The meaning of the symbols in the table edit

  1. User Links to user page in Wikiversity. If the username is long, there is an option for a nickname that will make it possible to include several projects on a single spreadsheet.
  2. cont. Links to Wikiversity talk (T) and then to user contributions on Wikiversity, and some of its sisters. Sister talk pages are available from the user's contributions page for each sister.
  3. log.S is two links: log is to a journal that the instructor uses to prepare the course. .S is a link to a subpage of that log where the students will document their efforts in this project. This is how students will be assessed grades for the course. Instructions for this documentation will be given in class.
  4. I-S, II-S, III-S, ... Each subsequent column represents a link. There is the option of placing a student-subpage to a resource by clicking S. Instructors should be cautioned not to overuse this feature as it will create pages that need to be cleaned up. But the option serves the purpose of permitting parallel efforts.


For instructors wishing to adopt this format edit

  • This version does not require use of Matlab, and requires only a spreadsheet that can alphabetize the username templates. The so-called "dashboard" used previously consisted of a sortable table and has been depreciated.
  • The goal of this project is to simultaneously teach writing skills and improve the quality of Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and Wikiversity. The project is still in its beta stage.
  • Contributions to Wikiversity made at Lake Campus through Wikiversity
