[edit] 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 doing {{subst:Template:Learning project}} on the new page.

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

• Introduction to Wiki Science
• Nature of wikis
• Wikipedia, A Wiki
• Web Architecture for Wikis
• Learning to learn a wiki way
• Introduction to Wikiversity

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.

Get to work creating learning activities! Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages) and start writing!
