Hello all, it's great to finally have Wikiversity up and running! I'm so looking forward to working on this project - but am pretty busy over the next month with my dissertation (about Wikiversity ;-)). I'll be happy to answer any questions about the project - I've been pretty active in getting this project started. Looking forward to working with you! Cormaggio 08:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Bureaucrat

I was made an English Wikiversity bureaucrat as a temporary measure on the project's first day, and, at time of writing, still hold that (lonesome) position. If you need any assistance, leave me a message on my talk page. If it's a general custodian (ie "admin") query, you'd probably be better off with Wikiversity:Request custodian action, as I'm really not the most active custodian here.

Re: Degree programs

Most of the research I've been doing has been into local degree programs and how they would relate to online materials. I've been trying to find a means to obtain accreditation from local colleges or universities through independent online studies. Something akin to Excelsior portfolio based assessment. I've yet to find anything online on how a portfolio should be formatted and what information a portfolio should include. I've also yet to find out what institutions outside of Excelsior et al would allow such an assessment.

Some things I need to do..

Write research-related guidelines (eg. Wikiversity:Research and on Beta)
Help out on providing a comprehensive and easy-to-follow tutorial on what Wikiversity is, and how you can contribute and/or benefit from it.
Help in providing a framework for building Wikiversity, which I don't really think exists yet (so far, it's a bit piece-meal, and particular learning materials are connected with particular pedagogies, without making that explicit)
- Wikiversity:Learning, Wikiversity:Disclosures
Work on Media literacy (and all my other interests), hopefully learning about what will work on Wikiversity through that process
- Making an educational video
Metadata - what's happening on that front, I wonder..?
