This page is a place where I will describe my thoughts on creating activities here on wikiversity, and also the broader subject of learning in the wiki environment. I encourage people to leave comments by editing this page. For older posts, see the archives:

[edit] September 2008
- At the bottom of every page there is text that reads: "All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (see Copyrights for details)." The page that gives details, however, is a proposed policy. We might want to change the link to a WMF copyright page until we make our own policy official. It doesn't look good to link to a copyright page that basically says "maybe this is our policy." --mikeu talk 00:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

- Philosophical Question #3: Is the individual greater than the community?
- That depends on the nature of the community. In a combat unit fighting for material gains, it is customary to sacrifice a chess piece for the sake of winning the game. In a spiritual community, saving the individual is an overarching goal. In an educational community, the dilemma is comparable to the one faced by Mrs. Zajac in Tracy Kidder's book, Among Schoolchildren. In that story, the teacher spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to save two problem children (Clarence and Robert). In the end, Mrs. Zajac failed to reach them, and so everyone lost, including the other children in the class who were neglected while Mrs. Zajac spent so much time on a futile effort to reach Clarence and Robert.
