Knowledge, Learning, Community
Scott Leslie explores MediaWiki as an authoring tool for open textbooks. Along the way he discovers:
- D2L exports aren't very good
- there's no simple way of getting from an IMS Content Package to a wiki (cynically, I would say they were designed that way)
- approaches that let you output to multiple formats depend on clean markup
- editing mediawiki seems just short of rocket science (at least for some people)
- the UBC wiki continues to astound
- you can write blog posts while sailing across the Salish Sea.
