to build their WordPress sites for their schools.

William and Varunesh mentioned their Moodle group - a community of practice/interest as an example of what they think should be set up to help organise people in Samoa and the South Pacific in general to make the most of these new technology learning opportunities. We could facilitate those communities of interest using the MiLLL Discourse Forum and perhaps a Rocket.Chat instance...

William also pointed out that MESC has a particular interest in hosting their own BigBlueButton instance, as well as a Mailcow instance to provide a migration option for their FreeBSD-based mail system.

Here's a video recording of the meeting.
