- Be bold! There has not been much activity in this area so far. If you have any questions about Wikiversity conventions, etc, let me know. --JWSchmidt 17:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Related materials
Here are a couple of learning projects and materials that might help build School:Geography
- Topic:Cartography - proposed learning project
- Topic:Geoinformatics - School:Computer Science
- Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) - article copied here from Wikipedia
- ...may be others
Wikipedia's List of basic geography topics may be a resource to help outline and get things started. Sadly, w:Portal:Geography there has been vandalized. I notified w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography. Maybe we can work with them. CQ 17:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Textbook development

I started a main Geography article and I noticed that b:Geography redirects to b:Wikibooks:Social sciences bookshelf#Geography. Looks like we have our work cut out for us! Maybe we can build a virtual globe in cooperation with the Cartography and Geoinformatics departments? CQ 18:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Its a good idea for a research topic, i looked at other research like the bloom clock project, something like this would be great. Franko2nd 18:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
i have created a book on Basic geography started to add things to it feel free to add chapters or information. Plus if you can put it on the Geography bookshelf. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Basic_Geography Franko2nd 23:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
