Hi all,
It's been very quiet on the list lately. I would like to see ideas and opinions on how people see the future of the Wikiversity. Here are two starting points for the discussion.
- Example of using wiki in a university course
David Wiley from the Utah State University is teaching "Introduction to Open Education" class with wiki and blogs. It is an open class for anyone to join. I would love to see similar kind of classes in the Wikiversity. Have a look of the class page at:

- Wikiversity: Free education and free school?
I am working on an article that is proposing for the Wikiversity community that we could learn from free and liberal education when thinking about the practices of the Wikiversity. Your comments and ideas on it would be very useful. The article is here:

Thanks very much Teemu. I'm signing up for David Wiley's course as we speak (thanks for the reminder!). In an extension of your paper, I think we should set up a specific learning project about the Free/alternative school initiatives we could explore. What should we call this? [[Free school project]]?
Cheers,
Cormac
