Hello Everyone, Yes, that was very interesting, Valerie. I believe that we can learn so much by raising questions so here goes. I came across Wikiversity as a result of following a council member of WikiEducator who had created an incredible course called Facilitating Online Communities: http://wikieducator.org/Facilitating_online_communities . I took the course last year. This year FOC09 left WikiEducator for Wikiversity: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Facilitating_Online
My question is: Are WikiEdcator and Wikiversity connected somehow? If not, should they be? Warm wishes, Nellie Deutsch Sharing is Caring!
