The AGS Learning Group

• The AGS Learning Group is involved in collaborative writing based on readings chosen by consensus. In this way the Group seeks to understand the material it undertakes, providing a springboard for those who later arrive to rapidly acquire the "advanced" understanding which the Group is able to achieve. Thus the collaborative work of the Group guides Participants who follow to transform Data into Information, Information into Knowledge, and Knowledge into Wisdom more quickly than would have otherwise been possible. Thereby we expand and apply Thought to the constant and continual improvement of the Wikiversity, of Wikipedia Articles, to the writing Wikibooks.
• The AGS Learning Group collaboratively creates assignments to get a better understanding of its material and to contribute to the Wikimedia Community.
• The AGS Learning Group is improving Wikipedia entries based on information learned from its readings and discussions. The AGS Learning Group does not anticipate completing its learning objectives, but rather anticipates being ongoing in its endeavors, from time to time writing Wikibooks based on what is being learned in the Group. These Wikibooks are then to be used in future Groups who decide to study the same subjects, and it is anticipated they too will perhaps again improve upon these Wikibooks based on what they have learned using sources the earlier Groups did not use.
• The AGS Learning Group represents an activation of the Proposal: Learning Groups which see for further information.

Endeavors of Other Wikiversity Schools

Business Administration

• A Department of General Studies of Business Administration exists in the School of Business.

General Relativity

• The Department of Theoretical Physics of the School of Physics and Astronomy offers the course General Relativity.

Cognition

• The School of Education is doing Advanced Work in Concept Classification. This would relate to the Work of the Institute for Thought in Cognition and also to the Work of the The School of Media Information and Cognition.

Renewable Energy Systems

• The School of AGS is linked to Wikipedia for the purpose of advancing the work in the area of Renewable Energy Systems and also is linked to the School of Engineering for the purpose of advancing the work in the area of Renewable Energy Systems.

Theory of Everything

Wikiversity Learning Projects Portal

The Learning Projects Portal

• A major part of Wikiversity learning is being organized around Learning Projects and Learning Groups. Wikiversity has adopted a "learn by doing" model for education. Wikiversity editors are encouraged to provide Learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Wiki technology promotes collaborative webpage editing and collaborative wiki editing projects can be thought of as "learning projects" -- participants learn while they edit wiki pages and explore topics of interest.
