Hi All,
The University of Mauritius in Collaboration with the AUF will be having a whole weeks' workshop to mark Open Access week.

Held from the 22nd to the 26th October, the objective of the OER- eXe-GIMP workshop is to have participants walk away with a completed Professional CDRom (Top-covered and with casing)
which includes a complete self-learning content that can be played on auto-run by any interested learner.

Participants will be provided with the tools and skills to allow them to:
1. Search for Open Educational Resources that pertain to their course/interest.
2. Adapt these material to their relevant needs and create learning content using eXe software
3. Attach an appropriate licence for their content
4. Create and manipulate images for their educational content.
5. Learn about image processing using GIMP
5. Create a Cd-Cover and Envelope for your packaged and ready-to-run CD

This workshop has been co-sponsored by the AUF and the University of Mauritius. As at now we have reached the targetted 20 Participants from UoM and AUF.

I'll be including the programme and details on the Open Access Week website at http://openaccessweek.org/
Is there somewhere else we're celebrating Open Access week too?
 
Best regards to all
Sandhya

Dear all,

Apologies for cross-posting; I believe this timely announcement will be of interest to both lists.

I am pleased to announce that Communicate OER will hold its first Wikipedia trainings at the Open Education conference in Vancouver next week. We enthusiastically invite remote participation, primarily through our project coordination page on Wikipedia.

Communicate OER is a year-long effort to support people in the OER world in working together to improve relevant Wikipedia content. It is funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and sponsored by the University of Mississippi. We are also proud to have the endorsement of the OER Foundation and Creative Commons.

One of the long-run aims of this project is to establish some continuity between the kind of discussion that takes place on these lists, and elsewhere in this community, with the information available to the world at large about OER and openness in education. As with so many topics, Wikipedia is often the first place people go to scaffold their understanding of OER and related topics; but the content there is largely disorganized, out of date, or simply lacking. This project is not an effort to advocate for OER (which would be against Wikipedia policy), but to help provide accurate, up-to-date, well-cited information via Wikipedia (and, where relevant, other peer-produced web sites).

We hope you will join us on Wikipedia -- especially during next week's launch, when we expect to have a flurry of activity! Please sign up on our "Team" page:

And then click the "Do" tab to get started!

-Pete
