Audio in Wiki Articles

• (Inline Audio) see Wikipedia:Template:Audio for inline audio

Alabama ( pronunciation ) is a state located in...

'''Alabama''' ({{Audio|en-us-Alabama.ogg|pronunciation}}) is a state located in...

• (Audio Player) import audio file just like an image as media file. Now embedded audio file will be displayed with an audio player in the right column.

Accordion Audio Sample with Chords

• (Slide Audio Comments) Audio comments can be used as slide comments to generate PanDoc-Presentations with audio comments for a single slide. Parsing of Wiki source text must be adapted (see also wtf_wikipedia.js repository of Spencer Kelly.
• (Wiki2Reveal Audio Demo) The Wiki2Reveal-Audio demo is a test page which includes audio comments in the slides

Syntax Highlight

In learning resources in computer sciences or mathematics it is helpful to provide some code snippets to demonstrate the algorithmic workflow in a specific language. Syntax Highlighting improves comprehensiveness or readability of code.

HTML

Syntax highlighting for HTML can be accomplished with:

  <syntaxhighlight lang="html">
    <img src="myimage.jpg">
    <b>Bold text</b>
  </syntaxhighlight>

will provide

    <img src="myimage.jpg">
    <b>Bold text</b>

Javascript

Syntax highlighting for Javascript can be accomplished with:

  <syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
    function multiply (a,b) {
      var c = 0;
      if (b !== 0) {
         c= a / b
      }
      return c
    }
  </syntaxhighlight>

will provide

    function divide (a,b) {
      var c = 0;
      if (b !== 0) {
         c= a / b
      }
      return c
    }

GNU R

Syntax highlighting for GNU R can be accomplished with:

  <syntaxhighlight lang="R">
     mat <- matrix(c(1,2,3,4), ncol=2)
  </syntaxhighlight>

will provide

     mat <- matrix(c(1,2,3,4), ncol=2)

Wiki Quiz

Example Quiz showing the basic quiz elements - see also Help:Quiz.

Wiki Translations of Pages

• Interlanguage Links: To add a new interlanguage link to a learning resource visible in the language menu on the right, add the following code at the end e.g. of the Wikiversity page Water:

<noinclude>[[de:Wasser]]</noinclude>

After saving the article in Wikiversity an interlanguage link will be shown on the left in the menu to the translation. Vice versa add the following interlanguage link to the german article about water "Wasser"

Tools

Tools, that are created for Wikiversity support of learning resources are created as privacy friendly AppLSAC software, that runs online and offline in a modern browser.

• Wikipedia2Wikiversity Link converter, that converts the Wikipedia links to interwiki links when you want to use Wikipedia content in a learning resouce (always a citation to the source wikipedia version of the article, if you use the the tool for learning resources - see "cite this page" in MediaWiki menu)
• Wikipedia to Wikiversity Import: Special:Import for converting a Wikipedia documents and required templates into a learning resource (e.g. for consistency the template and parameters might be supported and if required to Wikiversity document/article structure.
• ImageMap Editor for using Image Maps in Wikiversity (forked HTML5 tool that removed server dependencies - runs offline as ZIP-download)
• PanDocElectron Wrapper for PanDoc developed by John MacFarlane to convert Wikipedia sources into Office documents, webbased presentations PDF documents, LaTeX documents, and many other output formats (see PanDoc Try ...)
• Wikiversity Video Upload including WEBM conversion (see Help:Converting Videos)
• Commonist Video Uploader to Wikimedia Commons - an open source upload load tool for media to WikiMedia Commons written in Java.
• Syntax Correction after G00GLE-Translation - translation corrupts Wiki syntax by injection of unnecessary blanks. This tool correct this Media Wiki parsing errors especially for mathematical formulas.
• Wiki2Reveal Create RevealJS presenation on-the-fly from Wikiversity articles. Maintaining the presentation is done just by editing the the source page in Wikiversity. Pilot was performed in a german Mathematics lecture, Presentations are create in conjunction with Wikipedia2Wikiversity to create a raw version for the lecture, that kept the references to the encyclopedic definitions in Wikiversity so that the learner can click on the links even in the presentation and the learner can look up specific definitions in the lectures they my not know in detail. Wiki2Reveal is an OpenSource tool for Wikiversity learning resources deployed on GitHub. It is designed as an AppLSAC so that you can [download the tool an run that on the client

Shell Commands

WEBM Video - final size 22MB

Convert a mp4-Video with audio into a webm that can:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec vp9 -acodec libopus output.webm

or without conversion of audio stream

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec vp9 output.webm

Code Compression example for PanDocElectron

• Recorded Screencast with OBS in mov-Format (size 198MB)
• Converted MOV into MPEG4 with HandBrake (size 25MB)
• Converted MPEG4 into WEBM format with ffmpeg (size 21MB)

File size matters to reduce network traffic costs for the WikiFoundation. Encourage students to minimize Video for learning resources in seminars, even if they comment that transcoding with ffmpeg takes very long.

Quiz Examples in Wikiversity

• Sun Aurora Quiz

PanDoc Presentations

• Open Educational Resources and Wikiversity - From Scientific Results to tailored Educational Support

Selected Contributions

• Started the Expert Focus Group for Space and Global Health in Wikiversity as part of the Community of Practice
• Water - Assigned to Sustainable Development Goals and showed application of topic for different target groups of learners. 

Analysis of Community Feedback

• 2017
• 2021

Resources

• WikiBooks - Tests and Releases

Used Tools

• Special:Import - fork wikipdia resources and create a learning resources.
  • This avoids typsetting of mathematical formulas over and over again.
  • the previous history of the imported document will be accessible.
  • Remark: Import is not possible for all users. The community must decide how and if forking of Open Educational Resources should or will be supported in general. The primary driver for forking is the provision of tailored educational resources for the requirements and constraints of the target group of learners or institutional requirements that determine the adaption of learning resources.
• Syntax Highlight are useful to provide a way to implement a mathematical algorithm e.g. in a specific language. The syntax highlight helps the learner to understand the structure of the code and do their own coding experiments e.g. in Octace, Python, Maxima or perform a learning task based on the documented code.
