Topics discussed:

1. wikipedia 
wikipedia and quality issues.


2. searching & provision of resources
Can use advanced search in Google to search via CC licence and resource type.

3. Nick - OE resource which he has created
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Indigenous_and_Intercultural_Health

Our institution will act as custodian to indigenous knowledge. 
 La Trobe is getting the benefit from the community of good will for free (indigenous video actors, etc).
 Lots of reasons to put it on wikiversity. Open. Easy to do. If improvements come with having an easy editor in wikiversity, this will help.
 We've had lots of support from the La Trobe community (staff, students) but no resources from the top down to support this site.
 There is nothing official from the Faculty of Health Sciences to support indigenous health and intercultural health, even though the faculty is one of the largest in Australia. We try to think of a global as well as Australian and local and La Trobe audience for the site.
 Site is pitched at 2nd year nursing and expect it to be popular as a first year elective.
 
 Risks of creating this type of resource. Spreading too thin to appease everyone's needs. Getting buy-in from indigenous partners, La Trobe, government, etc. Takes a lot of time to consult the right people (communities) to create information in this resource, rather than just going it alone.
 There is another staff development project on indigenous health in development. There is a wikibook project as well.
 
 Having this as an open project means that others will help and contribute.

4. Using open standards when LMS doesn't help

MP4 standard and mp3 format are owned by the inventor.

Using file to Archiv.org. Will convert to the open format.
Formats are:

Ogg Orbis. Ogg Theora. 

5. How can Library help us to put existing learning content into an open space - 
There is a form which has been developed. you can pick the CC licence applying to your object.

We need to look at supporting searching for these items, sharing metadata elsewhere, version control (if you wish to change the licence) etc.

We will cover 15 minutes on each issue.
