Thread:Breaking down into subpages (6)

Hi Wayne and Irwin,

The idea behind these big module 1-8 pages was so I could begin to get a handle on the content. We needed a starting place, and just dumping it all to WE seemed like as good a plan as any. I was thinking we would use these pages for general cleanup and then convert them to a suitable sub-structure (as you suggest). In fact, I posted up a suggestion for the page structure for mod 1, at the beginning of that page.

But you bring up a good point about the history. I hadn't considered that we would lose the history for these when we converted to the subpages. hmmmm.

Would it be reasonable to refrain from any substantive edits on the module pages until we get the structure worked out and the content moved? Another option is for Irwin to decide the substructure, post to the planning page, and then one of us makes the pages for the content, which is then dumped in through the conversion process.

Some other things for consideration:

A style consideration which I began considering a few days ago was whether the subpages should be subbed under the main course page...or made into stand-alone units, as the OCL4Ed modules are. I'm leaning toward recommending the latter, as I think it makes them more useful....other courses can reuse more easily. But on the side of making them true sub pages, others can copy and *adapt*. Probably something for the style guide, once we decide.

Also, we should add to the style guide some guidance on naming. I was wondering if we should include the word Module in the title, eg., Module 2: The Artistic Process

Thoughts? Alison
