Wikimodule

I have been asked to lead a WMUK project to set up a distance learning system. We shall be using Moodle as course management system (CMS).

My approach has to been to abstract from WMUK's situation. What I call "wikimodule" is a system depending on three inputs (or four, if you included choice of CMS). In WMUK's case these are:

  • The Training for Trainers system, leading to accredited trainers";
  • the broad purposes of the community summed up as "the Wikimedia movement";
  • the purposes defined by WMUK as a charity.

Details of wikimodule under a CMS

  • There is a concept of "good module". Any account holder can deem a module good. The stated objectives of a good module must include one that is concretely about the broad purposes of the system. The criterion for a good module is a box-ticking checklist.
  • There is a concept of "featured module". Modules become featured by consensus of the trainer status group. Review of featured modules is by threaded discussion. The objectives of a featured module must include one that is concretely about the specific purposes of the system.
