Template:Archive box/manual

Usage
Include the archive box in the article by adding to where you want the archive box to appear. Make sure to add the forward slash '/' to the archive name to make it a subpage of the page where the archive box is placed.

How you present a list of archive pags is up to you. You can seperate them with commas, pipes (vertical lines: '|') or as lists. See below.

Placement
The box uses a style that makes it "float" to the right. This means that where it appears in the page it will be aligned to the right edge of the page (more accurately: the containing box, but that is an unnecessary detail) and all following content will flow around it.

Examples
For actual examples of the use of this template, use the what links here link in the toolbox on the sidebar, near the top on the left side of this page (unless you are using an uncenventional skin ... in which case you probably know what you are doing).

Wikiversity:Consensus

This page is to describe how consensus is relevant to Wikiversity, and to provide guidance for Wikiversity participants in using this principle in action.

Introduction
The wiki process typically goes by creating consensus. Building consensus helps the work of Wikiversity only if participants are learning from developing a common view. Consensus is typically reached as a natural product of the editing process: a change or an addition to a page will either stand or be challenged. Letting an edit stand suggests that one consents to that edit. In the case of community-wide issues, such as policy changes, community-wide participation and consensus is necessary. In the case of a specific learning resource, if substantial disagreement regarding appropriate content or approach remain after substantial discussion, it may be productive to consider creating multiple resources.

Definition
Consensus is both a process and a product of discussion in order to construct a shared understanding and a broad agreement about a particular proposal/process/resource etc. Consensus within the Wikiversity community is formed through a process by which the community discusses a particular issue, and, after thorough discussion, reflects what the community is thinking. Consensus usually means that a large majority of community members who have discussed a proposal have provided good reasons for either adopting or rejecting a given proposal - however, any majority of opinions in a discussion or poll is only an indicator of consensus, and not the consensus itself. Evaluating consensus, therefore, is a complex process of ascertaining what the 'mood' of the community is, attempting to reflect the mood of the community as a whole, and not simply a majority within the community.

Wikiversity's decision-making process is fundamentally based in consensus, in that it is always attempted to reflect the wishes of the community as a whole, rather than a majority. When people do not fully agree with a given proposal, the proposal should be modified to satisfy as many people as possible, if not the entire community.

A guarantor of academic freedom
The consensus process within the Wikiversity community is meant to be a guarantor, not an inhibitor, of academic freedom.

 * Consensus does not function as a way to disrupt Wikiversity or hinder the work of Wikiversity editors. Wikiversity participants who are productively editing content development projects and learning resources do not have to justify their work by demonstrating that community consensus exists supporting the pages they create and their editing of those pages. Wikiversity participants are free to create new pages and new educational content as long as their efforts support the educational mission of Wikiversity. There might only be a single Wikiversity participant who is interested in a particular topic or only a minority of discussion participants who will speak in favor of having a page for a particular topic, but there is no requirement to establish consensus before learning resources about such a topic can be developed.
 * Consensus is not established just by counting votes. Wikiversity is guided by ideas that are in harmony with the education-oriented mission of the project. In judging consensus, it is the responsibility of all community members to give the most weight to rational arguments that support positions and points of view that are in harmony with the Wikiversity mission. Community members should assign less weight to discussion comments or votes that provide no rational argument to justify a point of view or that disrupt the project.

Who evaluates consensus?
Consensus is not evaluated by any one person - evaluating consensus is also a discursive (and contestable) process - meaning that someone can propose consensus has been achieved, and someone else can disagree, meaning that the discussion continues. In certain circumstances, a particular person is given the responsibility for evaluating consensus - for example, the conferring of custodianship status, which is given to a bureaucrat. However, this decision, as with anything in Wikiversity, is up for discussion and/or debate.

