Video: Transitioning between IP to free up content

The video demonstrates how to embed content from the Learning Reference Repository (LRR) into the resource mediawiki. The LRR requires a DET username and password and the resources contained within are under a variety of IP conditions. CLI is working on LRR functionality whereby authenticated users will be automatically able to view the LRR resources stored on the CLI server within resource mediawiki pages. There is ALOT of really good existing stuff with new resources streaming in everyday. The authentication to view frees up the LRR content to be used within the resource mediawiki within the IP constraints. It would be really good if Institutes could work together to get the best stuff embedded and categorised within the resource mediawiki pages esp toolboxes. David Gilchrist has recommended re-categorising content under Industry Qualifications which I think is a good idea.

Calling all open mediawiki champions! A tabula rasa site has been set up at http://openwiki.illawarra.det.win with a view to developing an open resource Mediawiki proof of concept model.  Put your visions into a blog post. The design aim is to come up with a solution whereby an open Mediawiki sister site can be accomodated with an DET authenticated resource Mediawiki.  Make it work!!!!!
