Oct 2008 Ed SIG Meeting Minutes

Education SIG TEI 2008 Kings College London (Return to SIG:Education)

Present: Julianne Nyhan, Veronika Lux, Bertrand Gaiffe, Serge Heiden, Susan Schreibman, Julia Flanders


 * Susan said that she and Werner Wegstein were stepping down as Chairs. She recommended Julianne Nyhan and Stephanie Schlitz replace them as Chairs. All agreed.
 * Those present introduced themselves and their interest in TEI Education.
 * Possible projects for the Education were discussed:
 * 1) Annotated Documentation sorted by language/ discipline / time period
 * 2) Localisation of training material / guidelines / idea of the 3-5 most important TEI documents be translated into several languages:
 * Sebastian reports that localisation is one of the highest priorities of the Council; currently working with French and Chinese localisation
 * Idea of an edited monthly column that would be highlighted on the TEI site: My favourite feature
 * A trainer’s page –
 * Tools for trainers
 * Tips for trainers
 * Libraries SIG would like help in promoting new documents associated with TEI Tight and revised documentation for TEI for Libraries
 * It was suggested that the TEI bibliography be augmented to contain more non-English language sources. Idea of editors who would cover different language groups who would supply references to Kevin Hawkins
 * Idea that we might select 10 articles that are particularly relevant for teaching and sort them by language
 * Put out a call to have somebody to curate a training page
 * Would be great if we could use folksonomic tagging for resources like the bibliography
 * Priorities:
 * Curator for educational materials
 * Curator for my favourite feature
 * Editors for languages for the bibliography to liaise with Kevin
