I'm looking for recommendations of good examples of active instruction being conducted online at Wikiversity. So far I've found just one (on Hitler's Germany). I'd like more, especially those demonstrating different styles of instruction in a variety of disciplines. It's my intention to use these to form an introductory overview for newcomers.
Movie making seems to be getting active: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Mad_Max%27s_-_Computer_Set_Up_for_Film_Scorin...
Intro to Java had a burst of activity but has slowed at the moment.
I think what you are looking for is provided. The activity, or action, is best traced by the recent changes navigation log on left of your screen. Also you can see where your online friends or interesting people are putting their efforts and get a feel for where things of interest not on your watchlist might merit quick inspection.
However several people try to maintain lists of active and pending "Learning Portals or Projects so these two links might work:
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Learning_project http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Learning_Projects
You might also recommend to newbies they consider participating at the colloquium and here at the mailing list. They should quickly get feel for peoples interest and know whose talk page to check or whose handle to follow in the recent changes log.
Hope this was helpful.
