21-469: One element of Wikiversity is a set of WikiJournals which publish peer-reviewed articles in a stable, indexed , and citable format comparable with academic journals . These can be copied to Misplaced Pages, and are sometimes based on Misplaced Pages articles. As of November 2024, there are Wikiversity sites active for 17 languages comprising a total of 157,945 articles and 889 recently active editors. Wikiversity's data phase officially began on August 15, 2006, with

42-859: A complete list with totals see Wikimedia Statistics: PCWorld reported the Wikiversity project in 2007, when the most popular course was on film-making. It compared the project to Massachusetts Institute of Technology 's " MIT OpenCourseWare ", noting however that while free, MIT's offering was "not free enough for Wikiversity". In their 2008 book on Empowering Online Learning , Curtis Bonk and Ke Zhang noted that if "the Wikimedia Foundation can nurture credible resources and communities within Wikiversity, it will send serious shock waves throughout higher education ." Steven Hoffman, in his 2010 book on teaching humanities, wrote that Wikiversity could do for higher education what Misplaced Pages had done "for

63-623: A specific language group decides upon no research. It is expected that researchers will respect and update guidelines for appropriate research through a community consensus process. Currently the English Wikiversity hosts more than 376 research pages. As of November 2024, there are wikiversity sites for 17 languages of which 17 are active and 0 are closed. The active sites have 157,945 articles, There are 3,391,550 registered users of which 889 are recently active. The top ten Wikiversity language projects by mainspace article count: For

84-600: A web of resources that form the basis of discussions and activities at Wikiversity. Learning resources can be used by educators outside of Wikiversity for their own purposes, under the terms of the GFDL and a Creative Commons license (like Misplaced Pages ). Wikiversity "administrators" are metaphorically referred to as "custodians". Wikiversity also allows original research (in contrast to Misplaced Pages which does not). Such research content may lack any peer review . Several WikiJournal s operate with an academic journal format on

105-468: Is "set learning free", indicating that groups/communities of Wikiversity participants will engage in learning projects. Learning is facilitated through collaboration on projects that are detailed, outlined, summarized or results reported by editing Wikiversity pages. Wikiversity learning projects include collections of wiki webpages concerned with the exploration of a particular topic. Wikiversity participants are encouraged to express their learning goals, and

126-564: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Bibliographic index A bibliographic index is a bibliography intended to help find a publication. Citations are usually listed by author and subject in separate sections, or in a single alphabetical sequence under a system of authorized headings collectively known as controlled vocabulary , developed over time by the indexing service. Indexes of this kind are issued in print periodical form (issued in monthly or quarterly paperback supplements, cumulated annually), online, or both. Since

147-450: Is a center for the creation of and use of free learning materials, and the provision of learning activities . Wikiversity is one of many wikis used in educational contexts, as well as many initiatives that are creating free and open educational resources . The primary priorities and goals for Wikiversity are to: The Wikiversity e-Learning model places emphasis on "learning groups" and "learning by doing" . Wikiversity's motto and slogan

168-572: Is constantly changing in search of accuracy, accompanied in this by Wikiversity, its "lesser-known sister site". J. Rapp et al., writing in 2019, commented that Wikiversity allowed readers to become active contributors; writing materials "can be regarded as a learning task for advanced Wikiversity authors in general." They noted that the Wikijournals differed from conventional journals in being transparent about reviewers' backgrounds, possibly facilitating interdisciplinary discussion, and in revealing

189-686: The English language Wikiversity . The idea of Wikiversity began with the initial development of the Wikiversity community within the Wikibooks project. However, when it was nominated for deletion from Wikibooks, soon there was a proposal to make Wikiversity an independent Wikimedia project, with the fundamental goal to broaden the scope of activities within the Wikimedia community to include additional types of learning resources in addition to textbooks. Two proposals were made. The first project proposal

210-429: The legality of cannabis , to create an overview. For fairness, users are encouraged to add arguments of their opposing view too. There are currently seventeen different Wikiversities: Arabic, Chinese, Czech, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Slovene, Spanish, and Swedish (locked since 17 June 2021); Wikiversity projects in other languages are being developed at

231-537: The "beta" multilingual hub. For newly established specific language Wikiversities to move out of the initial exploratory "beta" phase, the new Wikiversity community must establish policies governing research activities. Wikiversity may act as a repository of research carried out by the Wikimedia Research Network , or others who are involved in wiki-based, or other research. Wikiversity hosts original research in addition to secondary research, unless

"From many points of view an index is synonymous with a catalogue, the principles of analysis used being identical, but whereas an index entry merely locates a subject, a catalogue entry includes descriptive specification of a document concerned with

294-507: The Wikiversity community collaborates to develop learning activities and projects to accommodate those goals. The Wikiversity e-Learning activities give learners the opportunity to build knowledge. Students have to be language-aware in order to be able to correct their classmates. By doing this, students develop their reflection skills. Secondly, they enable students to be autonomous deciding what to write or edit, also when and how to do it. Students are able to free resort to any mean of support. At

315-1197: The Wikiversity website (under the WikiJournal User Group). Submitted articles are subjected to peer review by external experts before publication of an indexed , citable , stable version in the journal, and an editable version in Misplaced Pages. They are wholly free, offering open access to readers and charging no publication fee to authors ( diamond open access ). Some articles are written from scratch, and others are adapted from Misplaced Pages articles. They therefore aim to encourage experts to contribute content creation and improvement (as authors and peer reviewers), and provide an additional quality control mechanism for existing Misplaced Pages content. This activity started with WikiJournal of Medicine in 2014. The sister journals WikiJournal of Science and WikiJournal of Humanities both began publishing in 2018. The WikiJournal User Group received an open publishing award in November 2019. WikiDebates on Wikiversity allow compiling arguments of both sides on controversial topics such as

336-614: The same time, it fosters cognitive development , engaging students to collaborate. Learning resources are developed by an individual or groups, either on their own initiative, or as part of a learning project. Wikiversity resources include teaching aids, lesson plans, curricula, links to off-site resources, course notes, example and problem sets, computer simulations, reading lists, and other as devised by participants – but do not include final polished textbooks. Texts useful to others are hosted at Wikibooks for update and maintenance. Learning groups with interests in each subject area create

357-572: The stages in the development of an article (by versioning). Bibliographic index A bibliographic index is a bibliography intended to help find a publication. Citations are usually listed by author and subject in separate sections, or in a single alphabetical sequence under a system of authorized headings collectively known as controlled vocabulary , developed over time by the indexing service. Indexes of this kind are issued in print periodical form (issued in monthly or quarterly paperback supplements, cumulated annually), online, or both. Since

378-418: The subject". The index may help search the literature of, for example, an academic field or discipline (example: Philosopher's Index ), to works of a specific literary form ( Biography Index ) or published in a specific format ( Newspaper Abstracts ), or to the analyzed contents of a serial publication ( New York Times Index ). This article relating to library science or information science

This article relating to library science or information science

420-478: The traditional encyclopedia". Hoffman noted that Wikiversity courses could look much like traditional online university courses, except that they were open in every sense. He did not expect Wikiversity to replace traditional universities, but could supplement them for "retiring baby boomers " spending time and energy on "education as leisure". The Association for Psychological Science noted in 2018 that Misplaced Pages, often "Internet users' first source of information",

441-452: Was not approved (2005) and the second, modified proposal, was approved (2006). The launch of Wikiversity was announced at Wikimania 2006 as an idea to: host learning communities, so people who are actually trying to learn, actually have a place to come and interact and help each other figure out how to learn things. We're also going to be hosting and fostering research into how these kinds of things can be used more effectively. Wikiversity
