Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Llbritt! Thank you for your contributions. I am MikeLynch and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!  Lynch 7  16:52, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the cookies Mike. This is all new for me but my goal is to move outside my comfort zone to give my students a good experience with collaboratively sharing knowledge and experiencing organizational membership in a new organizational form - wikipedia. I am getting great local support and just had a meeting with a professor who used wikipedia last year in a course. Thank you for your offer of assistance.

Introduction to Organizational Communication @ JMU
Hello - Wanted to stop by and let you know I've signed up to be an Online Ambassador for your course. I'm looking forward to being a resource to you and your students. I live in California so Pacific timezone; I'm on wikipedia ~6 days/week; I'm best reached on my wikipedia talkpage. I've watchlisted your talkpage and the classpage to keep an eye on class related communication. P.S. You can call me Rosie. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 01:58, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Rosie. This is all new for me but I am enjoying the challenge of learning along with my students. An instructor here who used this in a class last year recommended that as student form groups to write/edit pages that they also read the bios and solicit their on online ambassadors. Do you recommend this? I have 30 students and will likely have 6-8 groups working on pages.

Lori L. Britt 16:27, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Lori. I think that's good advice. Also, tell them not to feel bashful about leaving a note on someone else's talkpage if the first person doesn't respond quickly, i.e. from time to time, we're all away from wikipedia for a 48 hour stretch, which can be a long time if you're a student with a question. (FYI, after you type a note, as you did above to me, type in four of these: ~. After you click 'Save page', your name/date/time stamp will automatically follow your note.) --Rosiestep (talk) 01:43, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Organization communication articles that need minor edits
Hello - might be a good place to start the search for articles that need minor edits. I'm catching a plane soon so I'm sorry I can't go through them myself right now. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:11, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help - I found that one and a few others and my students actually made their first live edits! Hope to chat again soon as they progress. Dr LLB 17:06, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

See you Friday!
Dr. Britt,

Friday at 1:30 or 2pm works fine for me, just let me now which time work better for you. -dean (talk) 17:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Adding students
Nice to hear that you are still using the Wikipedia assignments! I haven't messed with the new course tool yet, but the instructions for distributing the course to the students are at Course_pages. Basically, it sounds like your students should go to the course page, and using the enrollment token as a password, add themselves to the course, while they are signed in. Their is a video showing the process as well on that page. If you are still having problems outside of that, the community relations guy for the tool is User:Sage_Ross_(WMF). Hope that helps!

Thanks.
Watched the video and think I have it figured out. Appreciate your help. Comm Prof LLB 03:59, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there!
Hi; I'm Theo, and I've just added myself as an Online Ambassador for your course. This basically means that I'll help monitor your students, give feedback, help resolve issues, etc., etc. The full spiel is located at Online_Ambassadors/Guidelines. Let me know if you have any questions, or when the course "officially" gets started, by messaging me on my talk page. Looking forward to working with you! — Theopolisme   ( talk )  04:52, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Checking In
Hello! I was just stopping by to practice leaving messages on the talk board. We are all still feeling out wikipedia and getting used to it, but definitely becoming more comfortable. As you can see I've figured out the talk page.

Glad you stopped by Jonathon!
Any ideas yet on topics to develop? Feel free to consider contemporary organizational topics that you can infuse and link with theories of organizational communication. You don;t have to limit yourselves to covering just topics from the text- you could cover a particular notable company and discuss how it is an example of some theoretical approach.

Hello
Just wanted to practice leaving a message on your page. It is all starting to make sense and I am slowly learning how to work the world of Wikipedia.

Glad you found me
I love the phrase "how to work the world of Wikipedia." Keep exploring! Comm Prof LLB 18:33, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
