User talk:Ray Calvin Baker/Wikiversity Studies

Welcome to the discussion! It's quite exciting to be on the forefront of a new adventure!

Unfortunately, my time for developing this brand-new school is limited. Please bear with me -- I think the main way that I can constructively proceed is by using the questions I raise or discover, as a call to write a new lesson. And, of necessity, I will have to see what I can do with the new lessons myself, before I can expect anyone else to do well with them. So, I expect to be doing more studying than writing. The central issue here is EFFICIENCY -- I can do better work by finding, and improving access to existing material, than I can do by trying to write all on my ownnew material.

Major Goals for the School of Wikiversity Studies:

Improve the mapping of existing topics, so that new students and new contributors can more quickly find what they are looking for. Ray Calvin Baker (talk) 23:34, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Mapping
One of the activities I have been enjoying is creating functional templates that hopefully help students, educators, and researchers find things. An example is on the School:Economics page at the bottom. While the concept is a Wikipedia knock-off, it works for me. --Marshallsumter (talk) 00:21, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