Etymology of the word "consensus"
The Wikipedia article "Consensus decision-making" provides an etymology: "It has its origin in the Latin word cōnsēnsus (agreement), which is from cōnsentiō meaning literally feel together. " and indicates that "as a decision-making process, consensus aims to be: "
 * Inclusive: As many stakeholders as possible should be involved in the consensus decision-making process.
 * Participatory: The consensus process should actively solicit the input and participation of all decision-makers.
 * Co-operative: Participants in an effective consensus process should strive to reach the best possible decision for the group and all of its members, rather than opt to pursue a majority opinion, potentially to the detriment of a minority.
 * Egalitarian: All members of a consensus decision-making body should be afforded, as much as possible, equal input into the process. All members have the opportunity to table, amend and veto or "block" proposals.
 * Solution-oriented: An effective consensus decision-making body strives to emphasize common agreement over differences and reach effective decisions using compromise and other techniques to avoid or resolve mutually-exclusive positions within the group.

"ESL Methodolgy"

 * Portal:Foreign_Language_Learning
 * School:Education

Content summary
This project points out empirical research that can lead to more efficient teaching of English as a second language. Also adds some experience of teachers of ESL.

Goals
In this learning project we aim to point out a few common mistakes often occurring in ESL that can be easily corrected. Suggestions based on research and experience are made to help ESL teachers and teachers of Languages in general.

Efficient Teaching of Languages and ESL Methodology
There appears to be a need to improve ESL instruction. In some classes the instruction is inefficient, and sometimes does not meet student needs. Some schools are still using rote memorization and translation from books and are passing over most common needed words. Newer methodologies have proven to be much more efficient especially for basic classes. All too often the school and teacher feel they are doing a good job but the students are still not being well served. With just a little tweaking these classes can be made much more effective and efficient This is based on experience as an ESL teacher in classes where there were often several native languages none of which was English.

ESL at the most beginning level could benefit from the following studies.

W. K.Durr, (27 1973) did a Study of High-Frequency Words in Popular Trade for Juveniles which became the famous Durr list often used by early reading teachers. Durr's research on high frequency words found in children's books found that 188 English words provided 64 percent understanding. With exception of a few animal names and other child centered words most of these words are applicable to basic adult communication.

EW Dolch did a study of common words and found relatively few were very common compared to the entire vocabulary..

Wesley Arnold did a masters degree study involving teaching language, learning and difficulty of languages And came up with percentages for the most common words, and that 600 words give 90% understanding of most human communication based on University Language Research. He also noted reasons behind the failure of Basic English. See Arnold Language Learning Research in bibliography.

Common mistakes made and easily corrected are:

Students being placed in classes above their level.

Teachers can be observed saying English words that the student has no idea of the meaning of and the teacher continues on without clarifying what those words mean. This is almost similar to the foolish scheme of people speaking slowly and loudly assuming that will cause the listener to understand. And then continuing to speak without bothering to see of the listener understands. Just because the teacher understands what is being taught does not mean the student understands it. The above statement is very clear to the student but often not picked up on by the teacher and school.

Advanced words are sometimes being taught before the basic words and concepts are taught and understood.

Words and concepts being taught are not those the student needs.

Work is sometimes assigned above the student's level.

Insufficient practice results in insufficient learning.

To improve ESL instruction at the very beginning level, and for classes with students speaking multiple native languages, consider the following:

Allow at least one native speaker as a guest in the class for each native language present. It is often the case that another family member wants to be with their relative in a class and this should be encouraged because they can be of value in clearing up misunderstandings. I discovered this was especially true when the teacher does not speak the native language of the student. Teachers in urban environments who have ESL classes with multiple languages will find it of great help to allow students to be accompanied by a relative who speaks both the native language and English.

Avoid having potentially hostile opposing groups in the same class. Although most of the time they can put differences aside this can be a source of trouble when an innocent comment is misunderstood and explodes into undesirable behavior. I did not notice that I had two mistrusting groups in one class. Something seemingly very innocent triggered them and let to fights after class. When both groups speak a common language they can easily resolve the problems by talking them out. But when they don't know enough English and do not understand each others language talking is ruled out. Physical action may result instead of talking it out.

With classes for beginners draw objects on the board, use picture flash cards, magazine clippings, or slides to clearly show the noun object, or verb action being taught.

Use gestures, or actually do the action. Demonstrate. Example sitting down, standing up.

Teach what the students need most. Start with: Greetings, introductions. Do you speak English? Speak slower. Asking basic questions such as What is this? Where is the…  Who is that? What are they doing? I found out that most know about money even if they don't know anything else.. It is easy to build on that knowledge.

