Thanks for the links etc (Newbie tutorial #6 was the tutorial with images and media)
I've been working with a group of very experienced teachers who all have used wikispaces extensively (one even featured as an author of how-to wikis that people should visit) and who are struggling to do things in WE that they can do in WS. For example: Wikispaces has a widget editor that allows us to embed anything (i haven't come across any exceptions yet) into the wiki - video, slideshows, web pages etc http://room10rbs.wikispaces.com/T309Topic - this page has embedded content from google docs & eXe (self-hosted) http://room10rbs.wikispaces.com/Cheat_codes - this page has embedded content including an etherpad, a game and instructions http://room10rbs.wikispaces.com/Fun_Videos - this one has a youtube video When we use wikis for everyday class use or for reflective use ( http://dragonsinger.wikispaces.com/nzei) we're used to being able to embed like this. When we were figuring out how to do all of this it was comparatively easy (google) to find out how. Some of us have written help files/wikis to help others as well. WE is much more complex in one way (different syntax to WS) but also the ability to embed on the fly is not there (or at least we can't find it) Between us we've figured out kaltura, (at about 11pm last night) and the audio (playmp3). But how would someone else find out how to do this? (the newbie tutorial refers to intermediate tutorials but i can't find those yet - have they been written?) I'd also like to be able to embed a slideshow for instance (might be important as part of an online CV to show evidence of things such as workshops).
