You can view 2 tutorials on the ATiT server, which will teach you the basics on wiki editing and will enhance your skills on the collaboration aspect of this project. Sound is included in these tutorials!
Resources
- Please download the Cheatsheet PDF in your own language as it will make the wiki editing much easier.
- There is also a "Reference Card" available online: Reference Card PNG.
- Finally, for more detailed queries not addressed below, see the Wikipedia Editing Guidelines.
Flash tutorials:
- How to edit a wiki with chapters such as:
- What is a Wiki?
- How to make a user account
- How to create a page
- How to edit a page
- How to add structure (including short section on tables)
- How to add images
Further tips
- How to link to subsections or subheaders?
- Section linking looks like this [[Virtual_campus#History_and_detail|History and detail]] which results into History and detail
- How to add media such as PDFs or Words to this wiki?
- First upload them via the Upload file page and then link them as:
- ! a media link: [[media:Swissuniversities.pdf|Swiss Universities PDF]] results in Swiss Universities PDF
- Note: a full or "external" link such as [http://www.virtualschoolsandcolleges.eu/Image:Swissuniversities.pdf Swiss Universities PDF] is deprecated as relative links (without the http://www.) limit the wiki's flexibility (for instance when the domain name changes) and these absolute links don't show up in the "linked here" section on each media file page.
- Clearly indicate if the user is surfing to a PDF, WORD, ...
For more tutorials and templates:
- WikiEducator tutorials
- online Cheatsheet and Cheatsheet PDF
- Table templates (adding borders, colours, ...)
- How to change Excel tables to Wikiformatting, such as an easy converter from excel to wiki with copy-paste
