Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Pcinfo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pcinfo~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Final Public Art Project
What did I learn from taking this course? What did I take out of it? What exactly did I pay for? All questions I often ask myself after a quarter has ended. I wish I could tell someone what Humanities is about, but I honestly am not sure if I know myself. We discussed public artists and their work, along with public art in general. We viewed art in Seattle, and had to create our own. We viewed different materials used to create art and how artists have accomplished the task. So, I guess my take on Humanities, is art in the past, present, and future. How art has changed, or grown, throughout the decades in all forms, and how art is perceived. Maybe because I have been ignorant to the topic, is why I lacked participation in the class. I preferred to listen to what others had to say about the subject, rather than be wrong or off track. Maybe if I had asked more questions, I would have a greater understanding of it all. Nonetheless, I found the class to be interesting and enlightening, considering I will probably come across such topics in my career and will need to know about these types of art or artists in particular. I usually learn from my past and try to do things differently the next time. For Humanities II, I will try to obtain a greater understanding of the subject and therefore, really absorb as much as I can from the class.

Bio
My name is Jason Glenister, I'm an Americanized Samoan. My father was in the United States Army for over 27 years, so I had the chance to travel all over the world. He's since retired, and is the District Fleet Supervisor for Waste Management. My mother is a medical transcriptionist & from Lakewood, Washington. I am the oldest out of my brothers: second oldest brother followed my dads footsteps and is serving in the US Army. He is currently stationed at Ft. Bliss, Texas. My youngest brother is a sophmore in high school. I've been into art since I was a little kid. It wasn't until my freshman year in high school that I found a niche in graffiti writing. I continued my illegal wall drawings until the year after i graduated high school. I still dable in graff but my art has since evolved into a neo-tribal, culture clash of graffiti and samoan siapo art. So in conclusion, I've come here to attend the AI of Seattle to be apart of the Graphic Design program & sharpen my skills as an artist. Also hopefully learn different techniques in getting my art to the world. Peace* JasonGlenister 20:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Always Wanted To Schedule

 * Topic-Gauging my ears to size 0

 * Research Component-Internet, health tips from piercers, reliable friends and/or family who have the same gauging done.

 * week 1-Get in touch with your local Tattoo/Piercing shop. Find out as much info from people you may know or the piercer to kind of pick their brain a bit. ( when would you know when to move to a bigger gauge? what would happen if you gauged your ear lobes to fast? what's the best way to keep the area clean? etc. )

 * week 2-Get your necessary "starter" jewelry, begin the process

 * week 3-KEEP IT CLEAN, maybe start looking for the next size up

 * week 4-Hopefully it's time to move up to a bigger gauge, KEEP IT CLEAN

 * week 5-Possibly take a break, and let the gauge settle in your ear lobe..but if comfortable, go ahead and bump up the gauge, KEEP IT CLEAN

 * week 6-KEEP IT CLEAN, start looking for the next size up

 * week 7-Let your ear lobes rest, but if your comfortable, bump the gauge up. Start getting your research done for " Always Wanted To " project

 * week 8-Hopefully I'll be at my desired goal, but if time is a factor and I couldn't complete a 0 gauge then I will continue with my process. ( Maybe I'll even go bigger?? Possible) continue with my project paper.

Ante-Nicene Fathers

The Ante Nicene Fathers is a term used to describe those theologians and writers who predate the Council of Nicaea. Study of the Ante-Nicene Fathers is included in the discipline of patristics (Latin, from pater = father). However, the patristic period extends beyond the Council of Nicaea, until the Council of Chalcedon.

Introduction
The Ante-Nicene Fathers are generally considered to have been active prior to the first quarter of the 4th century A.D., with the patristic period widely regarded as ending 451 A.D. Writing of this period often involves elements which at a later date would be considered heretical, because at this time there was not a formal standard of faith. Consequently, the following list of important figures includes, in combination, proto-Orthodox, Gnostic, and otherwise heretical leaders.

Important Figures

 * Justin Martyr

 * Irenaeus

 * Origen

 * Tertullian

 * Athanasius

 * Clement I

 * Ignatius

 * Polycarp

 * Bardaisan of Edessa

 * Marcion

Justin Martyr B. ca 100, d. ca 165, patron saint of philosophers in the Roman Catholic Church. Justin identified the concept of the Son of God as the life-giving Word (Logos spermatikos) that implants truth in the minds of all people. He also identified Christ as "The New Adam" and Mary as "The New Eve" in whom creation is made new - while Adam and Eve precipitate the fall of man by eating from a tree, Christ regenerates man by dying on one. This concept would prove important for later writers. Justin was executed in the reign of Marcus Aurelius after refusing to sacrifice to the pagan gods. He was scourged and beheaded, earning the surname Martyr.

