Re: [Wikiversity-l] Where are the courses

I've stumbled on the following text in several places. I believe it to be unfortunate, misleading and disheartening. In my view, it can easily be misinterpreted as anti Learning Project. Here's where I found it most recently: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/School_of_Mathematics:Course_Catalog Question: What's generating this prominent yellow box in so many locations and can it be at least revised? Other views? ============ Where are the courses? There is nothing that prevents Wikiversity participants from creating and attending conventional courses within Wikiversity. However, the wiki user interface is not well-suited for a conventional course format. The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has directed the Wikiversity community away from courses (the Board's comments). Wikiversity participants are encouraged to innovate and create learning experiences that take full advantage of the wiki format of online community interactions. Non-traditional Learning Projects that are oriented towards learning about conventional course subjects are encouraged within Wikiversity. See: Wikiversity:Learning and Portal:Education. ============ Morley Chalmers -- Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be.
