Hi friends, the University of Munich (LMU), department for the didactics of physics, plans to get their materials for primary education on-line on WE. According to their own estimations, the size is about 1000 pages. The project is called SUPRA, and contains lesson plans and handouts (immediately usable material for print or download) as well as didactic background information and the results of research surveys. Prof. Wiesner, the head of the department, calls it “unique in the world”.
http://www.edu.uni-muenchen.de/supra/ My personal opinion is, to get this content on WE could be of help to millions of schools, as even in German teacher education, primary physics is often weak. The “only” problem for them is the translation into English and the conversion to wiki syntax. The department itself does not have any resources available for this purpose, cost are estimated to about 25.000 Euro. I guess this case is not the only one of this type. Good teaching materials, ready for use, the authors willing to release it under CC- license, but need for translation and conversion, and no funds :-( . BTW: I myself do not yet know how I should get my Mechanics11 translated properly :-( :-( . Any proposals?
