Dear all,
it was very interesting to see you brainstorm scoping ideas for your projects today. With regards to 3 technical questions that were asked today, please find my responses further detailed below:
1. What is the purpose and best use of your Project Homepage?
We envision it as a tool much like a noticeboard where you can communicate the progress of your project at a glance. It provides you with an outward facing digital window that’s quickly accessible via a url link. You can share the link on your social media or in other communication with interested parties. It is, however, not intended as the workshop or the space, where you will be doing the actual project work. Updating your homepage will often mean just adding the link to current working documents or changing the project status by moving it ahead in the progress.
2. How to give someone in your team admin rights on the project homepage?
The person who created the homepage can quickly give anybody admin rights by doing 2 steps:
a. assigning team members a role
b. by hovering over the icon show in the screenshot below and enabling itand enabling it
You can also find more detailed instructions on the editing of your homepage here: Editing Your Project Homepage
3. How to best organise your pictures? @byousefi was asking the question and I hope to have understood correctly that you were asking about recommendations for the organisation of images that you want to use in your OER. Bardia was also mentioning url links by means of which to embed pictures into your own work. While this might be a good option in the cases that you have good control over the digital places where the images are hosted or where the owners request such use, the direct upload of images is recommended for the cases in which you want more immediate control over image content. Please find below the link to an image tracking template showing how your team can communicate the use of all project-relevant images. It is best paired with a transparent filing system, where you store the downloaded image files: Image Tracking Spreadsheet Template - Google Sheets
Please feel free to add any questions that might not have been answered in session today or that come up as you are embarking into the scoping process for your projects! Anybody knowing answers or able to share relevant personal experiences is welcome to join into the conversation!