Irenaeus B. ca 130, possibly in Smyrna, d. ca 200. Bishop of Lyons from 178-200 AD. Irenaeus is most widely known for his publication, Adversus Haereses (Against Heresies), which particularly targeted the movement of Gnosticism. The theology of Irenaeus was one of the single most important contributions to what would become orthodox Christianity in the future. Origen B. ca 185, d. ca 254. Origen was one of the most significant early apologists of the Christian faith. An apologist is a defender against criticism from opponents. He was an important theologian who had a large influence on the development of eastern Christianity, though he would be the subject of persistent attacks as he was allegedly ordained a priest illegitimately. Origen believed in the concept of apocatastasis, or universal salvation (including the future salvation of Satan). Origen's importance lies in two primary areas - in Biblical interpretation, he pioneered the concept of the threefold interpretation of scripture: literal, ethical, and spiritual. By literal is meant the face meaning of the words on the text; ethical means what the text teaches about the relation of man to man and man to God; by spiritual is meant the inner, divine meaning. All three levels exist simultaneously in the text. In Christology, Origen presented the idea that the Father is "more divine" than the Son. This has been perceived as the origin of the heresy of Arianism, and Origen himself was condemned as a heretic for this view.

Tertullian B. ca 160 in Carthage, d. ca 225. Controversial theologian widely considered the founder of western, Latin Christian theology, Tertullian was originally a pagan who converted to Christianity ca. 190. Tertullian was a major opponent of the heresy of Marcionism, and was the first to work out a systematic doctrine of the Trinity. He was a significant proponent of purism in that he rejected any attempts to make Christian theology dependent on external sources such as Academic philosophy, leading him to argue the principle of sufficiency of scripture. Ironically, Tertullian became closely associated with the heresy of Montanism later in life.

Athanasius B. ca 296, d. ca 373. Athanasius served as the bishop of Alexandria and was a key figure at the Council of Nicaea. Especially opposed to the theology of Arianism, Athanasius argued that it was a heresy. Arius believed that Jesus Christ was not in essence divine, but was "adopted" into the role of the Son by God the Father, and therefore Jesus was a human being in totality. Athanasius proved that the theology of Arius implied that salvation through God would be impossible, and that Christians, in worshiping Jesus as Christ and God, would be guilty of idolatry, in violation of the first commandment. Athanasius was instrumental at the Council of Nicaea in having Arianism declared a heresy.

Clement I Pope Clement I, a mysterious figure. There are two extent writings that are attributed to Clement, but dispute exists as to whether either were in fact written by him. The First Letter of Clement, if genuine, would be the oldest surviving Christian document outside the New Testament. The other document, entitled the Second Letter of Clement, or 2 Clement, is neither a letter nor was it written by Clement I. Clement himself is never even named in the letter entitled 1 Clement, however the letter addresses itself to the church in Corinth from the church in Rome. Clement is traditionally identified as the fourth bishop of Rome, however some sources (e.g., Tertullian) claim he was the second, and was ordained by St. Peter. Eusebius claims that Clement was the companion of the apostle Paul (see Phillippians 4:3). Hermas is the first to mention a Christian named Clement, in his Shepherd of Hermas, when he states that he was instructed to send two copies of a book to Clement in Rome in order that they be distributed to other churches. First Clement's primary importance lies in the author showing the necessity of the unity of the church of God.

Ignatius

Polycarp

Bardaisan of Edessa

Marcion

The Ante-Nicene Fathers and Heresy
Certain of the Ante-Nicene fathers (e.g., Justin Martyr) are considered saints, and yet their extant writings include elements that would later be identified as suspect at best (Neo-Platonism). Others, such as Marcion, were excommunicated for heresy in their own lifteme, and still others (Athanasius) contributed greatly to what would become the norm of faith for the Christian church. Athanasius attended the Council of Nicaea.

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

To convene this space, we are inviting others to It would be very powerful to express the OK mission/vision in terms of the intentions of the core group. Then to understand our (OK and personal intentions based) needs as they relate to projects we want to invite in that may be able to contribute to us.
 * 1) express interest in one or more intentions held by OK core group and other members of the network
 * 2) join in taking a stand for largest scope, declaring as a steward of a space or field
 * 3) make specific intentions that they and their organization will also hold.

Auction framework
The CORBA frame is an interface that builds a self-hosting object broker for abstract entities.

OpenKollab is building social software that helps build and enhance quality of life for its user community that presents to the outside world a resilience and strenth that is ostensibly equipped to overcome a world-wide economic downturn. Theoretically, OK can capitalize on abstract surpluses of ideation-coding integrity that the group has developed over a number of years. This integrity and resilience is of representable value in terms of Human Capital. Adding Human Capital to Natural Capital creates an entirely new paradigm of transaction for Human and cybernetic actors.

