E-Learning: Wikis and Moodle WIKI A Wiki is like a normal website with two very important differences. 1.The pages are edited online, rather than by using Dreamweaver or FrontPage then uploading using FTP. 2.The pages can be edited by anyone with permission to do so. This make collaborative authorship simple.

E-Learning: Wikis and Moodle WIKI

WIKI Examples: We will explore the SWSI Wikispaces and learn a bit about how to browse, edit and create pages. (See Wikispaces Help in the LHS Menu at SWSI)

Gaining access to our Wikispaces: As a guest As soon as you go to the site you are automatically considered a guest. As a guest you have no editing rights. Notice that there is a graphic on the right saying By applying for a user account Fill out an application form that you can get from the SWSI SharePoint site. WIKI

WIKI As a registered user, you can edit pages that you have the rights to edit. You can also create pages and whole sites that you can decide will be either public or private public private public private

MOODLE Where is SWSI’s Moodle? How do I “own” a course?

Hi Jeff. In the Sandpit Category there a re a number of courses now built by staff playing and anyone is welcome to go into anyone without a key and looksee/play BUT in the Sandpit we setup three courses to demonstrate the three basic course structures available – Social Format, Topics Format and Weekly Format (each course so named) and also to demonstrate the impact of the Availability settings – ie Guest allowed/not allowed, existence of an enrolment key. Hope that helps Oh, if any haven’t self-registered they will be able to do so on the spot and use the portal or webmail to respond to the sent from the Moodle server to confirm address. Have a good weekend Laurie Quarmby
