Instructions:
Information on this start page will support registered OTAWiki users to create their first, contributed MediaWiki page.
Educators don't need to be "techies" to create Wiki entries or develop wiki projects for completion by their students. Anyone with a user identity on this site can edit most pages on OTAWiki.
Some pages containing basic information about using this wiki are protected and may only be edited by sysops. (Like this page.)
Creating a new page is a classical "ill structured problem." There isn't only one right answer. There are many ways to create new Wiki pages. The easiest way may be to follow the step-by-step directions below or look for more ways to create new MediaWiki pages in the MediaWiki documentation: MediaWiki Guide.
Directly below are some "step by step" instructions for creating an "Educational Internet Resource" entry on OTAWiki. This task is a project-based assignment (Project 2) in EDN 560
Creating a New OTAWiki Educational Internet Resource Entry
(1) Copy the "template" categories (given below these instructions).
(2) Decide on a name for your new MediaWiki page and type the name into the "Find" box, on the upper left corner of this page.
(3) Click "Go" to discover if someone else has already used your page name. If no one has already used it, you'll get an option to "create a new page."
(4) Paste the copied "template" into the editor window for your new record.
(5) Fill in the information about your new Educational Internet Resource, try it out by clicking the "Show Preview" button (below), and when it looks right remember to click "Save page".
(6) Congratulations! You've added your new Educational Internet Resource to OTAWiki.
