We expect the outcomes of this project to be immediately applicable to other wikimedia sites (including wikibooks). | ||
'''Overarching outcomes.''' | |||
Through our proposal the wiki movement would gain ground in formal Higher Education, particularly in the area of teacher education, and for the use of mediawiki to produce professional open wikibooks. We feel very strongly about the benefits of collaborative teacher resource development, and this projects helps us to take this message out to other departments in the UK. The outcomes will have an impact in a variety of educational contents, both in the UK, and internationally. | |||
'''Concrete outcomes.''' The overall specific outcomes of this project are: | |||
# Greater engagement of University of Cambridge staff and students with mediawiki, particularly within teacher education. This is measured through additional (University or Faculty) projects adopting our existing mediawiki site to host their resources (such as a teacher development programme for [http://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi]. | |||
# Greater engagement of UK and international Higher Education staff and students with mediawiki, measured through increased use of discussion on facebook and twitter. | |||
In accordance with the goals, the specific technical deliverables are as follows: | |||
* '''Section numbers.''' A mediawiki extension that allows section numbers to be prefixed with strings, together with documentations. Implementation of this extension on our wiki. | |||
* '''Project specific page banners.''' A mediawiki extension that the adding of project specific banners to wiki pages, in order to be able to mark a set of pages as belonging to the same project or set of pages. | |||
* '''Wiki navigation between pages.''' If feasible, and extension that allows better navigation between individual pages in a collection. Otherwise a briefing document on our implementation (together with mediawiki Templates) allowing our approach to be replicated more easily. | |||
* '''Better searching.''' A briefing document on the more advanced search options within mediawiki, aimed at the Higher Education sector. An implementation of these search options on our wiki. | |||
* '''Assessment of pdf generation.''' A briefing document on mediawiki to pdf workflow options, aimed at the Higher Education sector. | |||
* '''Collaborative options.''' A briefing document on real-time collaboration on mediawiki, aimed at the Higher Education sector. | |||
