I am trying to use wikiversity as a collaborative note taking tool/assignment for the students of a managerial economics course I will be teaching in a couple of weeks. I hope it will work :D --De economist (discuss • contribs) 02:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)


 * It actually can work very well. I have my students do this. See Applied Programming for an example of what is possible. I created the outline, objectives, examples, and activities. My students added all of the notes.
 * My only recommendation at this point would be to provide more of a template for their note pages. At a minimum, I would include separate sections for Summary and Key Terms. You might also include a section for links to Assessments. Students might want to use Quizlet or another resource to create formative (practice) assessments for themselves.
 * The other option is to start the first week of class by asking them what they would expect to see in a study guide, and then have them create those sections.
 * Good luck, and let me know whenever you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 16:36, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I noticed some of your students are getting caught by our spam filter(s). Please encourage students to create an account and log in. If they log in, there are ways we can try to help them by setting their accounts to be confirmed, etc. If they edit by anonymous IP address, they will always be untrusted.

-- Blocked user -- Thanks Dave. Indeed one of my students told me he is having problems: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Nichlawyk Can you please look to see if his account can be confirmed?


 * I did what I could. Encourage the student to take smaller bites. Try adding just a paragraph at a time until he builds up a trusted edit count. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 21:16, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
