Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

These are not the real, final videos - just use them for your imagination what it could look like:

Now the details

edit

Partially developed:

  • /Tasks
  • /Script - participants create the script for the movie
  • /Interviews - participants film interviews with students at real universities after telling them about Wikiversity (giving a handout perhaps) and inform them it is free. Shock, disbelief, scepticism will ensue, but the reactions ought to be interesting. These could be made over time until the interviewees are all from Wikipedia and/or a mix or "bricks (and mortar)" students (we could just call them "bricks" for short).
  • /music - participants help make the sound track, including original music
  • /multi-lingual - participants make the voice track and any text elements for all the Wikiversity project languages.
  • ..

Searching for initiator:


Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!