Trading wheels
The schema is for the transaction of representations of items of value having physical-seeming natures:

Now "physical-seeming" is a clue that these natures are abstract. What we are in effect building is a framework which holds a objects of value in Human terms thought of as an item for sale. Its easy to begin in the realm of the abstract, so much so that our application can be built from the ground up as a package well before any value can be lost due to physical limitations. See /list of physical limitations

CORBA uses an interface definition language (IDL) to specify the interfaces that objects will present to the outside world.

So. Using a metaphoric "object facility" connected with a "data-warehouse" we have what can be thought of, synthesized and constructed as a "cybernetic auction barn". This allows us to use collective intelligence to construct a meeting place on the Internet where people get together and swap things of value. Like a sim game, the framework resembles a mud or mush enviro representations of physicalnment, but includes actual physical objects OR their representations. Like ebay, people can post items for sale and try to attract a body of bidders. OK will have similarities but its distinct feature is that the items are used as conversation pieces and are not actually for sale.

Goals
In this learning project we aim to learn to think of meta-ethics as a story about what people should do and not do. Most people believe there is a kind of moral constitution upon which moral rules are build using a moral reasoning. We try to find this constitution of moral.

Learning materials
Add learning materials here. See also the box below.

Readings and other resources
Each project/lesson/activity may have a suggested reading selection. For example:
 * meta-ethics (Wikipedia)
 * Thinking and Moral (Wikibooks)
 *  ...

Lessons
Read the page Topic:Meta-Ethics.
 * Lesson 1:

Read this quote: "As for what meta-ethics actually is allow us to address this from the sides as opposed to head on. We accept that there is a general concensus as to what is morally acceptable and Good and proper. Even the most staunch Consequentialist will agree with Kant himself that murder is wrong for example."

This so-called 'accepted consensus' is questionable. Think about the acceptance of murder (killing people, abortion, death penalty, war, self defence) and of this accepted consensus.

What do you think of the Grounds for ethics now?

Read this text about euthanasia.
 * Lesson 2:

Try to name and list the grounds for the moral rules in this text.

Rules and judgement connect, where rules excict somebody will judge. Think and discuss:
 * Lesson 3:
 * Who are / is the judge when it comes to grounds of ethical questions?
 * On what grounds do people judge ethical rules?
 * On what grounds do people judge each other?

Activities

 * Activity 2:

Tests and quizzes

Talk:How to be a Wikimedia sysop/Wikiversity

Looking for suggestions/help
How can we improve the training, mentorship, and Wikiversity community satisfaction with custodianship? Feel free to contribute here on the How to be a Wikimedia sysop/Wikiversity page. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:04, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

fostering a "developist" culture compared to a "deletionist" culture <- I'm not sure that everyone would agree with such a conflict-driven view of wiki communities, and there are some that doubt the existence of certain fairy-tale like animals. There are many alternative views that might describe the interactions of wiki contributors. --mikeu talk 18:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've created an advice page on deletion, How to be a Wikimedia sysop/Wikiversity/Deletion. I linked also to a page, not yet created, on Blocking. Wikiversity is, by nature, far more "inclusionist" than the other WMF wikis. That is naturally true of academic environments, in general. Wikipedia could have gone with an "inclusionist" model, but it did not. That was a community choice made, making Wikipedia closer to traditional encyclopedias, where the "sum of human knowledge" means "summary," not "completeness." Wikiversity may actually serve to complete Wikipedia, I've seen that opinion expressed elsewhere. But it will take, obviously, a lot of work! We need to get ready for what it will take, my suggestion. --Abd 14:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ant. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ant~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Re: Frustration
Hi there - and thanks very much for your message. I have to say, I caught it by accident - I don't participate in the site as much as I used to (due to writing up my thesis). I also have to say that I truly empathise with you - I think we could have done a better job at helping people get involved. Having said this, have you taken a look at our help section? Or perhaps Introduction, or Being educational, or other links in the welcome message above? Is anything here of any use to you? If not, how so? Do you have any suggestions for how we could improve the editing/resource development experience? If you do have suggestions, I think it might be good to discuss them on the Colloquium (our general community discussion forum), where you'll be most likely to get wider input. Or you could also leave suggestions for how particular pages could be improved on their talk pages (though bear in mind that they might not be seen by as many people). Thanks again, and I hope your initial frustration won't prevent you from being involved - it's exactly this kind of feedback that should serve to make Wikiversity better. :-) Cormaggio talk 08:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

re File:Intercept_theorem_proof.jpg, from Colloquium
File:Intercept_theorem_proof.jpg is taken from wikipedia, a file of same name there...hope this satisfies the doubts

