TAO/Meetings/2011-11-03

Online Meeting in AdobeConnect from 1000 to 1200 (UTC+1).

Participants: Stijn Bannier, Beat Estermann, Simon Lüke, Markus Marquard, Andreas Roellinghoff

Wikiversity site / project: overview, further development

TAO project page: clarification on the 3 main sections representing different approaches.

• Handbook
  • Creation of content for the handbook; "formalized", "distilled".
• Learning and Research Activities
  • Information belonging to all kinds of activities can be gathered here; from Wikiversity-centered actions to simple documentation of results that emerged somewhere else within TAO in general.
  • can lead to contents for the handbook.
• Community of Practice
  • people propagating the project, people interested in learning more about TAO issues, people ready to share their experiences in TAO relevant fields.

Working process

TAO/Activities + Production of TAO/Handbook: both sections may have different participants / stakeholders concentrating on just one or both aspects.

Beat suggests w:Design Thinking as method to approach the activities in Wikiversity. See TAO/Organizational issues.

Project plan

To be found in TAO/Project plan which shall be listing (table):

• activities/topics/modules
• short explanations
• target groups
• language in which the activity is done
• time window
• contact persons (e.g. for questions on the topic, ideas for restructuring, ...)

As agreed in the last meeting it should be

• problem oriented,
• on a persona approach.

Ideas for Learning and research activities (modules)

First step (until meeting in Bern): ramp up pages for the following modules and formulate precise questions.

Do not forget:

• Evaluation process of the community activities (Design Thinking).
• Use this upcomping phase to "identify and get to know the target groups" (involvement, interviews).

• Silberwissen / silver knowledge (Markus)
  • starting point: evaluation report (for the advisory board), which is very theoretical.
  • tasks for this activity: bring in examples, make it more colourful and vivid.
  • next steps: invite the wikimedia referents and also maybe some seniors.
  • Wikimedia DE: main focus is now on multiplicating in Germany.
• Introduction into TAO/Wikiversity CoP (Simon, Beat, Patrick Kenel?)
  • With help of the Wikipedia partners and Wikimedians
  • Guided tour / Overview
  • learning by doing
  • role model learning
  • reflect on first steps on Wikiversity; gather experiences
  • create meaningful content.
• How to create learning and research modules (Andreas Ninck, Andreas R.)
  • technical stuff in Wikiversity + how to add content and new activities (modules) to Wikiversity
  • Process (cf. Design Thinking)
  • analogue to Andreas Ninck's work
• Workshop "Do's and Don'ts regarding Volunteers" (Stijn, Kai)
  • + target groups
  • "Do you think, they want to put the results in Wikiversity?"
  • 1. step: push
    • create a resource / white paper: just have some guidelines or rules documented.
  • 2. step: pull
    • How to make it interactive?
    • How to associate further stakeholders?

Ideas for later on:

• Target groups / language challenges
• Introduction to the handbook
  • According to design thinking principle the current draft is enough right now.
• Jon: "Preliminary study 60+ on online communities" (action research team)
  • This could give an outlook on the final product.
• FFI - Freie Fahrt ins Internet
  • This needs more concretion.

Challenges:

• regarding language
• technical

Miscellaneous

• Further guide lines, approach to participate: TAO/Participating
• Media files (formats, ...): TAO/Media files and licenses
• TAO-Logo: Licensing? cc-by-sa?
  • wait for answer from (Beat)
• first images for the project (Simon)
  • Where to put? Commons? Specific project? -> Ask Wikimedians.
• Licenses
  • Multiple options within Wikimedia. Suggestion: one actual recommendation (per media type). We should push what is recommended in WikimediaCommons, i.e. GFDL along with cc-by-sa-all. See Commons:Choosing_a_license

Next steps, dates, what to remember

Discussion at the meeting in Bern:

• "Meta process" (Beat, Andreas N., Andreas R.)
• Eventually: Show the Wikiversity project
• Open questions:
  • How quickly do/can we involve participants?
  • SeniorKS / Grundtvig?

Mailinglist for the community who is / will be pushing the Wikiversity part of the project and / or the community of practice:

• community@thirdageonline.eu (public mailinglist) (Beat)

Unresolved items from the notes of the last meeting on TAO/Meetings/2011-10-20:

• Facebook (Page vs. Group)

Next meeting: online will take place after Bern
