Learning Commons:Workflow

Do you have a learning or research commons project that you want to highlight on our resource site for students: UBC's Learning Commons? If so, here are the steps to follow to get it done.

1. Create your page in the Learning Commons namespace. See Learning Commons:Namespace Orientation. This will your index page for your content.
2. Check that you have set up your page correctly once you have created it. If you see it on the index page for the Learning Commons, then you have created it correctly.
3. Author your content on subpages within your wiki space. For example, your wiki space may look like this: Learning Commons: Land and Food Systems. An example of common subpages within a wiki spage will look like this: Learning Commons: Land and Food Systems/Description, Learning Commons: Land and Food Systems/Services, Learning Commons: Land and Food Systems/Hours. Important Note: Keep your subpage titles short.
4. Review the Learning Commons:Writing Guidelines for tips on how to prepare your content and what you might want to include.
5. Compile your subpage content into an information page for the Learning Commons site. You can do this easily using transclusion. With transclusion, you just add the reference code for each page that you want to include. It is best to call this aggregate page something generic like: About or Information.
6. Request a page on the Learning Commons site
7. Notify us when your page is ready to publish on the Learning Commons site and we'll add your content to the site via RSS.
