[edit] 3 de Setembro de 2006– Notícia da Wikiversity em inglês

(Você pode ver uma podcast versão desta reportagem; veja detailed instructions)

• A Wikiversity em Inglês foi iniciada em 15 de Agosto de 2006 com uma fase beta de seis meses.
• The Wikiversity project proposal foi aprovado pela Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees e anunciado em Wikimania 2006.
• Wikiversity had previously been under development at Wikibooks. Muitas páginas da Wikiversity dentro do Wikibooks (exemplo: Wikiversity Schools) foram importadas para o novo site da Wikiversity (exemplo: Wikiversity Schools).
• Algumas normas já foram adotadas incluindo Assume Good Faith, Civility e Be bold. Some ideas have been produced for how to allow original research at Wikiversity (see: Review board), but discussion of research policy will take place at the Wikiversity beta website (see: Scope of research). Other proposed policies include:
  • Using the term "custodian" to refer to Wikiversity sysops.
  • Disclosures, a modification to the traditional Wikimedia NPOV policy which would allow Wikiversity to have scholarly webpages that adopt a biased point of view.
  • A Scholarly ethics policy that would define high standards of Wikiversity scholarship. It is proposed that high standards of scholarly ethics can guide Wikiversity participants who edit webpages that adopt a biased point of view. The standards of scholarly ethics can also be applied to original research at Wikiversity.
• The Board of Trustees instructed that the Wikiversity project proposal not include conventional courses. To replace courses, the Wikiversity e-learning model includes the idea of learning groups that collaborate on learning projects.

[edit] 28 de Agosto de 2006 – Report from the German language Wikiversity

As Rayc asked how the two wikiversities compare, I would like to give you some information about the things going on at de.wikiversity:

• We completely restarted the project on August, 26 with a team of three experienced users coming from the German wikimedia community. During the last four days more than thirty new user accounts were created. Most of them by wikimedians already active in the German wikipedia and wikisource projects.
• Actually the department of history is the most active of our ten departments (in German: Fachbereiche). Somewhat away from conventional universities we invited users to create new departments like "Department of virtual construction of knowledge" (Fachbereich Virtuelle Wissenskonstruktion), founded on the German Wikiversity by a professor at the university of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt in Bavaria.
• We have two research projects, one dealing with the edition of a manuscript from the 16th century (which is being transcribed on the German Wikisource), and another one which is underway to do some oral history about the daily life in the city of Hamburg during the last year of World War II (interviews with contemporary witnesses).
• Yesterday a course on palaeography (in close cooperation with the German wikisource) started. Most of the course participants are Wikisourcians who want to improve their ability to read old manuscripts.

So far for today. Warm greetings from the German Wikiversity --Frank Schulenburg 11:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5 de Setembro de 2006 - Wikiversity em Espanhol

As some of you may know, the Spanish Wikiversity was very active before the project was officially approved by the Board, especially at the end of 2004. You may check in this link that there around 200 or 300 pages in the namespace "Wikiversidad" of Spanish Wikibooks. Specially active was a group on Chemistry. Unfortunately, the uncertain future of the project and the long time it took to get approved, made the most active members to go away, and now Spanish Wikiversity has no activity. Only irregular small editions.

Estou tentando entrar em contato com aqueles que participaram mas não é fácil: muitos deles não estão mais em outro projeto Wikimedia, e não há como mandar e-mails a eles.

Due to the huge amount of Wikiversity pages in the Spanish domain of Wikibooks, it is not very encouraging to bring all that to v:Beta if soon afterwards we have to move it again to v:es: It doesn´t really make much sense.

That's why Spanish Wikiversity content will stay in b:es, (unless somebody wants to work hard on the moving).

And that was all. If someone is interested on relaunching the Spanish project, I would like to help you. Please, contact me in this link, thanks.