 * Moved to commons and deleted locally... we should probably have a link to commonshelper on our upload form for WP images. You can use that tool for any image that's freely licensed on WP and move it to commons for use here (and everywhere else, for that matter!), then add Ncd to the Wikipedia file page to help the WP admins find it. --SB_Johnny talk 09:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Altera vista
I created a minimal user page for you from the user template. Hope you don't mind. I also noted your various comments about frustrations with the MediaWiki platform we're using at Wikiversity. I just wanted to encourage you to stay on the learning curve and ask questions. The Dynamic Containment resource is interesting. See my comment. Thanks! --CQ 18:02, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I do not know how to respond to you - I mean not to your questions, but how this will reach you. if it does please enlighten me how it works ( if it is not too much trouble- don't want to be a pain!) Dynamic Containment is mine and all mine Its good technology since it operates exclusively with forces instead of structures. in this case the DC field is generated simply by 2 nozzle sets that's it. In the first picture one nozzle set spits out water the other air both fluids interact in the DC zone where the shear forces are from order to 2 orders of magnitude higher than in the surroundings that's where and why everything happens there. in the flame case 2nd picture the flame or/and fuel never touches the wall ( the reason i stumbled upon this thingy. there are other Dynamic containment processes available and one is in use called Tokamak reactor which uses magnetic fields to contain high/ correction very very high temperature plasmas (gasses). Of course I am planning to include some wright- up on the page. thank you for your interest. If this does not reach you I will try some other way ( not sure yet?)

Universitas and Communitas
Hello again Altera vista. I appreciate your insightful participation at the Colloquium and notice that you are getting better at using MediaWiki (the web platform). I just wanted to offer some historical perspective about Wikiversity that is a bit more obtuse than salient: Though you may be less conversant with Wikipedia and other WmF cultures and processes, I see you fitting in rather well here. I was born in the '50s so am also a bit alienated from some of the cultural dimensions of an Internet influence by younger people. My hope is that Wikiversity will in time inherit cultures and influences from mainline academia and still have its youthful flair. See Communitas and Talk:Communitas for some archived ideas along these lines. Again, thanks for your insights! --CQ 16:01, 1 September 2009 (UTC) [ talk ]
 * 1) Wikiversity is a part of Wikimedia, thus subject to cultures and influences from Wikipedia, Wikibooks and other "sister projects"
 * 2) Wikiversity is the result of the lack of freedom to explore and experiment on those other projects due to their policies
 * 3) A "larger context" community space was formed long ago by the developers of the technology all the projects and languages use - meta
 * 4) The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting strategic planning discussions at yet another site - strategy

Talk:Facilitating Online/course mini conference

Questions
Please feel free to ask questions about the 'hows' and 'wherefores' of the mini conference - let's get some useful discussion going :) Sarah

It seems to me that any topic is fair game as it is the facilitation that ios being the challenge rather than the content. Of course much of our content is actually about the process- quite an introverted way of working really. BUT we talk a lot about being connected and a community. Oh my. Willie--Williec 17:42, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you, Willie - we'll also get more info from Leigh tonight about what he'd expecting. SarahStewart 03:38, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Debra R-W's Eureka moment
Potential session

I am thinking of inviting two or three speakers to my session. One is the only accredited Wimba trainer in NZ and the other two work with teaching staff to develop their static resources into interactive online resources. So my list would look like this:
 * How do you get teachers to engage with elearning?
 * What can Wimba do for you
 * Supporting teachers in the transition from chalk and talk to etivities

I am very lucky as I have access to the members of MITs Learning Technology Centre. Like Stephen, I intend to run it as a live presentation followed by Q & A.

Concerns:
 * People may not turn up, there is a poll onmy blog in an attempt to meet most people’s availability.
 * It will run and be a little flat – nothing to facilitate
 * I will overstep the boundaries of facilitation and in to the realms of teaching

Any comments, suggestions gratefully received.

I'm liking the ideas about supporting teachers to move from chalk to Internet but be mindful a couple of course partcipants are not teachers - so think how you'll cater for their needs. The other thing I would say is that we don't want to turn a session into a sales talk for a particular propriatory tool, however I don't see any harm in focusing on an open source or free tool. SarahStewart 20:24, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Stephen's ragbag of ideas
I’ve got too many ideas so I’d be interested in everyone’s feedback. Plus of course I don’t want to cover what others are doing. Subject to agreement of my guest speaker I’ll run it as a live presentation with Q&A.

Topics on my list include:
 * how to run a webinar, including benefits, practical steps, pitfalls - short presentation by ... main audience: not-for-profit organisations,
 * elements of success in the Bang the table discussion platform/ process focused on public policy - main audience: professionals and citizens interested in public participation
 * One of the co-authors of digital habitats: technology stewarding for communities. - audience - broad, electic audience, educators, facilitators, community managers

Also, I know one of the convenors of the Transition Towns social network website and the website site manager of CommunityCentral. I’m going to ask them if there is anything they think would be particular relevant to people involved in moderation/ organising roles. Subject to being a manageable topic I’ll try to find someone.

