Wikiversity:Major portals

From Wikiversity

There are major Wikiversity portals that provide user-friendly introductions to learning resources in the major subject areas of Wikiversity. Each major portal also provides links to Wikiversity schools and other content development projects in the "Topic:" namespace.

• Engineering and Technology
• Interdisciplinary Studies
• Humanities
• Life Sciences
• Mathematics
• Media
• Physical Sciences
• Practical Arts and Sciences
• Professional Schools
• Social Sciences

Each of these major portals has an associated category that is used to organize Wikiversity pages. These large organizational units can be thought of as "faculties". "Faculty" is term that is often used to refer to large organizational divisions of a university. However, Wikiversity does not have any "faculty members". Wikiversity has participants who collaborate in the editing of Wikiversity pages.

In addition to the major Wikiversity portals listed above, there are a few additional major portals:

• Learning Projects
• Learning Materials
• Education
• Social Entrepreneurship (cool layout :-)

[edit] The function of portals

Wikiversity portals should help quickly guide Wikiversity visitors to Wikiversity learning resources in the main namespace. At the start of Wikiversity, portals can also function as places to invite participation at Wikiversity content development and improvement projects in the "School:" and "Topic:" namespaces.
