JoseeAntonioRpleia2: hey, I've been playing with the moodle interface, not created a course yet, but may be super useful01:17
JoseeAntonioRthe big problem is that registration is not open01:18
pleia2JoseeAntonioR: opening it is easy once we have some courses01:44
pleia2don't want to open it yet though, spammers and junk accounts01:44
JoseeAntonioRok, so let me know once we should start working, I'll get the docs from help.u.c01:45
pleia2whenever :) and I figure we just link to help.u.c documents (instruct people to print or save them as needed)01:46
pleia2in this process I figure we'll be doing a lot of helpful updating to help.u.c/community too01:46
JoseeAntonioRyeah, sure01:46
JoseeAntonioRwe can also have a script to get the print (text-only) version of the doc01:47
JoseeAntonioRbut we'd need to figure out how images would work01:47
pleia2and if you feel overwhelmed by moodle, you're welcome to bypass it and just write classes that you release as .pdf or .odt or whatever, moodle is just an option01:47
pleia2moodle scares me :)01:47
JoseeAntonioR:P01:48
JoseeAntonioRok, so I'll write it in .odts and then we can export it to pdfs01:49
pleia2yeah, that's what doctormo did01:49
pleia2ok, going to grab a snack and bring my laptop up to the roof (stuffy in here)01:50
JoseeAntonioRok!01:50
pleia2much better :)01:59
JoseeAntonioRyay01:59
JoseeAntonioRit's cold over here01:59
JoseeAntonioRI still have the IRC and getting help docs I wrote in the plane in .txt files, I'll get them in .odts02:00
pleia2it's normal here (50s F)02:00
pleia2:)02:00
JoseeAntonioRabout font and size, I'll use the Ubuntu font, is size 12 ok?02:01
pleia2sure02:01
* pleia2 catches up on team reports she's been slacking on02:02
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: http://people.ubuntu.com/~joseeantonior/learning/IRC.pdf , can you please give it a quick look?03:06
pleia2JoseeAntonioR: I think what we want to do is link to the actual content on the wiki instead of rewriting it, and in our materials we write exercises for people to accomplish in class03:08
pleia2so like, first: go read this03:08
pleia2and "this" is a help.ubuntu.com page03:08
pleia2then: Now do these exercises03:08
pleia2we write the exercises03:08
JoseeAntonioRoh, gotcha03:09
pleia2so the exercises would be like "join #ubuntu-learning on freenode"03:09
pleia2and maybe we walk them through that specific task03:09
pleia2otherwise we really will end up rewriting everything :\03:10
JoseeAntonioRyeah, that was before uds03:10
pleia2oh, and we'll want full links to things on pdfs in case people print them out for students :)03:10
pleia2no clicky clicky on paper, I've tried03:10
JoseeAntonioRmaybe we can get a link shortener?03:11
JoseeAntonioRor use one that already exists03:11
pleia2nah, I think full links are the best03:11
JoseeAntonioRok, full links then03:11
pleia2link shorteners have a habit of going down or being unreliable03:12
JoseeAntonioRok, so we should have some IRC basics in h.u.c/community, I'll just link there and write the exercises later03:14
pleia2https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat03:15
pleia2so we can improve that, if it needs improving03:15
JoseeAntonioRsome docs over there are not updated, so we may need to update them too03:19
pleia2yep03:20
pleia2better to update those than write all our own03:20
JoseeAntonioRgreat, then03:27
