[edit] Ways to utilize Wikiversity to learn about and conduct research on open projects

Open projects could be examined from a variety of perspectives. Economists could study the economics of open projects; sociologists could study the way they affect society and the groups working on them interact. The dynamics of open projects could also be studied by psychologists, educators, business types, and probably from other perspectives as well.

If you would be interested in further utilizing Wikiversity as a tool to investigate open projects, you could do that by...

participating in or studying some active ,probably open, projects.
