[edit] Learning Projects

See: Learning Projects and the Wikiversity:Learning model.

[edit] Portals

Portal:Music

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

We're going to be using learning project template, ({{subst:Template:Learning project}}) to build our new:

[edit] Collaborations

[edit] Lessons

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.

[edit] Sessions

We're going to customize Learning project codes, by adding "sessions":

Portal:Music/Blues & Rock

These will probably be made from templates of some sort that work through a w:Tablature system that we'll have to come up with. The current session will be in the section Garage below and on Topic talk:Basic Blues & Rock.

If everything goes according to plan, we should be able to produce actual audio files. See The Future: Native Firefox ogg Support and Internet Audio and Video.

Sweeping the garage... chill for a bit

Meanwhile, you can read Introduction to GarageBand

[edit] To do

Lots of things to do

See: Naming conventions

[edit] Chores

Wikiversity is really new and plenty of mundane chores need to be done:

[edit] Lists

We need a list of lists:

  1. genres
  2. instruments
  3. artists
  4. ...

We can draw on Wikipedia for most all of this but we need to decide what to include in the Wikiversity main namespace.

[edit] Active participants

Active participants in this Learning Group

[edit] User subpages

We're going to make this section a bit more accomodating to the Musician ego. We would like to ask participants to create a subpage to their userpage with a format that includes links to instrument you play (or want to learn) – Guitar, Bass, Drums, Saxophone, etc. Instrument articles should be in the main namespace. If not create one!

You should also indicate styles and influences: w:Beatles, w:Pink Floyd, w:Electronica, w:Delta Blues, etc. If you have your own website, you can of course list that, too, but see the next section.

If you are a member of a Music or related WikiProject at Wikipedia, you can show that also.

Once we come up with a format, we'll do a template like {{MusicStudent}} or something. Meanwhile just introduce yourself on the talk page.

Someday, we may form the Wikiversity Gargage Band!
