RecoveredNS112:Outreach

If you know of any academic (or other) institutions that you think might 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 (ie specific kinds of activities they do that we could help with, and vice versa). Obviously, Wikiversity content should be useful to any academic institution (and many other types of institutions too), so please keep this page to ideas on or information about mutually beneficial collaborations.

Meta Collab at Wikia

Meta Collab at Wikia now has a Wikiversity article, discussion area and 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.

Ideas

• Global Text Project - "The goal is to create a free library of 1,000 electronic textbooks for students in the developing world." The Global Text Project is managed by the Center for Information Systems Leadership, Terry College of Business, The University of Georgia. See also: Wikiversity and Wikibooks services.

• [1]- the psychology wikia group was interested in collaboration.

• Wikimedia Youth Camp - suggested by Erik Moeller.

• California Open Source Textbook Project [2]

• WikiEducator - WikiEducator is an evolving community intended for the collaborative planning of education projects linked with the development of free content.

• Curriki

• Qedoc - Qedoc specialises in creating highly interactive learning activities and does so on a primarily charitable basis for the open educational resources community. Our software is not yet appropriate for creating interactive learning activities for MediaWiki-driven sites like Wikiversity. However Qedoc is interested in developing such a technology. A discussion page for the proposal has been started here (page could be transferred to Wikiversity if this is adopted as a project). Wikiversity people are requested to express views and help steer planning.

Workspaces

Some groups have created "workspaces" within Wikiversity to better facilitate linking to Wikiversity learning projects and using resources in a more direct way. Some examples are WikiCast, SchoolForge and UNIT-E. If your group needs an "outpost" at Wikiversity, feel free to create a page in the main namespace using your organization's name as the page title. Please add Category:Workspaces at the bottom and other appropriate categories at the bottom and include links on your page to relevant Schools, Divisions and Departments.