Teach the most used and most needed words first and in a practical context.

Based on several studies (see bibliography) it has been found that for common human communication, basic understanding can be achieved with around 600 word roots, and adequate understanding of most common communication with around 1000 word roots. We are talking in the ninety percents.

The American Heritage dictionary study concluded that most human communication (in the 90%) involved around 6000 English words. You may see the breakdown of these in Arnold's Language Learning Research page 87. However as far as word concepts if just word roots are counted the number can get down to around 1000. Why word root rather than word? Because if a student learns help they can easily pick up on helps, helper, helping, etc. To gain higher than 90% understanding, research shows takes many more words. This is because it involves learning increasingly more less used technical terms. To achieve 100% understanding of all communication we are looking at at least 500,000 words. But to know that there are lists of the most needed words and that is under 1000 words can be of practical use to the teacher.

Charles K Ogden created Basic English allegedly using just 850 words. Which turned out to not be quite true. And there were many books published in Basic English which were quite readable by English speakers. Unfortunately Basic English is not suitable for ESL as English speakers cannot limit themselves to Basic English and neither should the ESL student. English speakers cannot speak Basic English for long. Anyone who doubts this should try it.

Speakers of English often feel that it is the Easiest Language. Not so. See the empirical research in The Easiest language by Wesley Arnold. English is the most widespread and largest language as far as vocabulary. But English also has its own problems: Terrible spelling, Irregular verbs, terrible pronunciation, a grammar which has at least 1,400 rules with more exceptions than rules, and big time ambiguity. The word set has 266 meanings and the word drunk thousands of synonyms. And Idioms in excess of 8,000. And we won't even touch on slang and jargon here. Despite all of this there are multiple movements to force others to forget their mother languages and learn English.

David Crystal in his book The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language states that languages have major statistical regularities. He quotes the famous linguist George K. Zipf (1902-50) whose best known law shows a constant relationship between the rank of a word in a frequency list and the frequency with which it is used in a text. Zipf stated take any text, count the words, put in decreasing frequency and the first 15 will account for 25 percent of the text, the first 100 words will account for 60 percent of the text, the first 1000 85 percent of the text and the first 4000 will account for 97.5 percent of the text (1987, 87). [Note it has been discovered that Zipf's law is for ethnic languages. With a planned language the number 1000 can be cut down to about half and the number 4000 can be cut by about one quarter.]

It should also be noted that many more advanced concepts can be taught with the basic words. Example for sarcastic one could use making fun of.

For students who know only a few words it is more efficient to teach them the most used 300 words in the most needed context. Teach first the most used common verbs such as: is, have, go, do, walk, drive, sit, the pronouns, the question words what, who, where, how, when, position words, etc. using common everyday situations.

In the free on-line book Language Learning Research Quick Language Learning 2010  (Arnold p 112) presents the results of several word frequency and language studies and lists the most used 1000 and needed concept words along with their ranking overall and in separate studies.

Also Professor Arnold also made a concise self tutor using these words in order of common usage using 42, 5 minute lessons, Using both Basic International Vocabulary and English. ESL teachers are free to use and or adapt those short lessons for their teaching. This is such a valuable resource I will give the website where you may get it for free and as a PDF file. http://easiestlanguage.info/IVandResearch.pdf This may be freely used by all teachers.

A time tested presentation method is for the teacher to say the word, then have the students first repeat after you then practice in each other.

Phrases are better than single words after the meaning of the word is learned.

Ask a question or use words in a phrase. This is a more efficient way for learning.

Words can be printed on the board, and pictures or drawings shown but the emphasis should be on understanding not writing.

Hand-outs with examples can serve as reinforcements particularly if you ask them to take these home and practice with friends.

Hand-outs with drawings or pictures are particularly useful for quicker learning.

Recommend the student practice often and use the new language as much as possible. Immersion works great but the student needs a good portable dictionary to look up words she does not know.

Knowing a little about the student's background and environment can help the teacher to better meet student needs.