Sablyth 08:06, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Gosh, any of those ideas would be great, Stephen. I think it will be really refreshing to hear from people outside education. No idea what to suggest as the topic to choose, though :)  Sarah

SarahStewart 03:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I like the sound of digital habitats, as this is linked with whatever platfrom or style of electronic /digital you choose. How do we keep these connections functioning? What is the cost of highpowered opportunities such as Second Life?--Williec 07:02, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

And as Leigh always remionds us, you have to consider the 1/10% rule, so how do we facilitate true community engagement? SarahStewart 20:24, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. I've just secured agreement from my guest speaker to present a case study about taking a scientific planning process from the real world to an online environment. As well as the background, part of the story is about choosing tools and guiding community members to use them, and the other is about enticing people to be active. My involvement has been as a fairly distant mentor and technical resource person. I'll publish details when signed off (likely to be 23 November due to prior commitments of my guest speaker).

HAVING ANOTHER GO!!!

My meeting is resceduled for Friday 20th November at 1pm, in Eluminate. I am a tiger for punishment. I hope you can make it..--user:ktindall17:06, 11 November 2009

Topics I would like to look at are:
 * How to implement e learning tools into a course for students that have never experienced this type of learning. Advantages and disadvantages
 * How to use Skype in education and e learning. Advantages and disadvantages

I prefer the first topic as this is something I would like to do for a course I currently facilitate. It would be great to have others experiences about what has worked for them.

user:ktindall13:27,07 october 2009

If you're looking for a speaker, I can suggest David McQuillan - he's done quite a lot of work using open access tools for his teaching: DavidM@tekotago.ac.nz           Sarah

I can endorse David- very innovative and in an un likely subject- Massage!!!!!!--Williec 09:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your thoughts and the name of a speaker.--user:ktindall21:38, 26 October 2009

Looking forward to attending tomorrow the 10th @10.Cheers Meena 09 Nov 2009

Kylee- can you confirm the time for your presentation tommorrow 10 am or 1pm? thanks DebraMaddocks 00:38, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Who has more time can also look around at Wikiversity for

 * Education in virtual worlds
 * Skype

DebraM's Ideas
I am thinking about a topic involving a discussion on the use of Twitter for social networking and how it can be used in Education. I have a guest expert in eLearning in mind, at present, but I have not contacted them. My initial ideas would be to have an open space forum/wiki/ for people to comment on prior to the event, where comments and questions can be raised with the speaker, and ultimately included in the presentation. I am considering an online debate- on the pros and cons, which would need to involve another speaker....I need to work on these ideas obviously, but if anyone has any feedback or comments, I would love to hear them. thanks DebraMaddocks 02:47, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Sounds a fabulous idea. My main question is: why make it a debate...what do you want to achieve from it? How does a debate format fit with the question/answer format that you're planning to use with a wiki? Sarah

The debate idea came from the meeting with Leigh- but I think the q/a format with a wiki prior to the event is more productive. I have two guests in mind- both with good ideas on twitter but possibly slightly different aspects. I need to get organised more, thanks Sarah. RE: a debate- of course the result would depend on how the proposal was worded!!! DebraMaddocks 08:11, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I guess I was trying to say...don't make things too complicated. Knowing how difficult it can be to 'make' people participate, will having a wiki and a live session be too much? SarahStewart 20:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Update: I have 'secured' my presenter, Kevin Brennan, eLearning Advisor here at UCOL. I am working on the theme of Twitter- How can it work in education/ All you need to know By the end of the weekend (1 Nov) I hope to have written on my Blog the details of the event, how to connect, plus put a poll for dates/times. Kevin is available on either 16th, 19th or 20th of November. Thanks, Debra DebraMaddocks 19:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC) Don't forget to put details on the conference on the main 'mini-conference' page SarahStewart 21:03, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I am having trouble getting Access to Elluminate (again) at UCOL. I am really hoping that the technical people will come through by the end of the week. Will post details as needed.DebraMaddocks 06:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

What's your plan B going to be if Elluminate doesn't work? SarahStewart 23:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Rosanne's topic
I am planning to run my online conference on DimDim. My guest speaker is Anton Pienaar, an instructional designer from South Africa who I work with and who has run and facilitated classes online. He and I are both exploring how learning can occur in forums and I am thinking of something along these lines for the online conference. I think it will interest other participants in the course as we will look at forums and how you can use them to improve the learning experience for students. I haven't had a chance to discuss this properly with Anton so things may change.--125.239.106.104 00:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually we are now thinking of doing something around PLN. It seems more relevant to the course and also was a topic presented at the eFest conference. I would like to use Skype instead but I believe this limits the conferece to 5 people. Would these numbers be acceptable given that my guest speaker and myself take up 2 spaces? That means I could only have 3 people as attnedees. What do you think??--203.97.94.156 21:35, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Ummmm...you could run it on Skype using text only...why do you want to use Skype? Why not Elluminate? Sarah

After my experience with DimDim this week, I'd love to see how it works in a formal session - at least you can get 20 people as opposed to 3-5. SarahStewart 04:07, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

