They have an idea (they got from the Wikiversity and
some other site)
and they are implementing it better than anyone else. Will this be
sustainable and lasting model of open education online? Not sure - we
will see.
Hi Teemu:
I like P2PU a lot, but one very technical shortcoming in my view is
their wiki (
http://wiki.p2pu.org/w/page/12427308/FrontPage,
http://wiki.p2pu.org/w/changes). There has been considerable talk
about how to replace it, but nothing has happened yet.
I wonder (and this is just as a user of both Wikiversity and P2PU)
whether it would be possible to create a "P2PU" namespace within
Wikiversity, and use that as the P2PU wiki? That would be one way to
synergize the two projects, and it *might* be preferable to do that
than for P2PU to start their own Mediawiki-based wiki elsewhere. What
do you think?
Maybe it would be a lot to handle even in this one case - but it does
at least provide a candidate answer to the question in the subject
line -- namely, what if Wikiversity is about providing wiki support to
OER-related projects and open education communities? I could see that
as something with considerable appeal beyond just P2PU.
