00:07 - Wiki as a means to enhance dialog in the classroom
Shiri Mor Hagani
In this lecture we will demonstrate how the use of a MediaWiki
platform as an academic learning environment, that includes
weekly meetings in a classroom and online work between
meetings, can promote a dialogical discourse among learners
and between learners and teacher. As we are going to assert,
this discourse is of great significance to the learning community
as a whole, as well as to each of the learners on her own -- of
two aspects -- their involvement and actual learning in the
course itself, and the way they perceive the consequences and
impact it will have on their lives thereafter.

The presentation aims to summarize the experience of the
Bulgarian Wikipedian community in promoting contribution
to Wikipedia among university students. In particular, we will
share ideas related to setting up and finely tuning an academic
wikiproject with respect to scale and scope, rules, schedule and
workload, students' and teachers' motivation.

Salvör Kristjana Gissurardóttir
This tutorial will explain and demonstrate by examples how
teachers and instructional designers can develop online learning
materials and design online learning activities for students on a

definitions and background material and Wikimedia Commons
as a learning object repository.
