VMOUW WORKSPACE

Read These Guidelines
We provide here step by step guidelines to prepare your chapters/ lessons/ units in self-learning format useful for distance learners. In this Workshop, you will receive face-to-face training on developing self-learning materials, and you are expected to be able to put the learning materials developed by you online in the WikiEducator site.

In this Workshop, we expect you to develop "Wiki Skills" as well, but the primary objective is the capacity building of the participants on developing self-learning materials. So, we suggest you to read the online guide Write 2 Teach in 3 Days and also focus on the training sessions during the face-to-face workshop.

In order to help you quickly develop self-learning materials on the WikiEducator platform, we have developed some templates and an automatic page creator that you will use. You are only expected to have the typing skills on a computer and some basic word processing skills. No programming or wiki knowledge are required.
