Hi Oscar,
Think I agree with you on this. I'd suggest use of posters (on campus news boards) to sensitise students on Wikiversity as well as other Wikimedia projects. Articles on uni websites would also be great.
As for the offline Wikipedia for schools, I suggest we first come up with an implementation plan for us to determine its requirements. This we'll be able to identify what we can manage as a team and what we'll need help with say from the Foundation, MoE or any other source. Plus Barry's advice on liasing with local friendly NGOs sounds great, we should look into it.
Hope we can have a draft of this say by next week for us to have another meeting with MoE.
Looking forward to read your thoughts on this.
Cheers Alex

Thats great guys,but perhaps the best way is to sensitise University students about Wikiversity coz they find it out for themselves.Besides the University content is quite broad...just my opinion...

Hi,
I'm Lodewijk (from chapcom and Wikimedia NL) and just reading this list out of interest.
Perhaps you find more interesting material on Wikibooks as well - they contain material that is well suited for offline usage often.

thanks Abbas for digging deep into this. I have explored the site http://en.wikiversity.org and it seems so relevant and informative to universities. That can be good idea. I don't know whether there is an archive for the site, but if there isn't I can still download the entire site using HTTRACK, but we have to see what the take of others in this is. If you give me a go ahead, I can have wikiversity offline by the end of tomorrow. I am waiting to hear from you guys.

Hi,
I've just received intel from a fourth-year medical student at University of Nairobi regarding Wikiversity. She just told me that Wikiversity has lots of stuff in relation to what their Medicine curriculum. So apart from gettng an offline Wikipedia, is it possible for us to get an offline version of Wikiversity too? Seems that it'll be of great help to university students.
