Website Fantasies (Discussion)

In 2010, we’ll be rebranding Limmud Toronto. One of the things we’re hoping to do is improve our website. We haven’t yet determined the scope of the overhauls, but it’s nice to dream big. So, use this thread as a cyber-suggestion box to tell us what kind of information and tools you’d like to see on the Limmud Toronto website in future. Do you want a more dynamic, community-focused website, maybe kind of like this learnhub but not just for volunteers? Do you want a little Torah-study every week? Do you want video or audio podcasts of the 2009 presentations? Share your thoughts with us!

    I would love to see a few of our presenters from academia using the Learnhub to post a lesson or discussion that is relevant to the topic(s) they proposed at the festival.

    I’m hoping we can grow the website so that it becomes a thriving learning community. Whether that means using the learnhub technology for lessons/discussions, or coming at it some other way, I really hope it becomes an ongoing space for community interaction and education.

    I was also hoping to be able to offer little podcasts (audio or video streaming) online, featuring snippets of presentations from the festival, or featuring behind-the-scenes clips with festival presenters. There’s a lovely lady, Anne Dublin, who is a writer and a podcaster, who can help us out with these things. Sometimes she submits podcasts to The Book of Life, based in Florida: http://www.jewishbooks.blogspot.com/

    I also hope we can use the Limmud website or this learnhub to showcase our community’s talents. For example, Laya Crust, one of our presenters, was telling me last night that she’s part of a project called Women of the Book, which features 54 female artists each depicting a different parashah in pictorial form, and whose work will be bound together like a Torah, to be rolled out on parchment. Sounds exciting!
