Ice Breaker
From Dar
Good morning/afternoon/evening
This morning I contemplated the early stages of the DARnet barn raising and identified some challenges.
The intended sections of potential participants are really folk who are concerned with Communities of Practice and Action Research folk. For some, there will be quite a high barrier to understanding how the wiki can function, both technically and socially. I think it's also compacting the obscurity a little by having the exhibition on the blog and the wiki barn raising at the same time, rather than synergising as I had hoped.
So I've begun to act upon that realisation, to try and remove a few complications and improve the possibility of participation. As well as some streamlining, I've taken up Giorgio's suggestion for a MacNiff style "Action Research Coffee Shop", which is now linked to from main navigation on the left, and added the 'Four dichotomies' digram as an artefact for consideration.
task
The ice breaker task is simply this:
- 1) Have another look at the Four Dichotomies presented on the wiki page here:
- 2) It helps if you create an account and log in berfore making your
comment. The link for that is at the very top and the right hand side, text which reads "Create an account or log in"
- 3) From the 4 dichotomies page, click on the "discussion" tab, just
above the page title, next to "article" "edit" and "history"
- 4) I see Linda has already made some comments, please add your score
and comments on the same page, by clicking "edit" or "+" Edit allows you to change anything on the page, "+" inserts your writing add the bottom.
if all else fails, use this link:- add comment
- 5) Preview, then save.
Any problems just shout.
