In the article "Learning in and with an open wiki project: Wikiversity's potential in global capacity building" (http://firstmonday.org/article/view/2252/2093) there are some recommendations for the Wikiversity (http://firstmonday.org/article/view/2252/2093#p6), to make it more "peeragogy" than it use to be in 1998 (when the article was written). Now it looks that the MOOC-sites are building on these principles when the Wikiversity will slowly vanishing. A sad part in here is that the MOOC-sites are not fee or open. - Teemu -------------------------------------------------- Teemu Leinonen http://teemuleinonen.fi +358 50 351 6796 Media Lab http://mlab.uiah.fi Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture -------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Wikiversity-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiversity-l
