83.27.28.224: /* Institutions */ Added opencoursware from mit.edu as potential colaborator

If you know of any institutions that you think would be interested in collaborating with Wikiversity, please list them here. Please try to be specific about what kinds of collaboration you think might be possible. For example, you might know of specific kinds of activities they do that Wikiversity could help with and vice versa. Wikiversity content should be useful to most all institutions, so please keep this page to ideas on or information about mutually beneficial collaborations.

==Workspaces==
Some groups have created workspaces within Wikiversity to facilitate learning, and also so that they could link to Wikiversity learning projects, thereby using resources in a more direct way. Some examples include, [[SchoolForge]] and [[UNIT-E]]. If your group would like a workspace at Wikiversity, please feel free to create a page in the main namespace using your organization's name as the page title. For the sake of keeping Wikiversity somewhat organized, it would be appreciated if you would add [[:Category:Workspaces]] at the bottom and other appropriate [[:Category:categories|categories]] at the bottom and include links on your page to relevant [[Wikiversity:Browse|Schools, Divisions and Departments]].

== Meta Collab at Wikia ==
[http://collaboration.wikia.com Meta Collab] at [[Wikipedia:Wikia|Wikia]] now has a Wikiversity '''[[Wikia:Collaboration:Wikiversity|article]]''', [[Wikia:Collaboration:Talk:Wikiversity|discussion area]] and [[Wikia:Collaboration:Current events#Wikiversity_update|Wikiversity update]] section. A local Wikiversity article, [[Wikia]], in the main namespace includes an opt-in listing for Wikiversity projects that would like to be represented at their appropriate spots within the Wikia metacommunity. Please provide constructive feedback on the talk page here or at [[Talk:Wikia]]. Thanks in advance.
