Wikiversity:Subpages

From Wikiversity

This page is a proposed Wikiversity policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. References or links to this page should only describe it as a "proposal".

Wikiversity allows creation of subpages for articles in the main namespace. Subpages are given names such as "Page/Subpage". Subpages are used to help organise individual projects such as courses, seminars, and research projects.

Example of a main namespace page with a subpage.

[edit] Courses

Courses are learning projects that can be joined at any time. Courses can have subpages like:

• Source materials (texts and articles)
• Help desk (for list of "tutors")
• Participants (students)
• Quizzing and testing materials
• Papers, etc.
  • Papers by student

[edit] Classes

Classes are guided by instructors. These take place over a certain time frame. (Maybe not needed)

Classes on Wikiversity could use subpages for some or all of the following:

• Source materials
• Instructors
• Rosters
• Syllabi
• Quizzes
• Tests
• Study guides
• Papers
• Papers by students
• Reflections by students
• Assignments by students
• Whatever else you might find useful. Please be creative and innovative. Wikiversity is somewhat of an experiment!

For example you could use a page like Introduction to Engineering/Student848/Reflection 1, Introduction to Engineering/Roster, Introduction to Engineering/Quiz 1, Introduction to Engineering/Exam 1 study guide/Answers, etc. Please use subpages so long as they are useful!

[edit] Seminars

Seminars are student-led, though instructors advise. These are split into projects, which may or may not have time limits.

• Instructors
• Projects
  • Source materials
  • Other materials (for art projects, etc.)
  • Submission and critique

[edit] Research

• Brainstorming
• Different sections of research (results, methods, introductions, etc.)
• Publishing papers
• Allowing for peer review
• Start a peer reviewed journal at Wikiversity

[edit] Userpages

• Archives
• Sandboxes (testpages)
• Workspaces
• Educational related blogs

[edit] (learning) Projects

Please note that Lunar Boom Town and CisLunarFreighter makes copious use of subpages.

Once you have an account here at Wikiversity for a few days or so, the move function can be a rather useful tool!