OK I have discussed this with Anton and we think we will try using DimDim as we originally planned. Are you OK with the PLN theme? What does the group think? I was quite impressed with Joyce Seitzinger's talk about it at eFest and what a PLN means to different people is really very interesting. It also fits in nicely with facilitating online. --203.97.94.156 02:43, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Sounds great...as I have said to others, just remember that not all partucpants of this course are educators, so try to make it as relevant as you can to appeal to all comers SarahStewart 20:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree- I too enjoyed the talk that Joyce gave at the eFest/T&L conference recently. She was gathering some feedback on what a PLN means to people, I have not looked for awhile but the links are there on the eFest site. thanks.DebraMaddocks 19:14, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good.The incentive prize is even more tempting.See you Rosanne. Meena 14.43, 11 Nov 09

Hilary's Topic
Due to the restrictions at my place of work - technologically, I think an Elluminate Conference would be a good starting point as the platform for a topic.

I was wondering what people's thoughts were around a topic of Google Reader versus PageFlakes or ... seeking out a brief YouTube video or slideshare before moving on to colleague experiences and discussions on the subject. If there are other examples of organising oneself online, I would be interested in these.

Plan B as ever would be a verbal introduction and using Skype as the platform.

I think an exploration of how you make sense of the chaos of information overload in an online community or course sounds a great idea - maybe with an end point of recommendations for next years students :) SarahStewart 04:10, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

This is a great topic- do allow plenty of time as there seems to be lots off opportunity for chaos of information overload(that's my feeling anyway)- how to keep up !!! DebraMaddocks 19:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Rachel's Ideas
This is where I will be posting some ideas with regards to the mini conference. I would like to try something in Second Life as I see that noone has chosen that. Apart from Sarah, I do not know of anyone that I can contact as yet, and I think that I will wait until my experience in SL tonight, if that is the way to go! Otherwise, I am thinking about looking at the use of wikis in educational settings and how students may be encouraged to collaborate. I have a someone in mind to contact, maybe interview them first of all and then have an open discussion in elluminate which would be facilitated. Please feel free to make any comments.--Rbyars 00:33, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering how you're feeling about SL now? Why don't you contact Carolyn McIntosh in the school of midwifery - she used SL for her assignment a couple of years ago - the meeting was fabulous and we had very, very basic skills in SL. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend you contact Clare Atkins who is the NZ SL guru: clare.atkins@nmit.ac.nz. There is also Jo Kay (http://jokaydia.com) - she is very busy but usually helps if she can. SarahStewart 04:18, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Adrienne's Idea
I plan to run an Elluminate session with Beverly Kay from Manaia View Kindergarten. Beverly has been using blogging to build online community and enhance children's learning. She is currently undertaking an action research project and will share her findings so far.

If you want to look at the blog it is http://manaiakindergarten.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html and http://ictece.blogspot.com/#

Please email me with questions for the discussion (to adrienne_moyle@yahoo.com).

Very interesting...look forward to it. SarahStewart 20:27, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Meena's ideas
Hi Everybody

I am planning a asynchronous event on BLOGGING Italic text

Blogging is something i never attempted before joing f.o.c course,was very apprehensive about sharing my thoughts,let alone be learning.

When i see some blogs of participants from our course, am totally dazzled.Amazing..

There will be a short presentation, where my guest speaker will be sharing his perspective on blogs. The 2 aspects that will be discussed will be:

 * blogging world overview
 * Social aspect on blogging

The plan is to do a Youtube video and embed the link in my blog.The forum will be opened from my blog.Was planng on doing it throught youtube itself, but then again you need to be signed up to be able to post comments.

Jason Lee, my guest speaker will be talking for roughly 10 minutes(hopefully it doesnt get extended)

Jason blogs in Chinese and has been a blogger for 6 years.

The discussion forum will open on 10th Nov 09 and last 2 weeks, so say 24 th nov 09.

Jason will be opening the forum and i will be facilitating once its opened.

So there will be no synchronous event as i have chosen this activity.

Hopefully we achieve our outcomes and share great learning experiences.

See you there...

P.S Thanks for your tips Sarah

Meena updated 09 Nov 09 1.33 p.m

Hi Meena, looking forward to this asynchronous event. Let us know as soon as it starts. I would keep the event open for a fortnight from the time you start. As you know I am away in 2 weeks but because your event is asynchronous, that will have no effect on your time line. cheers Sarah SarahStewart 22:21, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Sarah,there were some hiccups with guest speaker's recording,should be fixed by tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Meena updated 11 Nov 09 12/30 p.m

