We used group discussion and older technologies like the whiteboard in a constant process of asking students what they were learning and what they wanted to put into the Noongarpedia for others to learn from.

A young fella engaged in research in class – on a couch, iPad in hand, notebook by his side and Noongar language resources at the front. He was one of the many students who would take many notes when we had Noongar facilitators and ask how things were spelt and pronounced. In one of the workshops, Olman Walley eventually said something like this in response ‘My family say it this way, others might say it another way ... I might spell that word like this … but you might hear it differently and spell it the way you hear it. I reckon you should just write it down best you can and then check up on it later like I do. If you’ve got old people around you can ask them or you can use the dictionaries and things like that...’. So that is what young fella did.
