I have another thought, how about WikiEducator People's Academy, if this
is what the consensus will be? It could be replaced with Institute or
College as well.

 

Just brainstorming.

establish a WikiEducator Community College?

 

Dear friends,

 

Response of the WE community in this matter is superb!  Let me
consolidate the nominations received so far to help those who are
planning to add their nominations:

 

1.      Open World College 
2.      WikiEducator Open College 
3.      WikiEducator Academy  
4.      Open Education Academy 
5.       International Academy in Open Education 
6.      Open Academy 4 WikiEducators (OA4WE)
7.      Open College 4 WikiEducators (OC4WE) 

 

And Joyce proposed to use 'Institute' instead of Academy and College. Hi
Joyce, would you please add the complete phrase...

 

Further thoughts???

Am enjoying these mails. hats off to super Anil for his very thoughtful
discussion initiators - my opinion:

 

College - the connotation is a 'degree' which we are not providing!!

Academy - may be better because of the above reason, but maybe we should
spend some more time looking for alternates!!

Great idea Anil

I think a name that clarifies the intent, ie "a college or academy that
exists to further educators skills using wikieducator" is a good idea,
although this is too verbose.

Dear Dr. Wayne and all other friends,

 

It is very encouraging to note that we are unanimous in respect of the
need and definitely we have to finalize a name that shall not make any
confusion. The name Community College has already confused Harbans ji
with the US Community College system  and  Joyce has cautioned with
humor that the name is bound to confuse :) Therefore let us finalize a
name through a rough consensus poll as Dr. Wayne has suggested.

 

Now we may give 10 days, ie upto May 10, 2012, for our WE friends to
suggest names as reply to this mail. Thereafter we will run a rough
consensus poll for another 7 days (ie from May 14 to 20, 2012) to select
a name from the nominations.

 

We have two nominations already:

 

*       Open World College - from Patricia and
*       WikiEducator Academy - from Dr. Wayne

Hi friends, now please add your nominations as reply to this mail. 

 

Dr Wayne, in his reply, has given an additional reason for us to be more
enthusiastic in this initiative "I think there are also exciting
opportunities to explore formal accreditation options for these training
opportunities through the OERu network in conjunction with open badges
for selected initiatives."

 

Hurry up!!!

Hi Anil,

 

I think its an excellent idea to establish some form of "WikiEducator
Academy" who take leadership in promoting regular training
opportunities. This is a testament to our core community values of
sharing knowledge for the benefit of all educators. 

 

The concept of "WikiEducator Community College" could be confused with
Community Colleges in the US -- so I guess it would be worth exploring
alternatives. Post a request to the community asking for nominations and
you could run a rough consensus poll for choosing the name for this
initiative. I also think that when building a new volunteer community
focus like this, that formalizing the initiative too soon with Academic
Council elections etc may stall growth during the formative stages. That
said, this is something which a work group can consider as the project
unfolds. 

 

I think there are also exciting opportunities to explore formal
accreditation options for these training opportunities through the OERu
network in conjunction with open badges for selected initiatives.  

 

Great idea!

 

Wayne

Dear Friends,

 

First of all I would congratulate Harbans ji, Sebastian ji, Balqis, and
Jonas for getting WikiBuddy certifications though their proactive
participation in the WikiBuddy certification guidance week held from
23-04-2012 to 29-04-2012
(http://wikieducator.org/Training:WikiBuddy_certification_guidance_week_
23.09.2012 ). They were the only participants (excluding a new user as
the event was for Wiki Apprentices). I also thank other three colleagues
who encouraged the event by offering facilitation support immediately on
announcing the event and Dr. Wayne for his moral support.

 

Based on the thoughts and wiki conversations during the past week, I
would like to ask the community  'Shall we establish a WikiEducator
Community College for our WikiEducator members and  those who aspire to
join the WE community?'. The abstract ideas are given below:

 

1.      The Objectives of the Community College Would be to:

        1.      conduct L4C as a regular course
        2.      conduct regular courses on Open Licensing
        3.      provide regular mentoring and certification services for
wiki skills development
        4.      provide opportunity to the community members to request
mentoring of experienced community memebrs
        5.      provide facility for conducting pedagogical experiments/
run pilot courses for OERu implementation
        6.      and more.....

2.      The WE Community members having wiki skill certification of and
above the level of WikiBuddy can by option register as a Community
College Tutor/Mentor
3.      The registered tutors/mentors wold elect an Academic Council for
a 2 or three year term
4.      The Academic Council will Coordinate the functions of the
Community College
5.      The Academic Council will prepare Academic Calender for each
academic year in consultation with the registered tutors/mentors, WE
community and WE Community Council
6.      The Academic Council will introduce new WE Community Courses in
consultation with  the registered tutors/mentors, WE community and WE
Community Council
7.      ...and more..

Your thoughts?
