2 Get to Know Notice the toolbox on the upper right corner, it gives you direct access to wiki functionality and help. Toolbox Browse through the wiki and get a feeling for the content. We already created two main sections: Fundamentals of BPM and Business Process Modeling. The latter comprises material, related to modeling, divided into four topics: Concepts of Business Process Modeling Understand Process Models Create Process Models Analyze Process Models 2

3 Add Content In order to add content, such as exercises, select the topic that fits your material most. Exercises are inserted at the level of topics, a separate page exists for each topic. If your exercises do not fit any of these topics, add a new category to the main section Business Process Modeling or create a new section. Each exercise is supposed to be a single, self-contained piece of work. The exercise should contain all the information needed to fulfill it, including diagrams, listings, etc. Refer to the toolbox and choose add new content. This refers you to a page that contains useful advice to add new content. Add new content 3

5 Upload Files Each exercise should also be provided as separate, downloadable files both in MS Word and PDF format. The (MS Word) document template is also linked in the toolbox template.dot 3. Please use this template to retain consistency among the exercises. The filenames of the exercise templates should comply with our naming convention: ex<no-of-exercise>_<name_of_exercise>.<extension> Start with ex (for exercise) and the current running number of the exercise within the topic and add the title of your exercise; escape all non-ascii-characters and spaces with an underscore ( _ ). To upload your files, choose attach from the toolbox in the upper right corner. Use the upload form to upload your files.