Unfortunately i had to replace my guest speaker as originally planned due to "not enough content" in the previous presentation.My current Guest speaker Jagadish Ghimire is a blogger and is very technical and curious in learning new technologies. He follows up on blogs re-latest trends in web technology.He developed special interest in online learning after undergoing a paper run by a professor from finaland, while doing his Master in Information technology in Thailand. Topic i have chosen is blogs as effective tool in imparting online education. Link to the youtube presentation is embedded in my blog, and would encourage all to participate with posting comments under my blog.The event will run from today 16th Nov to 30th Nov, and conclusion/reflection will be carried on the 1st Dec :-) Thanks Meena updated 16 Nov 10 p.m

I really enjoyed Jagadish's clip. I will comment on your blog. thanks Rosanne--203.97.94.156 21:20, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Krishan's Mini Conference Ideas
I am thinking of running the mini conference about Online Discussion Forums. I have used a lot of different online application as a student and as well as a staff. I have discovered that there is a very less usage of discusion boards /Forums.

I have used Blackboard discussion Board- and i think it is a very useful tool in elearning. I would like to see why people arent using the discussion Board - or discussion forums. I am not sure what should I call my conference - Discussion Board is specific to black board. but is simliar to any online forum or blog - where people are able to discuss ideas, projects etc and get feedback from others. Should I generalise it to any online discussion forum, or make it a specific application like Blackboard - Discussion bord and stick to it. Just trying not to make the topic too broad.

These are me ideas... Please feel free to give me soem comments.

Regards Krishan Mani

Hello Krishan, I don't think you should talk about BlackBoard because some people may not have access to it or know what it is. I think you should think in more general terms...about how to facilitate asynchronus discussion in communities...try to keep it as broad as possible because not all the course participants are in education. Don't forget that you are facilitating this...you are not providing content. With that in mind, who are you going to get as your speaker or how will you facilitate this topic if you organise an asynchronous event? 202.49.0.2 03:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

HI Sara,

I think thats a good idea of keeping the topic broad to allow many participants to participate. I am thinking of using a discusion forum like my blog for this course and get people to participate in this asynchronous event.

Thanks Krishan

That sounds fine, Krishan. You just need to think about what forum you use - preferably an open onw that we can all access easily :)  SarahStewart 00:05, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Online Discussion Forums

Interaction has always been a major issue while dealing with elearning. How can learners interact with peers and facilitators, share ideas and thoughts and get feedback from the rest of the participants. The best way is by having online discussion forums available for any online course, whether it needs a lot of discussion or not, it is always good to have peers interacting with each other regarding the course. For my Mini Conference I would like to discuss the following issues:

 * Importance of Online interaction
 * Online Discussions Forums
 * Asynchronous communication – text based
 * Pros and cons of Online Discussions Forums
 * Examples of online Discussion

There are different online applications that you can use for Online Discussions Forums, in this mini conference will discuss the benefits of using online discussion forums rather than analysing any specific discussion forum.

Date and Time: Friday 13th at (4pm or 7:30pm) or Monday 16th at 7:30pm There is a poll in my [blog] (http://facilitationonlinekrishan.blogspot.com/) – please vote to let me know what times are more suitable to everyone.

Venue:Elluminate

I have included this on my Blog, please feel free to go there and post some comments of what you think about the above topics.

Kind Regards Krishan --Kmani 00:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Krishan, how are you going to facilitate the meeting, in other words, are you having one speaker or more of a discussion panel? Don;t forget: you are the facilitator...not the speaker..it is not your job to provide the content?

If you have any queries about this, please feel free to get in touch. SarahStewart 00:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hervé's idea
At last we have lift off! I could not believe that it was so difficult for people to commit themselves for a small (timewise) event such as this! Did you have a similar experience? A guest speaker from Cisco systems will talk about the use of Webex for online conferencing or about moderating an online community. I should be able to talk to him today or tomorrow. My speaker is based in Hong Kong. The mini conference session will be likely to happen during one evening (NZ time)to cater for the time difference. I will advertise the session as soon as I have more detailed information. Yes, I have had similar experiences, Herve. What upsets me more is when people comment to doing a session then they let you down right at the last minute. They wouldn't do it for a F2F conference so why do they do it online!!?? urgh! Right....rant over...good luck with your planning. Look forward to seeing your arrangements when they are firmed up. SarahStewart 22:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Update: After a long conversation with Eric this afternoon, things are falling into place:

Title: Using the Webex on-line conference tool

Date and time: Monday 23rd November, 20:00

what will be covered: -Description of the usefulness and capabilities of the WEBEX conference tool. -Experience of using an online meeting tool

The presenter will be Eric Kwok, Technical Manager, AsiaPac, Cisco System. Eric is Based in Hong Kong and has been working for Cisco System for 8 years. He is Technical Manager for the Cisco Networking Academy Program. Eric is using Webex daily.

