Hello friends,
I just wrote to the
en.wikiversity.org Colloquium a note about
"redesigning" the front page. I'll rpost it to this list, too. Maybe
we can have more cross-Wikiversity discussion in here - I hope. Here:
== (re)designing the en.wikiversity front page ? ==
Hello all,
I know that this may sound like a stupid "complaining" and it is
possible that the right reply would be "do it yourself", but I will
"complain" anyway. Peace. :-)
I think there is a need to redesign the
en.wikiversity.org front page
to raise awareness of the project and to get more users involved it.
It could be useful to check the way some other sites with the same
objectives have organized their stuff. Here are some links:
http://wikieducator.org/Main_Page
http://www.p2pu.org/
I also think that the Finnish Wikiversity design, even though it is
very minimalistic, is much better than the
en.wikiversity.org (I am
involved in the
fi.wikiversity.org). I think it is better, because a
new visitor of the site will in two seconds get the idea what is the
site about. In the front page of the
fi.wikiversity.org it states:
"Welcome to the Wikiversity, an open and free online learning community!
What is Wikiversity?
Wikiversity is an online community and learning environment. In
Wikiversity you can learn almost anything. Learning opportunities are
provided to each other by the community members. If your area of
interest to study does not yet exist in Wikiversity course offerings,
you can start it by creating out of your theme an online class,
reading or study circle, web conference or self-study course."
I believe that if the
en.wikiversity.org front page is clear an nice
the Wikiversity’s in other languages will follow and the community
will grow.
