About departments
Departments' names start with the "Topic:" prefix, and so reside in the Topic: namespace. Wikiversity departments can be "contained" (linked to) by multiple schools. If two schools link to the same department they should cooperate to develop the department. See: Wikiversity:Naming conventions.

About learning and learning Projects
See: Learning Projects and the Wikiversity:Learning model.

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 suggest the use of the learning project template (by copying/pasting ((subst:Learning project boilerplate}} into the new page. Replace the (( with curly brackets {{.

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Departments can cooperate by sharing (some of) the same learning resources.

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

Select a descriptive name for each learning project. Learning projects can be listed in alphanumeric order by code, however code numbers are optional. For other naming conventions, and guidelines on creating specific types of courses, see: Degree plan and Stream plan.
