Aquaculture/Mariculture
Welcome to the Aquaculture Learning Project.
Content summary
[edit | edit source]Project participants develop course interdisciplinary course materials, improve wikimedia coverage of aquaculture, as well as conducting secondary (and where possible) primary research into economic, political, social and scientific aspects of aquaculture.
Goals
[edit | edit source]This learning project offers learnings activities that allow Wikiversity participants to learn the science behind aquaculture and develop knowledge and effectiveness of aquaculture "on the job" by participating in developing wikiversity (and other wikimedia) materials and conducting research.
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!
You should also read about the Wikiversity:Learning model. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple projects. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
