This project is intended to become a piece of [[Wikipedia:Participatory action research\|Participatory action research]] (PAR), a form of [[Action research\|action research]]. PAR is a process that occurs when the actions a group take to empower themselves through creating, modifying or developing a social practice are informed by critical reflection - a process which then prompts further development of the social practice.

	PAR comprises four elements; participation, social practice (action), critical reflection and empowerment. PAR is an approach to developing or changing social practices. Social practice can be defined as recurring activities involving people working together. In a learning context, this includes practices ranging from reading (the interaction of reader and author), self study or creating a study guide to implementing national and international educational policies. These practices include learning in groups, workplace learning, curriculum development and learning within an educational institution. However not all social practices are appropriate as the subject of PAR. This is because all the people involved in PAR should be participants. To be a participant in PAR means taking part in the planning and decision-making process as well as specific tasks.

	*I agree with you, Mystictim, that one of the central things we need to do in Wikiversity is to explore and identify ''how learning is to be provided for in Wikiversity'' (as distinct from providing educational material which can be used for autonomous self-study). I think it is a potentially very powerful learning project to carry out within a framework of (participatory) action research - as this is also the focus of my own research (see my [http://cormaggio.org blog] and [http://www.cormaggio.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Cormac wiki]). I think I have something to contribute here, but I also have a lot to learn - hopefully we will explore, reflexively, what it means to participate in this space and what our reflections tell us about the nature of this space and what can become of it. This whole project (ie Wikiversity) is a deeply exciting one, and this ''particular'' learning project/community has the potential to become a microcosm of the whole, and a resource for all.
