Wikiversity talk:Learning models

Drawing things together
I've made a start on trying to draw together over 2 years' of relatively uncoordinated material on this subject. Quite a number of page moves, name changes and redirects will be needed, to say the least. However on the whole I will try and preserve older pages, if only for historical reference, except where they are obviously redundant. --McCormack 09:52, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not really very happy with this page. I've spent over a year struggling to try and understand the vague and conflicting declarations and debates about Wikiversity learning models - and had especial difficulties with that page which said there was only one model (which almost nobody was paying attention to anyway). However hopefully people will point things out to me which I have missed, and I will reflect on this and update it anyway. --McCormack 04:34, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Early history
I found the following quote from User:WiseWoman on Beta Wikiversity, dated December 2006. "We just barely got started when an army of well-meaning but clueless people steamrolled the entire construction, setting up "departments" and "faculties" and "curricula" and "suggested courses" and setting up the "one true way to do X" when we were interested in having the MULTIPLICITY of views and materials collectd." I think that this probably reflects the two main models which I found in the early Wikiversity - namely, the university-model and the egalitarian-model. Some of the egalitarians appear to have been one-true-wayists who thought the board decision about the university model favoured them rather than opening the way up to multiple alternatives. --McCormack 14:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
