Wikiversity:Featured/Proposals

Topic:Primary school mathematics and Topic:High school mathematics
- very well developed; core area. --McCormack 09:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * seems like text book, cookbook. Not an active module, just read and do by your own.--Juan 21:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree with above^ ---Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:54, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Introduction to GarageBand
- Looks like a reasonably thorough but accessible intro to GarageBand, FOSS software that allows you to make music, podcasts and movie sound tracks. -- Jtneill - Talk 10:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

- An alternative is Getting started scoring with GarageBand and symphony orchestra. --McCormack 16:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * This page is mentioned in Introduction to GarageBand but the link was not clear. I have corrected this.  Robert Elliott 13:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedian Demographics

 * It is a sociology project discovering several aspects of people ideas, not just about wiki. Its slowly developing and it works.--Juan 21:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we should avoid any kind of projects which are at all self-referential, however good their quality may be. --McCormack 07:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * We can call it sociology, self-psychology research. There are many projects based on self-references even it is not seen. Quistionaries are on of the research tools. I think firstly should be created something like Ethical codex or something like that.--Juan 09:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * pro, should be listed in featured projects: I consider this tool to generate feedback. I am sure with a little effort - for newcomers - this could also extended to make your "own" surveys (how do you like course xyz?, ...) - perhaps it is already available in easy form and I just couldn't find it? At the moment it seems to be used by more than 30 persons. With this tool people also could easily find others who have similar interests and can start communicating. Also it shows the great fact: that people are willing to share personal information so others can profit from this. Normally people present info on their user page, but the connection is missing to aggregate.

Solar System

 * Difficult to evaluate it if I am the main participant. But it is an interesting way how to study this issue for children. Lets leave the evaluation on someone else.--Juan 21:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we should revisit this resource when you've added more content, Juan? It seems to be only just getting off the ground at the moment. The media looks promising! --McCormack 07:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the problem might be, that you are not possible to measure, how many people use it, as there is nothing to push people to write inside. But well, more wv units are based just on reading and observing.--Juan 09:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Survey research and design in psychology

 * User:jtneill is busy building content; probably not ready to be featured yet, but an excellent example of wiki organisation. Worth keeping an eye on for the future. --McCormack 06:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Social psychology (psychology)

 * Another User:jtneill project. Still in development, but watch it. --McCormack 15:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Applied historical English linguistics

 * Could do with a cleanup, but the content is damn good. --McCormack 17:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Filmmaking

 * Could revise Robert Elliott's entry in the featured courses to extend to all of his film school courses. --McCormack 14:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Micromechanics of composites
Worth a look. Emesee 01:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good.--Juan de Vojníkov 20:33, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
