User talk:Bert Niehaus

 Hello and Welcome to Wikiversity Bert Niehaus! You can contact us with questions at the colloquium or me personally when you need help. Please remember to sign and date your finished comments when participating in discussions. The signature icon above the edit window makes it simple.

To get started, you may


 * Take a guided tour and learn to edit.
 * Visit a (kind of) random project.
 * Browse Wikiversity, or visit a portal corresponding to your educational level: pre-school, primary, secondary, tertiary, non-formal education.
 * Find out about research activities on Wikiversity.
 * Explore Wikiversity with the links to your left.


 * Read an introduction for teachers and find out how to write an educational resource for Wikiversity.
 * Give feedback about your initial observations
 * Discuss Wikiversity issues or ask questions at the colloquium.
 * Chat with other Wikiversitans on #wikiversity-en.

You do not need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 15:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Subpages and Links
Learning projects are best organized with subpages (like Wikibooks) rather than as individual pages (like Wikipedia). I've moved the E-Proof Future Development page to E-Proof/Future Development and Feature Discussion.

When linking to Wikiversity pages, use internal links with Title or Display syntax. When linking to subpages, use /Subpage/ syntax. See Making links for more information.

Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 17:26, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Dave for your support

Risk Management
Hi Bert Niehaus!

Your resource Risk Management appears to be ready for learners! Would you like it announced on our Main Page News? --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 13:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for announcement offer, Excuse me for late reply. --Bert Niehaus (discuss • contribs) 14:45, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Trust
I see you have recently added both Trust in Data, Information and Knowledge and Trust in Capacity Building Material. Are you ultimately building a learning project on Trust that these and any additional pages belong to, or are they part of Risk Management?

We try to organize Wikiversity content by learning project rather than just learning resource. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 18:26, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

(1) First I though I just plan a trust learning resource for risk management, but then I looked on my lecture about encryption, digital signature and number theory it makes sense to me to broaden the mathematical perspective on encryption to application and trust. On the other hand from trust it makes sense to learn about digital signature and encryption. So it makes more sense to build a learning resource on trust. Would be great to have some psychologist on board to approach the trust topic from their angle, but who knows collaborative development of content could trigger wonderful things,

Thank you for your support, Dave Bert Niehaus (discuss • contribs) 16:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia Imports
All Wikimedia wikis are licensed using Creative Commons CC-BY-SA licensing. The BY part of that license requires crediting the source whenever licensed content is reused. Within wiki software, the best way to credit the source is by including their edits in the page history. This is done using Special:Import, available to Wikiversity custodians and curators. If you would like to import any additional Wikipedia pages, please either use Import to request page imports or see Curators to request curatorship so you may process your own imports. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:15, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Special:Import shows a 'permission error' for me as an ordinary wiki author --Bert Niehaus (discuss • contribs) 06:40, 13 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Is the curator status the only option as a user to do branching of content development from Wikipedia to Wikiversity?


 * Yes, the only way to import pages from Wikipedia yourself is with curator status. Otherwise, you are welcome to post at Import and one of us can import pages for you. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 19:48, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Forking and Tailor Eductional Resources

 * Forking of Learning Resources and tailor Learning Resources for Target Groups
 * Open Educational Resources/Localization

Teachers Informations: Forking Info for Learner Profile
Sometime a learning topic can be developed for different educational level. Teacher information can be used to fork from a parent module to submodules tailored for the target group. That is my solution to support branching within the existing IT infrastructure.

See Water learning resource. --Bert Niehaus (discuss • contribs) 14:45, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Curator Status
Based on the support expressed at Candidates for Custodianship/Bert Niehaus, you are now a curator. Congratulations!

You should see new tools available under Special:SpecialPages and on the More menu on each page. Use them wisely, and let me know if you have any questions.

Also, please update Support staff and add your information.

Sustainable Development Goals
Hi Bert Niehaus!

Your resource Sustainable Development Goals appears to be well-developed and ready for learners! Would you like to have it announced on our Main Page News? --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 02:47, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

OK thank you, learning tasks are still missing. And I want to insert the SDG logos on pages, but have to read licensing by United Nations before using them in Wikiversity. SDG Logos seem not possible to import from Wikipedia.


 * I've looked at the logos at the Wikipedia Sustainable Development Goals. One is at Commons and the other is fair use which is also allowed here by USA copyright law. You are free to upload them here or use the Commons version, where available. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 14:08, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you --Bert Niehaus (discuss • contribs) 08:49, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

SIR model and COVID
Thank you for the suggestion on my page (COVID-19/Iluvalar), I think you misunderstood the object of that chapter completely. The point is to explain that the first exponential part of the data, can only be the test production curve and have nothing to do with the actual virus. The starting data and the production rate of the virus test had it own value and any contact with the real infection curve of the virus could only be accidental and highly unlikely. For the actual SIR model I used, see the line "model apr 4" and "model apr 7" later on the page, I'll try to add the data for the following month, but I think I was pretty accurate with that. Iluvalar (discuss • contribs) 01:45, 10 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Agree with you, testing is not performed in a randomly selected cohort of citizens and testing is not driven by a controlled study design. Asymptomatic patients are not tested and even symptomatic patients were not tested because staff in health care facilities did not decide to test the patient or decided to test other patients with higher priority first, because of the limited test capacity. Shall we add a specific submodul to specify the limitation of modelling due to the limitation of dada aquisitions. Or do you have other suggestions for learning resource? --Bert Niehaus (discuss • contribs) 12:26, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Your class on Commercial Data Harvesting
Hi :

Since I discovered it I have been following your class on Commercial Data Harvesting with interest. I am fairly new at WV and still have not figured out what users like me who are not lecturers at WV are allowed to do. At Universities that attended in person as a student, free exchange of information was tolerated if not encouraged.

Anyway, what I came here to suggest is that the course assumption that ...users regard themselves as customer of an provider of a free digital service, may have been accurate in the past at some Big tech offerings, in some countries, but it is more questionable if all users of such services have always considered themselves as a customer of a free service.
 * Thank you for your feedback, added a comment according to your feedback for the learning resoruce --Bert Niehaus (discuss • contribs) 11:56, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Take for example the user revolt reffered to in Reddit, hardly the action of individuals gratefull for a free service they are receiving?

I hope I am making sense, contributing positively to WV, and not wasting your time unnecessarily. Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (discuss • contribs) 19:30, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
