| doctormo | hey | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Buuntu | what are meetings about? | 00:30 |
| Buuntu | does someone teach? | 00:30 |
| doctormo | Buuntu: No, that would be a class, a meeting is for organisational administration. Since this group is new, there is much to do internally to make it a stable basis for education. | 00:56 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Are we getting to the time? | 00:56 |
| pleia2 | yep | 00:57 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt, Vantrax, meeing in 2 minutes :) | 00:58 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: #ubuntu-meeting | 01:00 |
| === bodhi_zazen is now known as bodhizazen | ||
| bodhizazen | guess I missed the meeting, sorry | 01:21 |
| bodhizazen | internet problems | 01:21 |
| doctormo | bodhizazen: It's still going on | 01:21 |
| cprofitt | it started at 8pm | 01:23 |
| pleia2 | bodhizazen: backlog: http://princessleia.com/temp/learning.txt | 01:24 |
| bodhizazen | thanks for the linky pleia2 | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | np | 01:57 |
| Raidsong | sometime soon im going to order 100 ubuntu discs and give them out at best buy | 01:57 |
| bodhizazen | do you want me to invite the BT members here to discuss learning ? | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | bodhizazen: sure :) | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | and we now have green-light to add people to https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-learning | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | so long as they 1) introduce themselves 2) signed CoC | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | we should toss together a page saying this, or a note on the front page of wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | but right now it's 9PM here and I haven't had dinner | 01:59 |
| * pleia2 goes hunting | 01:59 | |
| bodhizazen | welcome | 02:01 |
| bodhizazen | we just finished a meeting of the UCLP and we feel we have the basic structure in place now | 02:02 |
| bodhizazen | so we are looking to recruit and also for ideas suggestions | 02:02 |
| bodhizazen | It is 7 PM and I am exhausted from skiing | 02:08 |
| cprofitt | sorry everyone... grandmother called and it was important | 02:12 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: no problem :) | 02:19 |
| duanedesign | bodhizazen: what tasks are you recruiting for? | 02:28 |
| bodhizazen | all of them =) | 02:37 |
| bodhizazen | lol | 02:37 |
| duanedesign | :) | 02:39 |
| bodhizazen | basically we are ready to start adding content | 02:44 |
| bodhizazen | so we need authors and teachers | 02:44 |
| duanedesign | what skills will be required | 02:46 |
| duanedesign | much of a learning curve to input information into Moodle | 02:47 |
| bodhizazen | we are all on the same page with moodle duanedesign | 03:26 |
| bodhizazen | perhaps we need a moodle session on how to moodle =) | 03:26 |
| doctormo | pleia2: ok back | 03:29 |
| doctormo | pleia2: sorry about that, conflicting things came up and I tried to shuffle things. | 03:29 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: no problem, I'm a bit tied up at the moment though (getting a crash course in networking over VC, hurrah!) | 03:30 |
| doctormo | bodhizazen: that's not a perhaps, that's going to be a requirement | 03:30 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Heh, did you read the networking section of my course? :-D | 03:30 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: Hey there, I've already begun to make courses. | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: yeah, but it was all review for me, getting into higher level stuff now and I've had a hard time with some of the concepts | 03:31 |
| pleia2 | luckily my boyfriend is a network engineer at google :) | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | and happy to teach! | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | so I get to pick the brain of the best | 03:33 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 03:33 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: i was mainly wondering if contributing to the Moodle project was going to be like contributing o Ubuntu Docs where you had to learn DoBook | 03:36 |
| duanedesign | s/DoBook/DocBook | 03:37 |
| pleia2 | duanedesign: well, we need brains writing courses, if it comes down to it I think we can get moodle experts loading up the stuff in moodle | 03:37 |
| pleia2 | right now we're looking for content, lesson plans | 03:38 |
