Computer Science coursework
Hi! I like your changes to the Computer Science courses and glad to see someone else is involved. I was wondering what you would like to get out of Wikiversity, and what you intend to contribute. I'd love to discuss your ideas about the School of Computer Science with you.--AFriedman 22:27, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I am curious, what college are you in?

My online lab group is currently just me, and I'm using multiple avatars (who currently do not have separate user accounts) to represent different aspects of my interests. But I do hope to expand. I'm interested in using the open-source format of Wikiversity in particular and the Internet in general to explore new ways that traditional and freelance academics can express themselves, and would appreciate any input. The Friedman Lab project is new and I'm still figuring out the nuts and bolts. At the moment I'm focusing more on course development and personal learning than actual research, but that is likely to change.

Computer science is actually one of the better developed schools in Wikiversity -- I've also been working on the School of Neuroscience, which has very little material. Wikiversity contributors seem to be a self-selected group of relatively computer enthusiastic people, which might be why many schools that require another area of expertise aren't as well developed. I like your idea of course continuity within the School of Computer Science. I'm also glad you're interested in creating content because I think content is needed nearly everywhere. IMO Wikiversity would be a better learning environment if there were more multimedia resources, including resources borrowed from other sites. Have you seen Spanish 1, which I think is a good example of a highly developed course that would be much more useful with better review exercises and multimedia materials? In my experience CS programming is a subject that is also learned by doing.

Good luck!

Computer Science
Hi its good to see another user who is part of computing in this wiki. I'm looking to clean up and bring about progress in the area of networking, however if there are any similar projects that you may be working on that I might be able to help out with just let me know. Together we can move this wiki forward into a more organised and usable state. Lysander89 12:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
