Prognostic

Not all of these goals need to necessarily be fulfilled; for example, it may turn out that the e-research goal is unattainable. However, the Wikiversity project, as defined in this proposal, allows the project participants to experiment with policies and guidelines to reach these goals.

See Wikiversity/Thinktank for ideas on the actual implementation of these goals.

Possible software needs

Wikiversity should be possible without changes to our software, MediaWiki. However, the software may need work in the following area:

• Electronic testing. It could be useful to have the capability to take tests through the wiki.
• Web of trust. It may be helpful to have some kind of certification model to grade Wikiversity students.
• Single login. Every new project makes it more difficult to merge the many user accounts from the different Wikimedia projects. It would be desirable to have single login in place before Wikiversity is launched.
• MediaWiki extensions for various scientific disciplines (see especially WikiTeX, which is currently not installed for security reasons)

Wikiversity so far

• Ilya is developing wiki-version of course on Quantum Mechanics and he has some ideas about course on Japanese language
• There is an experimental German Wikiversity at http://de.wikiversity.org/

FAQ

Q: Does Wikiversity compete with Wikibooks?

No, the goals of Wikiversity are to develop materials that would be inappropriate on Wikibooks, to index Wikimedia resources, to index existing resources by other institutions, and to actively use these materials for teaching, autonomous learning, and research.
