Even if it were to concede that as a good thing,
who would accept the
responsibility of all the administrivia that it involves? I doubt
that
it would be an enlightening use of volunteer time. If we pay
someone to
do this the entire character of the project would change.
I do not see here any extra administrative work involved. You simply
write the courses you have took in the Wikiversity in your user page
with links to the course pages. You just build your own "Wikiversity
study record" on your own user page. All based on trust and
transparency. Shit will happen but I am pretty sure that the benefits
of openness are greater than if having some "reliable record keeping
body" working on this.
I'm glad to see that we don't disagree on more than this. I think we
are a long way from the trust and transparency that you envision. While
having a detailed and transparent record on the Wikiversity site fits in
with how wiki things are generally done, personnel departments are not
likely to want to go through the work of examining detailed course
work. It's so much easier to have all one's questions answered by
glancing at a single page transcriot of school marks. If it also has
the school's fancy official seal embossed on that paper, why would they
want to look further. Bureaucrats bust trust other bureaucrats.
