[edit] Learning materials and learning projects
Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

For a moment assuming that there does exist a function for religion, above individual aspirations, it is of utmost interest to harness that goal so as not to lose sight of it. If the goal is for a better, in the sense of a more peaceful, happy and free-willed society, then why has no religion formulated such a concentrated concept that by its mere existence, it would abolish all obstacles to that goal. Imagine a thought, or question, that carried with it such great impact on a mind that it would eliminate all misdeeds, confusion of common sense manners of behavior, and unethical thoughts. --The writer is not a theologian, merely an amateur philosopher.
