Wikiversity user Miz.mira raised concerns about contributing his/her work to Wikiversity as part of the Motivation and emotion book learning and assessment exercise after completing the unit by blanking the Motivation and emotion/Book/Shopaholic page. This blanking of the page content was reverted by User:Jtneill (unit convener and Wikiversity custodian) on the grounds that it was a collaboratively-developed resource. Nomination for page deletion was suggested and used as a way to discuss possible deletion of the content with the Wikiversity community, as per the site's Deletion guidelines.
 * Book chapter exercise

The main issue raised in discussions has been about university student contribution of content under Creative Commons Share-alike and GFDL licensing as part of an assessment exercise towards a university degree.

Currently, the page deletion nomination is unresolved.

Possible directions:
 * 1) In future, draw attention more explicitly to the licensing conditions for contributions to Wikiversity in the unit outline, including explanation that revocation of licensing it not permitted. See also Creative Commons FAQ: "What if I change my mind?"
 * 2) In future, draw attention more explicitly to the collaborative nature of the book chapter exercise in the unit outline
 * 3) In future, draw attention more explicitly to what actions should be taken by students if they do not wish to contribute content to Wikiversity in the unit outline
 * 4) Discuss the issue of student assignment contributions at a Wikipedia Education Program Metrics and Activities Meeting
