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.

Galaxies and the Expanding Universe
Hi! I noticed your recent contributions on Elementary Particles. This is a great lecture series, but I cannot find any evidence that the content has been released with a public license. We can link to this content, but we may not copy it and reuse it. The page has been moved to Galaxies and the Expanding Universe and set up with appropriate links and references. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 15:22, 12 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know Dave, I understand. I'm new to contributing to the various wiki sites, and I guess the way I've been figuring out what's acceptable and what's not is by going forward and experimenting. I thought this lecture would be okay to reproduce since the professor seems to adhere to the concept of open education by making his web lectures available to the public. But I think I get it. Thanks for moving it to the right place and making it a link instead of a wikiversity page. Did you just make Galaxies and the Expanding Universe? What a great resource! -Calebjbaker (discuss • contribs) 06:24, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * It's okay to Be bold! Just learn as you go. Public content is offered either with a restricted license or with an open license. Content with an open license may be reused, as long as the original source is credited. Restricted content may be linked, but not copied. You'll be able to recognize open content, because it will have a Creative Commons license, GNU Free Documentation License, GNU General Public License, or be listed as Public domain. If you don't explicitly see one of those designations, you can only link to the source. But linking to the source is often enough for what we need.
 * Dr. Schombert has five other courses listed on his website. Feel free to create matching courses here for those using links like Galaxies and the Expanding Universe. Per Naming conventions, we don't put course numbers in the title, and generally don't include the academic institution unless that is relevant to the study. Some of these will be easy to create, as there is no corresponding title here. Others will require integration with existing content somehow, such as a primary page and subpages or alternate titles. See Solar System for an example of one way this can be done. Let us know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:02, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
