[FM Discuss] Book Sprint Badges

[Martin Kean]

What a line-up!
What a heart you have, Mick. I will be working on (I would like to say all over, but...) Wordpress, and I will write some exercises (can I?) with badges in mind.
Cheers, Martin.

talked to Philipp Schmidt from P2PU briefly today about this. So, the plan is - Mick Fuzz is coming to Berlin in a few weeks and he and I will work for 3-4 days on this and create a strategy based for workbooks and badges on the discussion on the list. We will look at building a prototype and then think about how it could all be done.

If we wish to work with P2PU then the P2PU bunch are in Berlin 2 weeks after Mick is here so I can bring up any ideas we conjured up directly with them.

its mick leading the charge, me playing support and the rest of us telling him what to do ;) so make sure you get heard!

That would be great.
If I'm honest, I'm doing this mainly to serve my own aims and hoping that they overlap with those of other educators in FM. It would be good to get more input and feedback.

I've sketched out some ideas to make this easier to comment on.
All thoughts are welcome.
This builds on the ideas we traded on doing a manual on social media using Free Software. I've tweaked it to include some CJ stuff too.

In terms of timescale I reckon we could do this by October/ November.

Course in Citizen Journalism

Goals would be to;


 *   look at different tools used to do Citizen Journalism

 *   collate course materials and step by step activities

 *   bring together many of the documents and networks into one coherent project

 *   add a political/social perspective to the work

 *   include the  contestational model of citizenship & grass roots campaigning as well as more mainstream ideas of citizenship

 *   start with blogging and audio as a focus to help make the scope of the project more managable

FM manuals - flossmanuals.net<http://flossmanuals.net>

The following FM manuals are crucial to this work and need to be checked. (Audacity needs updating)


 *   Wordpress (blogging and websites)

 *   Audacity & Exercises (creating radio reports)

 *   Edit of Basic Internet Security manuals (communicating and organising)

New Manuals for Use

These may need to be migrated from other repos (including tactical tech) so that they can be remixed with other resources.


 *   Status.net

 *   Pidgin and OTR

 *   IRC

Course includes writing and discussion spaces for interesting topics


 *   What is Citizen Journalism?

 *   Problems with CJ term ; explore the ideas of contested citizenship

 *   New technology its impact - the camcorder, internet & open publishing


*** Planning Actions to be taken

Decide best location and format for exercises

Exercises and tests should;


 *   be able to link with Open Badges interface

 *   be linked with FM manual materials or relevant software community resources

 *   not interfere with core FM aims of providing manuals

The location of the exercises could be


 *    end of section FM chapters

 *    different FM manual of 'activities'

 *    separate tab in FM

 *    inside different learning system eg p2pu

Publicise existing manuals and new course materials and build community to update them and keep them updated


 *   FM community

 *   Audio producers & citizen journalists in UK - Indymedia, HL, TTFA

 *   P2PU and the community there

 *   PVM and Community Media Association

 *   Tactical Tech

 *   Hackspaces, access space and international partners

Write and trial course as part of FM or with p2pu or similar partner


 *   Trial the use of Open Badges within FM

 *   Decide best vehicle for delivering course

 *   Edit existing resources

 *   Write exercises

 *   Create relevant links (technical and social)

 *   Decide scope of pilot, plan and deliver it
