== External Resources ==

There are masses of free learning resources available on the web. A good example is MIT's OpenCourseWare project (http://ocw.mit.edu). Has there been much thought given to how to incorporate external resources in the materials at Wikiversity? Will they be simply listed as external links like Wikipedia, or will these resources be more organized, or even copied into Wikiversity?

:One of the two main goals of the [[Wikiversity:Approved Wikiversity project proposal|Wikiversity project proposal]] is to host online learning materials. While doing so, it makes sense to find, list, review, link to, and make use of learning resources that are available outside of Wikiversity.....see [[Hunter-gatherers project]]. As long as people are willing to have their educational content made available under the [[Wikiversity:Copyrights|GFDL]], then it can be used inside Wikiversity. --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 21:33, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

:I wanted to start moving content over here cut and past from MIT and open university, but was told against it. Something about their CC license says that the material cannot be used for commercial uses, while our GDFL says it can. We can reword the material and use it as a guide like they do on wikipedia, but no cut and paste.--[[User:Rayc|Rayc]] 23:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
