==[[Portal:Learning Materials|Learning materials]] and [[Portal:Learning Projects|learning projects]]==
Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

===Appetizer===
These are not the real, final videos - just use them for your imagination what it could look like:
*[[Wikiversity shorts]] - participants create short (15 to 60 seconds) promotional videos for Wikiversity
* [[/already existing movies]] about Wikiversity (for reusage or generating ideas ?)

===Now the details===
Partially developed:
*[[/Tasks]]
*[[/Script]] - participants create the [[w:Screenplay|script]] for the movie
*[[/Interviews]] - participants film interviews with students at real universities after telling them about Wikiversity (giving a handout perhaps) and inform them it is free. Shock, disbelief, scepticism will ensue, but the reactions ought to be interesting. These could be made over time until the interviewees are all from Wikipedia and/or a mix or "bricks (and mortar)" students (we could just call them "bricks" for short). 
*[[/music]] - participants help make the sound track, including original music
*[[/multi-lingual]] - participants make the voice track and any text elements for all the [http://beta.wikiversity.org Wikiversity project languages].
* .. 

Searching for initiator:
*[[/Movie production]]
*[[Machinima movies]] - tutorial - participants make a movie using [[w:Machinima|Machinima]]


Learning materials and [[Portal:Learning Projects|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 [[Wikiversity:Namespaces|main namespace]]) and start writing!

*[[User:MusicWeaver|MusicWeaver]]. I may be available to help with the soundtrack and sound effects. I am a pianist/composer with a bachelor's in music and have produced several CD's of original music. I have all the resources to produce professional-sounding music and sound effects in common audio formats (MP3, .wav, etc.) synchronized with the video. I have a small recording studio at home, plus programs like Finale, MusicTime, Reason, Studio 8, and CoolEdit Pro. I have some experience with video editing, but audio is my area of expertise.
