Building a range of collaborative online toolkits and open source spaces, including:

WordPress for BC at https://opened.ca (Mostly built behind the scenes at present.)  Pooling resources and in-kind efforts to install premium themes, plug-ins, arrange for professional system administrators and developers, etc…

The power of cloning:

 

Using the NSCloner Pro plugin will allow us to offer our community pre-themed, pre-configured (and potentially pre-seeded with resources and media) to speed up development time, make life easier for new users, promote collaboration. For instance:

The SPLOT Writer. A generic master site clones to uses at TRU (http://l21c.trubox.ca/) and UNBC (http://unbc.biol312.ca/).

Starter portfolios such http://ikmeportfolio.trubox.ca/ and http://culturalidentity.trubox.ca/ with embedded tutorials and writing prompts.

Online instructional sites such as https://www.fentanylsafety.com/ with quiz tools, etc… via plugins such as LearnDash.