| duanedesign | ahh, ok | 03:38 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Can your boyfriend donate some time to the project writing some of this up? | 03:40 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: My current work is all PDFs on my blog. | 03:41 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: unfortunately not, too busy :( but I'll transfer what *I* learn to courses as applicable, hehe | 03:45 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: do you have a link to your blog? | 03:47 |
| doctormo | duanedesign: sure, http://doctormo.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/ | 03:49 |
| duanedesign | doctormo: thank you :) | 03:49 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Shame, currently I'm not trained or exercised in the art of networking or systems administration beyond a jounor level, so I'm writing this course based on the idea that I know I'll get it worng :-P | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: I might be able to convince him to review some of it | 03:51 |
| * pleia2 schemes | 03:51 | |
| cprofitt | night all | 03:54 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Scheme away, peer review is just as important and we want the quality of the courses to be high, as well as the clarity and ease of use. | 03:55 |
| Raidsong | if you need somebody with powers of Noob i can be a guinea pig for any things you need read | 03:57 |
| pleia2 | Raidsong: good to know! that will be helpful too :) | 03:58 |
| doctormo | Raidsong: sure, read up on the first 4 chapters linked at the bottom of this page: http://doctormo.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/ and see if you can understand them. | 03:58 |
| Raidsong | ok im going to read them now | 03:59 |
| Raidsong | i like the annoyed penguin at the top | 04:00 |
| doctormo | Raidsong: That's my blog :-D | 04:00 |
| Raidsong | i take you are a teacher | 04:02 |
| pleia2 | that's an interesting question, doctormo - did you go to college/university? | 04:02 |
| doctormo | pleia2: No, I went to technical college when I was 12, night courses. Failed UK secondary education with only 1 GCSE Maths C grade at 16 and then went on to get a job as a programmer. | 04:04 |
| doctormo | Been a programmer ever since. | 04:04 |
| doctormo | It's rather a lucky career of learning on the job :-D | 04:05 |
| pleia2 | doctormo: fascinating that you and I are working on these course (I don't have a degree either) | 04:05 |
| pleia2 | courses | 04:05 |
| doctormo | It's ironic that I'm teaching it too | 04:05 |
| Raidsong | i wish i could afford any kind of college, yay for self taught people | 04:07 |
| doctormo | Raidsong: My technical college was free to people who's parents both didn't work. Yay for poverty. | 04:07 |
| Raidsong | lucky you | 04:08 |
| doctormo | Raidsong: It's the UK | 04:08 |
| Raidsong | here a 4 year college costs more then a house | 04:09 |
| Raidsong | for the cost of college i could quite literally buy a house that has 6 bedrooms 3 baths | 04:09 |
| Raidsong | and a two car garage | 04:09 |
| pleia2 | Raidsong: hah, pretty much :) that's how my ex-husband and I were homeowners by the time I was 22, neither of us were to college, both of us work in IT | 04:10 |
| pleia2 | so instead of paying back loans, we had a home | 04:10 |
| Raidsong | and if you buy in just the right neighborhood you also have a community pool and tennis court in the subdivision | 04:10 |
| Raidsong | after some help from a friend over seas its cheaper to hire a private tutor and learn german then move over seas and go to college | 04:12 |
| Raidsong | the courses don't seem incomprehensible, but not easy | 04:19 |
| === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-learning to: Ubuntu Community Learning Project | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning | Next Meeting: Monday August 17th @ 8pm EDT (00:00 UTC August 18th) | Support in #ubuntu | ||
| doctormo | pleia2: The link on the wiki leads to a website that is completly blank, I thought we had a moodle site half skinned. | 17:47 |
| doctormo | with some basic content | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | it's not completely blank for me | 17:48 |
| pleia2 | it has 3 courses | 17:49 |
| doctormo | hmm, last time I looked it had my header branding, now there is nothing | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | are you thinking of the test version? | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | http://learn.bodhizazen.net/moodle/ | 17:49 |
| doctormo | I guess | 17:50 |
| doctormo | I just didn't think our front facing site was so bad (branding wise) | 17:50 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it's pretty basic | 17:51 |
