Learning Projects
Basics of Filmmaking is an excellent example of a well fleshed out program of study.
 * There's a clear link to the course organizer with an invitation to make contact
 * Computer requirements are clearly spelled out
 * What's being offered is clearly described
 * The benefits of taking the course are explained
 * The target student is clearly defined (in this case high school students planning to go to film school).
 * Participation can begin anytime.

One of the characteristics of Wikiversity is students discover a course at any time. It's therefore difficult to bring along a consistent cohort of learners. This issue needs to be discussed more broadly.

Here's the course description:

Basics of Filmmaking

 * WikiU Film School is a course in Narrative Film Production of 30 lessons (under construction) which shows you the making of a tiny motion picture. With each lesson, you can participate in the making of the movie.


 * This course is designed for high school students who plan to go to film school. If you plan to ask your parents for $100,000 US for a four year film school, perhaps you should first show them your skill at making a short movie.


 * For other film courses see Narrative Film Production.

 * cisLunarFreighter -- A community project of the learning trail A Hands-On Introduction to Game Design and Production Processes which uses primarily open source software tools to create free licensed materials to be published at Wikiversity and other free online archives. Participants also work on other projects.  All are welcome to come help learn and document techniques to accomplish the production tasks need for high quality (fun and educational) games.
