> Joe, it sounds like a cool idea. Feel free to be bold and work on it. Definitely. I think that at this point "coalition building" is a reasonable objective. We have tons of *ideas*, but I think implementation is going to take somewhat broad-based support. I've been talking to the Teaching Open Source folks (http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Main_Page) and they like the idea.
> Who would be the college for the for-credit class? We're definitely still in "looking around" mode. As I mentioned, I'm at The Open University, UK, and I brought the idea up with some of the maths people here. But that was just yesterday and now I'm waiting to hear back. A more conventional college that nevertheless likes experimental/innovative courses might be a better bet. (Ideas welcome. CS or mathematics faculty champions especially welcome :) > The Wikiversity IRC channel is always open, and users are generally in there > to talk further. You can also bring it up on the Colloquium on Wikiversity. I anticipate a lot of large-scale issues around "Wiki versus Noosphere" (Noosphere is PlanetMath's hand-rolled collaboration platform). And in the long-term, I wonder whether the PlanetMath/Noosphere project can get folded into Wikimedia on an organizational level. So... there will be lots of things to talk about. _______________________________________________ Wikiversity-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiversity-l
