Hello Nellie,
I´m new to WE. I started with ICT literally "learning by doing", so I normally manage to make my way. If I had an editing query I probably wouldn´t ask here, would seem out of context. For obvious reasons, most active contributors are founders or got involved much earlier and are at a more advanced stage than any newcomer. Threads logically reflect that. I don´t feel intimidated (actually enjoy them) but I can understand why less adventurous spirits might. Would you post a "how to" query to an audience (visible=active contributors) discussing elaborate stages of collaboration and advanced projects involving several institutions? This doesn´t mean these queries are not welcome, though new people may be under such impression or feel they´re too petty in comparison to HIV/AIDS or midwifery (?). Hardly the right time for me to make any suggestion, really. I hope this helps, Alex De: wikieducator@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de NELLIE DEUTSCH Enviado el: jueves, 29 de mayo de 2008 17:06 Para: wikieducator@googlegroups.com Asunto: [WikiEducator] Re: Questions and collaboration Valerie said: Some of the forum threads are intimidating. Valerie, Can you please clarify your statement with examples? Thank you.

Going beyond the basics as a collaborative effort sounds great. There should be some nice spin-offs - mentoring, authoring, student participation, reviewing and contributing. Tutoring is an interesting issue. I am surprised / concerned that anyone feels reluctant to ask questions in a "safe learning environment" like WE discussions. We are all learners here. All questions that should be asked and answered in a public forum where everyone can benefit. If we don't get that message across to every participant, we have lots of work to do! Some of the forum threads are intimidating. It might be appropriate to have a Questions? forum devoted to questions of new participants.
