Re: wikieducator. As far as I know, the only for credit courses being run are the teacher training units I set up. Facilitating Online, and Flexible Learning. Credit for these is offered through Otago Polytechnic and its partners. So its a simple matter of using the wiki to show how assessment is handled so that crediting bodies can see the integrity of their award being maintained.

Its early days yet, but I'm working at the uni of Canberra now with jtneill.

My idea is to create assessment schedules that self paced learners can refer to for developing up a "portfolio of evidence" that an institution can quickly and easily assess and award credit for.

All going well, I think this will dramatically reduce the cost of creditation for those able to self pace and direct their own learning, not to mention the flexibility.

Please get in touch if anyone else is thinking along these lines and how also has connections with an institution. An assessment schedule on wv that is recognised by multiple institutions would be particularly impressive.

Joe,

 

I'm definitely interested in keeping options open here. As Cormac has said, this project has the potential to realize some longstanding ideals of Wikiversity. I mentioned the community's reluctance because its something we would have to deal with if we decided to collapse PlanetMath under the Foundation's umbrella, and used Moodle as a example because its one of the biggest free CMSs available. We also will have room on sandbox server for other software, which should allow us to increase functionality.
