Unschooling

I've updated the course description. I saw your comments on the talk page. Any thoughts? As a side note I also created Learning by failing. -- dark lama 17:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Reflection and Evaluation

Hi Cormaggio,

I've just finished a course on Evaluation, and I think that your work on reflection is much more clear to me now as a component of Evaluation. I'm going to start to clean up the Adult Education resources a bit, but I was wondering if you had and Topics on Reflection or writings on it outside of Wikiversity. There isn't much in the Adult Ed space here, so I'm sure the eval pieces will be a nice complement. Historybuff 16:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Frustration with Wikiversity

Dear Sir: I chose you at random not knowing how to contact any body at Wikiversity. My apologies for this.

I think the concept of Wikiversity is great. It seems to me to be designed predominantly for "young folks" intimately familiar with computers. I tried the last about 2 weeks to begin developing a curriculum that I felt might be of interest to a community - some community. however despite spending a considerable time trying to penetrate the mysteries of the WV setup -language, etc i feel that i have to spend more time in putting the "" stuff" on then creating it. I do believe that better - more concise tutorials and editor guidelines might be very welcome. ( I do not see how I casual reader/ visitor is encouraged to participate in a certain topic) I taught myself Html, and I became quite proficient in using the "TiddlyWiki markup language. I each case the learning curve seemed to have been substantially shorter than here. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Again I think what you ( as a group/ organization) are doing is laudable and I hope that I might be able to contribute. If not we will have to chaulk it up to the onset of Alzheimer's disease . In that case not a real loss to anyone Thank you for your time Altera vista 01:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Project incubator

Please check Wikiversity:Project_incubator for an update on HHF. I'd really appreciate your help in setting up the project or atleast looking it over once in a while. --Dharav ^talk 12:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

No I have not been coordinating with anyone else, that is one reason why nothing much has happened with the project. I know that the project will create a lot of structure, but when I thought of structuring it - I assumed an initial categorization of 1000+ questions/discussions.

This'll help, because apart from the direct goal of helping out people, this forum will help create a lot of content for wikibooks and wikiversity. Ideas come from discussions. I don't think any one will have a lot of incentives working all by himself. But when the same person sees a big community, it's characteristics and everything - he knows what exactly will help. He knows that his work is needed by someone at the very moment.

It's different from Help desk not in the content/concept. It is different in terms of the expected volumes. Expected depends on how well we market the project. You can checkout information regarding IIT-JEE, AIEEE, AIPMT and AFMC. These are examinations that are taken by a huge number of students in India. The education is all haywired, particularly because students do not do muh productive work in school and instead rely on coaching centers/Rot schools which dish uninteresting education.

There's a lot that can be done with this. I am sure I can attract a lot of people from the demographic that I just mentioned. If they come and see wikiversity's involvement in teaching them (ofcourse, those exams are based purely on highschool syllabus), they'd be excited about it all - mainly because wikiversity and wikipedia are sister projects.

Right now, I want some major help in setting up the forum's navigation and text. Can you suggest me someone who would be willing to help me out with this? Thanks. --Dharav ^talk 05:59, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
