Description
Speaker: Professor John Willinsky, Stanford University School of Education
Location: Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) Library (252 Bloor Street West), Ground Floor

Each year, a greater proportion of the scholarly literature is being made freely available online (open access), posing new challenges, as well as new opportunities, for the future of learning. This presentation will use the Open Access policy mandates that faculty members have supported at Harvard, Stanford, MIT and Kansas as an example of what is being done and why it matters.

John Willinsky is currently on the faculty of the Stanford School of Education where he teaches courses on knowledge systems, access to knowledge and scholarly communication. He directs the Public Knowledge Project which focuses on extending access to knowledge through online sources such as Open Journal Systems (OJS), Open Conference Systems and Open Monograph Press (OMP). Dr. Willinsky’s research centers on both analyzing and altering scholarly publishing practices to understand whether this body of knowledge might yet become more of a public resource for learning and deliberation. He is the author of Empire of Words: The Reign of the OED and Learning to Divide the World: Education at Empire’s End, which won Outstanding Book Awards from the American Educational Research Association and History of Education Society, as well as the more recent titles, Technologies of Knowing, If Only We Knew: Increasing the Public Value of Social Science Research and The Access Principle: The Case for Open Access to Research and Scholarship — the latter of which has won the 2006 Blackwell Scholarship Award and the Computers and Composition Distinguished Book Award.

Wiki Syntax
Bold text     __text__
Italic text     2 single quotes (').     ''text''

Table of contents
{toc}, {maketoc} prints out a table of contents for the current page based on structures (toc) or ! headings (maketoc)
Horizontal rule     ----
Text box     ^Box content^
Centered text     ::text::
Dynamic variables
%Name% Inserts an editable variable
External links
use square brackets for an external link: [URL], [URL|link_description],[URL|link_description|relation] or [URL|description|relation|nocache] (that last prevents the local Wiki from caching the linked page; relation can be used to insert rel attribute for the link - useful e.g. for shadowbox).
For an external Wiki, use ExternalWikiName:PageName or ((External Wiki Name: Page Name))
Square Brackets
Use [[foo] to show [foo].
Wiki References
((page)) or ((page|description)) for wiki references
Lists
* for bullet lists, # for numbered lists, ;Word:definition for definiton lists
Indentation
+, ++ Creates an indentation for each plus(useful in list to continue at the same level)
Tables
||row1-col1|row1-col2|row1-col3
row2-col1|row2-col2|row2-col3||
Title bar     -=Title=-
Monospace font     -+Code sample+-
Line break
%%% (very useful especially in tables)
Multi-page pages
Use ...page... to separate pages
Non parsed sections
~np~ data ~/np~ Prevents wiki parsing of the enclosed data.
Preformated sections
~pp~ data ~/pp~ Displays preformated text/code; no Wiki processing is done inside these sections (as with np), and the spacing is fixed (no word wrapping is done). ~pre~ data ~/pre~ also displayes preformatted text with fixed spacing, but wiki processing still occurs on the text.
Comments
~tc~ Tiki Comment ~/tc~ makes a Tiki comment. It will be completely removed from the display, but saved in the file for future reference. ~hc~ HTML Comment ~/hc~ makes an HTML comment. It will be inserted as a comment in the output HTML; these are not normally displayed in browsers, but can be seen using "View Source" or similar.
Direction
{r2l}, {l2r}, {rm}, {lm}Insert resp. right-to-left and left-to-right text direction DIV (up to end of text) and markers for langages as arabic or hebrew.
Special characters
~hs~ hard space, ~c~ ©, ~amp~ &, ~lt~ <, ~gt~ >, ~ldq~ “, ~rdq~ ”, ~lsq~ ‘, ~rsq~ ’, ~--~ —, ~bs~ \, numeric between ~ for html numeric characters entity

Because the Wiki paragraph formatting feature is off, each line will be presented as you write it. This means that if you want paragraphs to be wrapped properly, a paragraph should be all together on one line.
