Wikiversity activity
This section might not be for uses to which Wikiversity can be put - but is to capture the activity of its participants.


 * Surveying and discussing pedagogical methods (eg Learning models
 * Welcoming and helping newcomers
 * Discussing and writing policy pages
 * Writing personal reflections (not only in personal blogs - the Colloquium has worked as a collective reflective space)
 * Designing key pages - particularly main page
 * Designing templates
 * Vandalism and dealing with vandalism
 * Discussing and forming a 'structure' for Wikiversity (topics, schools etc)
 * Asking "what's this all about?" or "why is this the way it is?" (often by newcomers - and it has often been a very productive question to have asked.)
