The need for a learning resource for Positive Psychology on Wikiversity

Positive Psychology is an ever increasing school of psychology and yet there is no official course taught at university institutions throughout Australia, let alone on Wikiversity. This comes as a surprise, considering its recent prominence in the field of psychology. To enable people to learn about Positive Psychology I propose that a course be collaborated on Wikiversity. However, since I am not a formal educator I propose/write this course in good faith. Below I have placed a few key areas that I suggest to overview within this course:

• What is Positive Psychology? (Introduction)
• History of Positive Psychogy

• Martin Seligman

• Resilience
• Mindfulness (and Meditation)
• Learned Optimism
• Self-esteem and Self-kindness
• Finding your Passion / Flow

• Creativity

• Happiness and Wellbeing
• Broaden and Build Theory
• Practical Application:

• Positive Psychology in the workplace

Assignments and Participants

I would want to write this course so people can actively participate and gain a ground understanding of Positive Psychology. An idea that came to mind would be to set up the course to enable participants to write and share assignments through their blog/userspace on wikiversity.
