Otherwise "education" becomes simply filling a data storage unit with data, without understanding how to *create* the data (and understanding its limitations). Skilled teachers will lead their students through this process, not just expect them to be baby birds, mouths open to be filled with the wisdom of the teacher.
This is something that we talk a lot about on Yet One Other Website (peeragogy.org).
I am sincerely interested to think about how wikiversity does or does not fit together with other efforts. It certainly can't be insular…
In the article "Learning in and with an open wiki project: Wikiversity's potential in global capacity building" (http://firstmonday.org/article/view/2252/2093) there are some recommendations for the Wikiversity (http://firstmonday.org/article/view/2252/2093#p6), to make it more "peeragogy" than it use to be in 1998 (when the article was written). Now it looks that the MOOC-sites are building on these principles when the Wikiversity will slowly vanishing. A sad part in here is that the MOOC-sites are not fee or open.
