==Basic editing==
===Entering Text===
Just type in text
or
copy paste from your existing text file (.doc or .odt) into the wiki page


===Headings===
To create a heading, simply put the "=" sign before and after the heading. Single  "=" stands for HEADING 1,  "==" for HEADING 2 (SUB HEADING TO for HEADING 1) and so on. Create as many headings and sub headings as you want



===External Web link===
When you want to link a page from outside the TOER website, (external link)<br>
Syntax is as follows: Open Square Bracket,followed by the URL/web page address,followed by a space and then the description of the link.

eg
<nowiki>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root Wikipedia Page for Surds]</nowiki>

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root Wikipedia Page for Surds]
<br>''http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root'' - is the web link
<br>''Wikipedia Page for Surds'' - name of the link

===Internal Web link===
When you want to link a page from within the TOER website (internal link)
Syntax is as follows<br>
open DOUBLE Square Bracket,followed by the TOER page name (without http etc) ,followed by pipe and then the description of the link
eg
<nowiki>[[Surds | TOER Surds page]]</nowiki>
will read as
[[Surds | TOER Surds page]]
<br>Surds is the name of the TOER page - http://teacher-network.in/OER/index.php/Surds
<br>TOER Surds page is the name of the link

==Advanced Editing==
In TOER, we upload text and mind maps, other resources are uploaded elsewhere and then linked/embedded on the TOER using widgets-
#Geogebra files - [http://geogebratube.org Geogebratube]
#Photos - slide show in [http://picasaweb.google.com Google Picassa]
#Presentations - slide show in [http://slideshare.net Slideshare]
#Videos - [http://Youtube.com Youtube] or [http://vimeo.com Vimeo]
#Podcasts (audio files) - [http://yourlisten.com Yourlisten]

===Inserting audio podcast===
#It is easier to create audio resources than video resources. Audio resources are very useful for language learning. They are a very useful complement to the usual print resources. While print resources support the 'reading/writing' skills, audio resources can support the 'listening/speaking' skills. 
#You can record an audio resource on your smart phone or on your computer. 
#You can edit the audio resource using a public software like audacity. Editing can reduce/remove unwanted sounds, add background music etc.
#The final audio clip can be uploaded on http://yourlisten.com and the link provided on TOER

==Useful reports from wiki==
===What changes have been made on any wiki page - and who has made them===
At the bottom of each wiki page, the link 'history' is provided. Clicking this will give us all the changes made on that page, when it was made and who made it. Any changes made by mistake can be 'rolled back' or deleted. 

To get the changes made on the entire TOER wiki, click on [[Special:RecentChanges | 'Recent changes']] on the left frame

===User list===
To get a list of all the wiki editors, we can [[Special:ListUsers | visit]]

=Forgot password / cannot login=
#Check if your user id is created, visit [[Special:ListUsers]] pages in the wiki and see if your id is there
#if user id not created, then write TOER@KarnatakaEducation.org.in and ask for a wiki id. Note that normally wiki id will be given in a training workshop
#If user id exists, but you have forgotten your password, then Click on Log in button
#Click on ' Forgotten your login details? ' and ENTER your WIKI ID
#WIKI will send a mail to the 'Connected email id', provided during the creation of the login-id
#Open your email. Click on the weblink in your email and you will connect to DIET WIKI
#Click on your wiki link
#Enter your wiki id and your NEW password to login. (keep this NEW PASSWORD CAREFULLY and do not lose it) 
#You will see your id on the top right part of the screen

=Steps to use Wiki to create a web-site=
#Identify the audience for the site - who do you want should see the site
#Collate the information you want to share through the site
##Information about the institution - plans, programmes, staff
##Detailed information about programmes - objectives, scope, approach, activities, status, challenges/risks, outcomes
#Try and collate information in different formats
##Text information, images/photos/pictures, videos, animations, existing web links
#Make a 'design' for your site - home page contents, other pages.  This is similar to designing a home - based on needs, how many rooms and for what purpose. Good news is that you can always add pages to your wiki whenever you want, and add/modify/remove content, which is not so easily possible with a house!!
##Home page should be simple and clear. Avoid jazzy styles.
##No information should be too lengthy on home page. Use additional pages for providing details. 
##Cluster/categorize information and provide it in pages based on such categories/clusters.
##Any page address (web link) should be provided either on the site home page, or on another page, based on relevance. This can help user to reach any page from the home page. Of course, user can reach a page just through the web address as well.
