Dear Patricia,
Excellent work! Thank you very much for moving forward with the preparations for conducting the poll based on the nominations received. I am also in favour of conducting the poll in WikiEducator using the poll widget as Dr. Wayne and you have discussed. As per the tentative schedule announced earlier in the other discussion thread for nominations, we will run the current ‘Nomination Session’ till May 10, 2012’ and the rough consensus poll from May 14 to 20, 2012. I think it will give sufficient time for the idea to reach maximum number of community members and time for you to try poll widget. After the poll and selection of a name, we may create a WE work group to formulate the business procedure for this new community initiative. It will be nice to have all the contributors to this discussion thread and the main thread on nominations on board the WE work group as well. Go ahead and create the WE page for poll! – These are thrilling moments for our WE community! I will also be joining you and Dr.Wayne there. -- Warm regards Anil http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Anil_Prasad http://www.apletters.blogspot.com On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 4:02 AM, Wayne Mackintosh <mackintosh.wa...@gmail.com > wrote: > No worries Patricia, > > The poll widget is relatively new and we have trialed this with a few > polls - it should work rather well for this purpose. > > Let me know where you set up the page in the wiki to keep track of this > project and I will help set up the widget. > > Cheers > Wayne > > > > On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 10:29 AM, Patricia Schlicht <pschli...@col.org>wrote: > >> I agree with you, Wayne, just didn’t know we had such application. **** >> >> Cheers,**** >> >> Patricia**** >> >> ** ** >> >> *From:* wikieducator@googlegroups.com [mailto: >> wikieducator@googlegroups.com] *On Behalf Of *Wayne Mackintosh >> *Sent:* Wednesday, May 02, 2012 3:27 PM >> *To:* wikieducator@googlegroups.com >> *Cc:* wikieducator-teacher-collaboration-fo...@googlegroups.com; >> aplett...@gmail.com >> *Subject:* Re: [WikiEducator] Cast your vote in a poll: shall we >> establish a WikiEducator Community College?**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Hi Patricia,**** >> >> ** ** >> >> Great to see international community collaboration in moving this idea >> forward.**** >> >> ** ** >> >> I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to host the poll on >> WikiEducator.
