Course Wiki
The Course Wiki is for quickly sharing information that is relevant to the whole group.
For Week One, all you have to do is:
Access the Course Wiki and ensure you have editing rights:
- Add glossary items to the cohort resources,
- Add blog posts of noteworthy stories or resources,
- Add criteria items to the LMS criteria page,
- Add LMS resources to the LMS resources page, and
- List LMS/Non-LMS systems and provide reviews.
For now all you need to do is make sure you can access the site and have editing rights. Have a look around.
Social Bookmarking with Diigo
The Diigo is for quickly sharing information that is relevant to the whole group.
If you do not yet have a Diigo Account, you will want one. Click here to create one. You will be using this Diigo Group to share and annotate resources and relevant (and noteworthy) sites. You will also want to get started by joining some other groups. Some possible places to start:
You already have a Delicious Group you are using for the program. We will continue to use this; however, the robustness of Diigo for education and the new abilities in the education version make it a desirable social book-marking tool for experimentation. If you are concerned about needing to use two services, then you will be pleased to note that they are synchronize-able by following the instructions on this site: https://secure.diigo.com/tools/save_to_others
Once you have your Diigo account set up you can use the link to synchronize the two services.
