Applied Academics feedback
I took a quick look at "Teaching with Applied Academics". I wonder if you have any feedback from people at Wikibooks. I like the way the book and the course are linked together. I want to do something similar with Consciousness Studies, but I'm not sure that what I want to do (such as make links from Wikibooks to Wikiversity) will be welcomed at Wikibooks. --JWSchmidt 01:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It's interesting, and I also very much like the linking of Wikibooks and Wikiversity (which I think should be done much more comprehensively). However, I'm wondering about whether it should be on Wikibooks in the first place - is it in its "finished" form (ie scope) at the moment in Wikibooks? If so, then it seems like it would fit with the "smaller chunks" scope of Wikiversity... (Also, as with linking to Wikipedia, using the "b" prefix makes links to Wikibooks, ie Teaching with Applied Academics - see Help:Interwiki linking.) Cormaggio talk 09:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That is a good question about where it belongs. I'm not sure if I have the proper mental model.  I assumed the seperation between Wikibooks and Wikiversity is that Wikibooks is for learning material in a textbook form, and wikiversity is for other learning materials, research, and other educational information.  Although short, the "Teaching with Applied Academics" is a textbook, or possibly a chapter from a more comprehensive textbook. --Jacob Walker 17:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)  P.S. - Thanks for that linking help topic, I knew there must be a way of doing it, but didn't know how!  I'll fix my links.

Linking to Wikipedia
Hi there! Nice article at Systems And Tools Educational Philosophy. I thought I might drop by and let you know that you can link to Wikipedia by adding w: in front of the article. For example, Education would point to Education...I thought it might be easier to do than say, cutting-and-pasting links! --HappyCamper 05:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank You Very Much! I knew there must be an easier way to link to Wikipedia Articles! --Jacob Walker 20:16, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi Jacob - great to have you around! From the looks of your userpage already, it seems you'll have plenty to contribute to this project. So, welcome to Wikiversity! Maybe you'll even find a "more involved wit" ;-) Cormaggio talk 16:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, Thanks. Sometimes my wit is actually better than my typos, but that was pretty funny.. ;-)  I have finished my thought a little more there now.  BTW, I saw that you are working on some of the guidelines for research projects, I am working on an article that is both information for instructors, and a collaborative creation, which could be classified as research.  It is under Systems And Tools Educational Philosophy and I would be very interested in your feedback, both on the topic itself, and how you think it fits within the name spaces, and hierarchy of Wikiversity.  Thanks! --Jacob Walker 00:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Neat wiki you got...
Hello, I like your Wiki. I wonder. What makes you say this? That is, how is your intent "...started to potentially grow beyond the policies of the site, or have other potential future issues"? Hope to see you around. --Remi 09:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Help with a new initiative?
I have proposed an idea for a new way of creating technical learning content: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Improving_Technical_Topics_At_Wikiversity

Would you be interested in helping with something like this? Once I get a representative from each discipline I have listed, I would like to hold a brainstorming session. Please let me know what you think! Daviddoria 14:03, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

SchoolsONE
The idea of hosting open courses and educational resources on Wikiversity is wonderful, and fully supported by the Mission. Many schools use Wikiversity to host their open courses and resources. However, Wikiversity may not be used as a source of profit, and it may not be used to host a website for a separate, trademarked organization. Please focus your contributions on SchoolsONE courses and resources rather than the SchoolsONE organization. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 21:07, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your note here, I apologize that I didn't see it at first. The reason I wrote about the business structure of SchoolsONE, is because I was trying to follow the Terms of Service about transparency when it comes to whether content creators are potentially being paid. SchoolsONE has its own website (albeit not very complete at the moment), so my goal was to host the educational resources of the school, and they are all being licensed under the terms of Creative Commons. If you could point me in the direction of where in the Terms of Service there is a delineation about what is allowed and what isn't when it comes to this, I'd be truly grateful. But please don't delete the page outright. Jacob J. Walker (discuss • contribs) 02:34, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
