=== Related activities === | |||
The proposed EMO initiative is focused primarily on Mozilla-related educational resources and activities of general interest. We anticipate that Seneca College will continue to maintain its own wiki for its own use, and that other institutions teaching Mozilla-related courses will have their own sites as well. EMO will link to those sites where appropriate, and vice versa. | |||
In general EMO will not host educational resources and activities related to non-Mozilla projects, and will not host general educational resources available on other sites. However again EMO will link to those sites where appropriate, and will encourage other sites to promote EMO as a central source for Mozilla-related educational resources. | |||
The following third-party sites are targeted for cross-linking and/or promotion of EMO as noted: | |||
* [http://www.oercommons.org/ OER Commons], a directory of open educational resources in a wide variety of disciplines and intended for a wide variety of grade levels. OER Commons does not host its own material but is instead a portal to resources hosted elsewhere. We could use OER Commons as a place to store descriptions of EMO offerings and make them easily findable by others using OER Commons as a way to discover new material. | |||
* [http://www.teachingopensource.org/wiki/ TeachingOpenSource.org], a nascent site aiming to collect a wide variety of resources relating to teaching FOSS development practices. We could use this site to promote Mozilla-related resources and also link to it as a resource for general FOSS education topics. | |||
* ''[any others?]'' | |||
Other sites of interest include: | |||
* [http://cnx.org/ Connexions], a repository of "[http://cnx.org/help/glossary#module modules]" (small "knowledge chunks", typically in HTML with optional embedded media) in a wide variety of disciplines and intended for a wide variety of grade levels. Content is licensed under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license] (''not'' the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ Creative Commons Attributions-Sharealike license] used by [http://developer.mozilla.org/ MDC] and other Mozilla sites). We could contribute short self-contained articles, tutorials, etc., to Connexions, assuming any licensing issues can be resolved. | |||
* [http://www.curriki.org portals Curriki]. | |||
* ''[any others?]'' | |||
