A Guide to Wikiversity Content This page aims to be the most complete and comprehensive guide to Wikiversity content that is possible, except when we are trying to hide the many parts of our website where content is under development and we are trying to hide the fact that new editors often are confused and do not know how to create featured content in their first edit. So be warned, this page shows you a very biased window on Wikiversity. The lists here are mainly populated dynamically (automatically). You are offered multiple alternative exploration routes. The reason for multiple paths is that Wikiversity users are so diverse in their roles and so specific in their needs that no one exploration path would be adequate. You can find the older version of this page here. Major starting points - click here to browse all Portals Pre-school Education · Primary Education ·Secondary Education · Tertiary Education · Non-formal Education · Research Content by school subject Art · Biology · Chemistry · English · Foreign Languages · Geography · History · Information technology · Mathematics · Music · Physics · Physical education · Other school subjects Content by faculty Applied sciences · Arts · Educational sciences · Engineering and Technology · Humanities · Information sciences · Interdisciplinary studies · Life sciences · Mathematics ·Physical sciences · Professional and vocational studies · Social sciences · Wikimedia studies · Faculty of Law
By Educational Level You can browse Wikiversity by educational level. There is also a guided tour to these portals. {{#categorytree:Resources by level|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}} By Resource Type You can browse Wikiversity by resource type. This route is rather rough and ready for the time being, as people's consistency and willingness to categorise their resources by type has been somewhat lacking. It is hoped that by spotlighting the "by resource type" exploration path, people will slowly improve the tagging of resources by resource type. {{#categorytree:Resources by type|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}} By Department You can browse Wikiversity by department. Historically Wikiversity had something called "departments" which were put into the "Topic" namespace, and you can browse through them here. {{#categorytree:Departments|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}}	By School Subject You can browse Wikiversity by school subject. The school subject portals aim to give a more friendly and useful access route for users interested in pre-tertiary (pre-school, primary and secondary) education. In Wikiversity's early days, departments established themselves in a university-orientated fashion, perhaps choking out other initiatives. The school subject portals aim to offer users an alternative route to resources in their subject area which is free of the extreme specialisation which occurs at tertiary level and which is friendly and comprehensible to schoolchildren. {{#categorytree:School subjects|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}} By Learning Project During the course of its history, Wikiversity was instructed to organize itself more closely around "learning projects", so a structure appeared which offers an alternative way to explore content. {{#categorytree:Learning projects|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}}	By University Faculty You can browse Wikiversity by "faculty", where "faculty" is understood in the international (non-US American) sense of a major division of a university. Wikiversity is not a real university, but you can explore Wikiversity using the metaphor of a university. If you prefer the word "school" to "faculty", please skip to the box below. {{#categorytree:University faculties|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}} By University School You can browse Wikiversity by "school", where "school" is understood in the US American sense of a major division of a university. Wikiversity is not a real university, but you can explore Wikiversity using the mataphor of a university. If you prefer the word "faculty" to "school", please skip to the box above. {{#categorytree:Schools|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}}	By user type You can browse Wikiversity by user type. There are only a few of these, and the user type portals offer access routes based around the role you wish to play at Wikiversity. {{#categorytree:Paths by user type|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}} By completion status You can browse Wikiversity by the completion status of resources, which can help you find complete resources reading for using, or freshly started ones which you can help develop. Work also needs to be done on categorising resources by completion status, which is why some of the categories here are rather empty. {{#categorytree:Resources by completion status|mode=all|depth=1|hideroot}}
