Wikiversity is being voted on right now. At the time of writing yes on Wikiversity is in the lead, but the margin is slender. Plese vote yes on Wikiversity.

[edit] Ideas

Why not have a course on the anthropology of the internet, and wikipedia in paticular.

  • Eventually, the International Cultural Anthropology community will be aware of the Wikipedia, and the Wikiversity project. We can certainly make it easier -- a short introduction prefacing a series of practice/descriptions of what wikimedia provides/could-provide to the field of cultural anthropology.

>> Here are some topical communities within wikipedia : wikipedia:Wikiprojects . The wikipedia:Dispute_resolution ritual is fascinating, in that it's all written on user Talk pages, as, a large chalkboard. Or maybe it's just interesting. It at least, demonstrates peer review and institution-hierarchy. Downchuck 08:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doubtful organisation...

I find the notion of combining the subtopics of anthro into one course a rather dubious one...I suspect the enormity of the task somewhat explains why the 'course page' contains largely a bunch of headings and good intentions rather than an actual course...it seems more sensible to present courses on each subfield rather than expecting that any one course could possibly encompass all subfields (most especially given all the subfields within all the subfields)...

[edit] Related Department

Hi all, I am a involved with the School of History and I am presently starting up a Department of Historiography. Historiography is the study of how history is practiced. I was wondering if it would at all be possible to place a 'Related Schools/Departments' on your School page. I presently have a similar page on my departmental page, and have included Anthropology. I have included Anthropology because it is a main aspect of any historians research. Many historians use Anthropological evdience in their writings. If you could place a link to my department on your main page that would be great. Thanks again. Here is the link to my department Department of Historiography Dctrainor 19:47, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
