Wikiversity:Introduction/archive

Hi, my name is Aslin Kirkpatrick. I am a 2nd year student at McMaster University. I am mostly interested in how technology permeates through our education system today and how tools such as interface can be utilized to better a web course delivery. I am also conducting a personal research on the effect of technology on our lives and how it change our societal value, as a student, individual, and as part of community.

Happy browsing!

 * Hi everybody! My name is Oleg and i'm from Ukraine.

Why did I join Wikiversity?

 * 1)  Because knowledge makes u important!
 * 2)  Because I've been told...  The best things in life are free! (tm)
 * 3)  BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
 * 4) I had no idea the wiki world was anything like this. Amazing!
 * 5) This is what it ought to be
 * 6) After a long cynical decade, I'm so excited!!
 * 7) I bought a Linux format magazine a couple of weeks ago, its a "build a website" special. Anyway, after reading an article highlighting the benefits of installing a wiki, I thought I'd check the site out. I have much to learn, but I think this is great!!
 * 8) So much I can learn and it is all $FREE!!!
 * 9) This is good for learning.
 * 10) I also hope to learn languages.
 * 11) I would like to learn Spanish as I feel that I have lost my lazy bones and can now do it =)Ironmanchris
 * 12) I want to learn languages.
 * 13) I'm doing a research project on wikis, and a series of links got me here! :)
 * 14) I'm just bored
 * 15) I'm interested in seeing what I can learn and how I can improve myself by taking my learning and growth into my own hands. The fact that this education is free is the best part of all - I can't wait to jump in with both feet!
 * 16) Because I'm interested in all technological developments that can be applied to Digital Librarianship.  Wiki has TONS of potential for future applications, and I like to have a small part in that.
 * 17) He is Risen.  Whoever did this!! for the job that I do.
 * 18) Because Wikiversity is a better mode of learning than just reading books. Books develop habits of passivity: you cannot interact with them. If you are an adult and used to the passive, book-centered mode of learning, at Wikiversity you will experience a sharp learning curve.rep here
 * 19) I disagree.  Books and Wikis should be complementary.  You do interact with books.  You don't need to throw out the old to welcome the new.  In each case, it depends on the quality of the resource.
 * 20) Wikiversity enables great levels of collaboration, with people all over the world.
 * 21) Active learning with Wikiversity can be done anywhere there is an internet connection - it beats having to go to the library again and again!
 * 22) You can study in your own time - what other educational tool allows you to work on coursework in your underwear at 3:00AM?
 * 23) Wikiversity supports a nonlinear, active approach to learning. Instead of waiting for the next lesson in the sequence to appear, you are given freedom and agency in your education to determine what seems most relevent to discover next.
 * 24) When was the last time a Robot edited something you submitted for a class?
 * 25) You cannot truly learn anything on your own. Wikiversity exposes the process of education to the wonderful Brownian motion of society, so we can all bounce into each other to get where we want to go!
 * 26) Communal learning is more effective than the one-dimensional approach we often receive from professors.
 * 27) Because I want to change some typos in this text...e.g. "showing" should be replaced with "showing" (in the section about the tutorial video).
 * 28) Because I'm awesome.
 * 29) Learning is something we all must do to feel alive!
 * 30) I haven't "joined" anything yet.  But I'm interested.  This seems like the way of the future.
 * 31) The concept of a free learning database for the entire world is absolutely magnificent.
 * 32) I wanna wiki.
 * 33) I want to learn from and contribute to the open distribution of information.
 * 34) It has so much potential - true scholarship and a whole world of possibilities
 * 35) Want to take over the world - and have no money
 * 36) I want to find out how to make one myself.
 * 37) Because I want to go back to College for free.
 * 38) I wanted to learn Mathematics especially algebra, limits, graph theory etc. :bony
 * 39) I want to help a Wiki project, but Wikipedia had every bit of useful information I know.  I also want to learn Geometry and Algebra 2.  I also agree with #18, #7, and especially #9 --Freiberg 23:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 40) I want an additional avenue to learn and to teach what I know. Karlm 04:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 41) I want to wiki too!
 * 42) Who knows, I may be able to get my MD on here one day.  Plus, Wikipedia is so great, why NOT a whole Wikiversity?!?!
 * 43) Because I'm curious.
 * 44) Because I want to learn how to delete the double "you" from the next page. And of course some more useful stuff.
 * 45) Because it sounds like a great idea.
 * 46) Share the knowledge
 * 47) I like to Learn and improve myself!
 * 48) Because I always wanted to study English Lit in a guided, collaborative way. And to learn more about Wiki because it might lead to a literacy project. I believe that the more literate we are, the better we get along. Janet 16:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 49) It's a secret to everyone.
 * 50) I want to teach everyone all the things that no-one else can teach them.Fubsadoo 13:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 51) I also want to learn new things...knowing is everything (aravind kyatan)
 * 52) I sense something starting out that's gonna get big.Fubsadoo 13:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 53) I want to be in a community that I can help and can help me, thats simple but radical in terms of existing institutional structure Chelodonium 10:58, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 54) Because I want to be part of the wikivolution, and also because I want to learn what I once thought was unusefull, but that I now see is so fundamental : knowledge is freedom ! --Heuser.f 19:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 55) hoping to be of some help .. --Managingcurves 15:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 56) I wish to learn and share my knowledge with the world!- Bananaclasic 8:21 AM 13:25:00 May 25 2007 (UTC)

 * 59) Knowledge is power and wiki has a lot of knowledge.
 * 60) `I am simply curious.
 * 61) I would like to actually do something with my life. I'd like to be able to help others fight their inner deamons and to once again be happy.
 * 62) i love the idea of being linked with people from all over the world and building knowledge every passing minute.
 * 63) I am using this so much I just figured I should join.
 * 64) Because I'm so bored!
 * 65) I want to contribute because I have taken so much!
 * 66) This snowball of human knowledge is awesome! Thomas Jackson 23:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

 * 68) I thought it would be fun to take some courses here:)Halved sandwich 02:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 69) I want to learn German, Psychology...
 * 70) Because life's too interesting to only take 2 majors Nofrak
 * 71) No. 56 it's very similar to me. Knowledge should always be free. It's the only way people can really change the world. Khullah 01:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 72) Knowledge is power, and I'm hungry for more knowledge. silhouette88
 * 73) Because I may have hated high school, but I truly love to learn.  At first, it'll be German.  Then, maybe Russian.  Or I could pick up my Mandarin again.  As well as non-language stuff.
 * 74) I've always loved learning, so I spent a long time at the University. Now that I've become a teacher, I'm even more interested in the learning process. Wikiversity is an invaluable tool for me as I will be able to learn and share my knowledge for free and without moving from my desk! Thank you Wikiversity! I'll probably start with foreign languages and humanities, but I am also interested in maths, sciences, and basically anything that's offered and meets high standards of teaching.
