Hi there everyone,
Clint Lalonde, my colleague at BCcampus whom most of you may know, has kindly agreed to lead us through a refresher training session on Mediawiki on January 25, at 1pm.I have just sent you all a meeting invite so that the date is booked on your calendars. Thank you Clint! :-)
In order to participate in the session, you will need a BCcampus account. If you worked on any of the content that already exists in the Mediawiki (https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Category:BCOER), chances are you already have an account. You may not remember your login credentials, but you can recover them from the login page. If you do not have a BCcampus account, then you should email helpdesk@bccampus.ca and request one ahead of the training session.
I have explained to Clint that he will have two audiences:
- A group of folks who have worked on the Mediawiki in the past, but have forgotten how to go about it because it has been a while since they added/updated any content
- A group of folks who are totally new to Mediawiki
We are going to keep this session fairly informal and Clint will try to respond to the differing needs of these two groups as much as possible. However, if you worked in Mediawiki before, and you have an idea of what topics may be helpful for Clint to cover in the session, could you send me those in a separate email? I will then compile them all and send to Clint to help him streamline the training.
On a last note, Clint would like to use Blue Jeans for the session. In the meeting invite, I included the joining instructions, and I am including them here as well, just in case you find it easier to have them on an email:
