==Personal learning space at Wikiversity==
I was wondering what the position will be on Wikiversity participants using their User pages to host personal learning spaces. That is were they keep notes, write blogs, answer assignments, create learning profiles, track their learning progress, request feedback and other activities relating to their individual learning. This would take Wikiversity in the direction of a collaborative personal learning platform. I think this type of activity is essential to support the three main aims of Wikiversity: creating free(dom) learning materials and resources, encouraging learning communities and projects to support these resources and helping to develop and support existing wikimedia projects.

:I have the impression that Wikiversity is still in a primary phase where everything have to be settled as yet. My personal preference is that individual user pages will be left alone by the community, to encourage creativity.--[[User:Daanschr|Daanschr]] 16:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

::The tradition that has evolved within Wikimedia Foundation projects is that wiki editors are free to use their user pages as they see fit, as long as it is clear to other project participants that user pages are being used to support the mission of the project. When Wikiversity was launched, [[w:Jimmy Wales|Jimmy Wales]] said, "..... the idea here is to also host learning communities, so people who are actually trying to learn, actually have a place to come and interact and help each other figure out how to learn things."
