[vet-mm] wikis and mailing lists

Thu Oct 7 10:51:19 EST 2010

Thank you for your insightful comments Claire

As i was making my suggestions the thought occurred to me that it may make this list redundant
but i do not think so, it may only reduce the traffic

In my opinion, rather than having this list (which is very helpful) 
a Wiki style web page will have all resources in one place 
You can just click on a unit or topic that would display all relevant resources

As to what factors will trigger more contributions
number one is the time factor Hardly any of us have the time
I would hope that the ease of operation and the fact that all resources are in one place may be an incentive
but that is not guaranteed
As for Private property. 

I have shared my complete resources with people i work with and others who have approached me on my private emails
I am only too happy to share
But i also understand that others can be reluctant and that is also OK

I believe that it is a worthwhile course and any promotion and advancement of the course for teachers and interested students alike can only help the future of the industry

Yes thanks for this initiative, Stuart - any support for our subject is a
bonus.

Whilst it is being constructed, please feel free to share resources via the
mailing list.

We, VET IDM teachers, are not as active at sharing material and initiating
discussions as some of the other VCE lists.
I'm not sure whether this is because teachers fear their material is not
good enough or whether there are issues of intellectual property or ???
Naim, you mention a wiki is user friendly, what features of a wiki make
contributions more likely eg is it the ability to edit a Wiki page that will
help overcome the reluctance of teachers to contribute materials to a
mailing list? 
I certainly understand that the visual display and organisational structure
of a Wiki is more appealing than a mailing list but what factors trigger (or
will trigger) more input from more people?
Do you think there will be any need for mailing lists in the future?

Cheers
Claire Bloom
