Wiki Creating wiki pages Creating wiki pages can be cnfusing if yu aren't familiar with wikis. A key principle is that pages n a wiki shuld be linked tgether in sme way. In rder t ensure this happens, yu have t create a link t the new page befre yu can create the new page itself. Wiki links When editing a page, links are created by typing the title f a page yu want t link t inside duble square brackets. If yu wish t link t a page titled Fish, yu wuld type [[Fish]]. New pages T create a new page: Hints 1. Think f a title fr yur page. The title shuld be different t the titles f ther pages n the wiki. It shuld describe the cntent f yur page. An example title might be Frgs and ther amphibians. 2. Decide which page shuld link t yur new page. If the wiki is small this might be the start page. Otherwise, find an apprpriate page. 3. Edit the page that will cntain the link. 4. Find the pint where yu wuld like the link t g, and type it in: [[Frgs and ther amphibians]]. 5. Save this change. The link yu have created shuld appear, ready fr use. 6. Click the link. Yu will be asked whether yu want t create a new page. 7. Click Yes. The edit windw appears fr yur new page. 8. Type in the initial text f yur page, then save it. Yur page is nw created. If yu're creating multiple pages, yu might want t make all the links in ne g. Yu can make links t new pages even when yu persnally dn't intend t create the new page. When yu d that, the 'missing' pages are indicated in the wiki index view. This culd be used t indicate that yu think the page shuld exist. Be careful abut titles - nce a page has been created, the title can't be changed. 15

Evaluatin f Learners 1. Flashcard Assessment: An assessment that prvides a scenari and asks the learner t select the best building blck example that applies. https://www.drpbx.cm/sh/5rluaj4yvxkrjtg/neibwtsdam (click links fr PDF versin f assessment) Welcme t the Mdle Building Blcks Assessment In this assessment yu will be presented with a brief descriptin. Frm this descriptin yu will be asked select the Mdle Building Blck that best fits the descriptin. In the fllwing slides, click n the answer yu think best fits the descriptin. If yu are right yu will see a green success bx appear. If yu are wrng yu will see a red failed bx appear, and yu will be allwed t select again. t Gd Luck! 1. Stre = Cut access time with direct ne-click link t any website 2. Cmmunicate = run class discussin/ debate, peer assess, interview, FAQ, rle play, Q&A sessins, ntice bard 3.