I will post further info as soon as possible

Just to remind you that Catherine has a session at 8pm. I know we've talked about an alternative time...3pm on that Monday certainly suits me.SarahStewart 03:40, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Catherine's Mini Conference Plans
I am a bit late in getting some information on this page, but, better late than never. My mini conference plans have now become firmer this week, since having a synchronous meeting in WiZiQ with my presenters Nellie Deutsch and Gladys Gahona, to discuss various details regarding my planned event. Although this meeting took a bit of time to organise due to the fact that there was three different time zones to negotiate, it certainly was easier to discuss various issues in this way, as opposed to asynchronously via email!

Details of my event are outlined on the course wiki mini conference page, and on my blog. I am really looking forward to hearing how both of these presenters combine WiZiQ, WikiEducator, Twitter, Ning and FaceBook to organise, share, promote/advertise and facilitate online instruction to - enhance online learning. Although I have a feeling I will possibly be too preoccupied to absorb any information from the session, and will have to view to the recording :)

Some questions that I would like to discuss either on this discussion page, and/or on my blog are:

How do you/which tools do you use to organise and facilitate online learning?

Which tools would you/do you use to share/promote/advertise online learning/workshops e.t.c?

Thanks

User:Roylei

harold notes (since I've pretty much made this tradition in my lessons). So...

- Firstly, hopefully you have read the lessons to date. You should be well versed in simple input/output as well as variables.

- Secondly, hopefully the lessons are teaching you some valuable skills in C++. Once again, it is awesome to see people adding on to the lessons.

As the name implies, conditional statements specify whether another statement or block of statements should be executed or not. These are often called "selection constructs". The two general types are "if...then" and the "switch...case" construct. Note that there is no looping involved here, but that conditionals are involved in loops.

Comparison Operators
The conditions tested are specified using comparison operators. These operators cause the immediate statement in which they are contained to return a boolean value of either true or false. (Note that in certain circumstances they may evaluate to 0 or 1; be careful combining conditional statements with arithmetic)

The following comparison operators are available:
 * Equality: ==, or Inequality: != of any primitive data type (int, char, float, bool, etc.) These are binary operators (take two operands) and are specified using infix notation (which means that the operator goes in between the two operands).
 * Greater-than: >, >= or Less-than: <, <= Also binary operators using infix notation. Use only with numeric data types; there are specific functions for comparing other data types.
 * Negation: ! is a unary operator, and prefixes the operand.

Examples: evaluates to true. evaluates to true. evaluates to false. evaluates to false. evaluates to true. evaluates to false. is invalid.

The if...then Conditional
There are two variations to the if...then conditional. Let us take a simple case and explain it line-by-line.

Explanation:
 * 1) This is the first line.  Note that there is space between the keyword if and the opening parenthesis.  Inside the parentheses is the condition; in this case it is a test for equality.  It is good practice to use the same type arguments (not comparing floating-point values to characters).  Note also the left curly brace {.  This symbol denotes a block of multiple lines of code.  Without it, the conditional would only refer to the statement immediately following it.  It is good practice to always use the braces.
 * 2) This comment represents the body of the conditional statement.
 * 3) The right curly brace is essential; it matches the opening brace on line 1 and signals the end of the if body.
 * 4) This line is optional.  If there is a sort of "default" behavior that should be carried out, it would be placed here.  The else clause does not belong by itself, only directly following an if clause.
 * 5) This is the body of the else clause.
 * 6) This curly brace is also essential; it matches the opening brace on line 4 and signals the end of the else body.

The body of the else block can be another if statement. This is known as "nested conditionals" because the conditionals are indeed nested; that is, placed inside of one another.

The switch...case Construct
This tests an input variable for equality with any number of cases and then executes the corresponding code. The syntax follows:

Bold text

Again, here is a line-by-line explanation:
 * Line 1: The opening line is very similar to the if construct, described above. The only difference is that the switch...case construct only uses int values and character constants or character literals.  For this reason, the switch-case can come in handy but it is limited to these circumstances.
 * Line 2: For each expected value, code a line such as this one. The 1 means that if a does contain an integer value equal to 1, execution will begin following the colon on this line.  Execution will continue blindly, so,
 * Line 4: contains a break statement that forces execution outside of the switch block.
 * Line 8: The default block is similar to the else block in a normal conditional. It is chosen if none of the previous cases matched the value of the condition variable.

Note, the break statement can be under-used to the programmer's advantage. If multiple values of the condition variable would lead to executing the same code, the cases can be listed one after another like this:

The Conditional Statement
There is one more conditional statement, and it is truly a contraction of the if...then construct, however, this one is quite compact and can fit on one line or even be embedded within a larger expression. This is the syntax:

The entire expression evaluates to the expression given in the codeIfTrue and codeIfFalse statements. If those are complete statements, then that code is executed. It is also possible to specify a single value for each of those, and assign this conditional statement to a variable, like this:

As you can see, this makes simple conditionals all the simpler, but can complicate readability. Use sparingly.

See if you can come up with a few usages of the conditional constructs you have just learned.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called DominicJ. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DominicJ~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
