Wikiversity talk:Courses

I'm not sure I appreciate the tone of this page. The Jade Knight 10:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

"Some courses use various downloadable programs or mailiable discs. This isn't a good idea because it often obstructs who can join, especially if it requires completing something and getting a passing grade first."

I don't appreciate the tone either. While I understand the sentiment, Wikiversity being an "unaccredited" institution, it's a perfectly fine forum for course creation. No one is seriously going to look at Wikiversity and mistake a wiki-course for a true, accredited course. The page seems highly condescending and would probably intimidate new users. Courses are also easier to organize and find than independent learning resources - I think they're a perfectly fine format for Wikiversity. --Trinity507 02:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

As a total newcomer to Wikiversity, I found this page, and almost decided to not start a "course" where my hope is to use Wikiversity to create a course syllabus and other learning resources for both the community and for student enrolled in my credit-bearing graded course at an accredited university. My course is already [part of Wikiedu.org], and I'm now building out the rest of the syllabus. The discussion here encouraged me to keep going, and I think now I'll go ahead and create my course. If I'm doing it wrong, hopefully someone will steer me in the right direction Stevesuny (discuss • contribs) 15:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