Has it been ascertained whether the student able to read any language at present or only in non Latin script such as Chinese? This may influence whether it is better to put more emphasis in showing drawings and pictures as opposed to printing the English word on the board.

Having a vocabulary handout with English to their-native-language has proven to be of great help.

Those of us who have been in a foreign country and not spoken the language and not finding anyone around who speaks English have seen how useful and practical having a pocket dictionary is. Hope to create a list of and upload basic dictionaries for this purpose in Wikibooks.

User talk:Aldenis~enwikiversity

Here is what I think about the mission of wikiversity
Wikiversity is an open educational environment that facilitates the integration of learners, teachers, and community builders everywhere.

We learn by collaborating in the development of free instructional resources. Everyone already involved in any wikimedia project is learning all the time. We are all learning about specific topics, but also about the general nature of collaborative knowledge production within a highly dynamic community. Wikiversity focus on education makes it the best place to explore the larger implications of this model. Our instructional materials should explicitly benefit from the fact that they were born over a network, were raised in a virtual village, and can be used by everyone. This is a new way of doing curriculum development, and we all need to learn it.

We teach new ways of implementing the collective use of these resources. All wikimedia projects are based on an innovative model of open collaboration that results in the creation of rather conventional repositories of information. Our encyclopedias, dictionaries, databases, and archives are designed to replace and/or complement their closed, expensive, copyrighted, or plainly useless equivalent. Wikiversity is different. Producing great free content is only part of our mission. We want to deliver instructional resources in ways that promotes collaboration among users of these resources. A network of collective users would be the perfect counterpart of our network of collaborative producers.

We build a dynamic interface between virtual communities of free content creators and the pedagogical infrastructure of the physical world. Wikiversity is a hybrid network. We create instructional materials that make use of the wealth of resources generated by all wikimedia projects. We deliver these materials in ways that encourage their collective use. We promote further collaboration by designing educational assignments geared toward the development of all wikimedia projects. Our ultimate goal is to harness the power of existing learning communities, erasing the distinction between producers and consumers of free information worldwide. Deploying wikiversity resources in every brick-and-mortar classroom is one of the best ways to bring new contributors back to wikimedia. Aldenis 00:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

From Conventional Classrooms to Online Workshops
I posted this proposal a couple of weeks ago in a blog hosted by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Since then I have received some interesting feedback, and the idea is developing rather fast.

My name is Adrian Lopez Denis and I am a PhD candidate in Latin American history at UCLA. In the last two years I have been looking for ways to incorporate the open source model to collective forms of historical production. From the beginning, encouraging professional historians to contribute to the development of the wikipedia project emerged as the most obvious approach. Most professional historians are both researchers and educators. Besides conducting their own specialized studies, they are often expected to provide hundreds of undergraduate students with a relatively wider understanding of the past. Completing a history course usually requires writing research papers, journal entries, annotated bibliographies, or book reviews. Students are expected to produce a certain amount of pages that educators are supposed to read and grade. There is a great deal of redundancy and waste involved in this practice. Usually several students answer the same questions or write separately on the same topic, and the valuable time of the professionals that read these essays is wasted on a rather repetitive task.

In the process of essay writing, students use an array of resources, from the overpriced textbooks and readers they are expected to purchase to more readily available online tools like wikipedia. Some of us would perhaps push for deeper levels of inquiry involving books on reserve, open library searches, or even the occasional dive into local repositories of primary sources. In most cases, however, the entire process will be a mockery of actual research. As long as essay writing remains purely an academic exercise, or an evaluation tool, students would be learning a deep lesson in intellectual futility along with whatever other information the course itself is trying to convey. Assuming that each student is writing 10 pages for a given class, and each class has an average of 50 students, every course is in fact generating 500 pages of written material that would eventually find its way to the campus trashcans. In the meantime, the price of college textbooks is raising four times faster that the general inflation rate.

The solution to this conundrum is rather simple. Small teams of students should be the main producers of course material and every class should operate as a workshop for the collective assemblage of copyright-free instructional tools. Because each team would be working on a different problem, single copies of library materials placed on reserve could become the main source of raw information. Each assignment would generate a handful of multimedia modular units that could be used as building blocks to assemble larger teaching resources. Under this principle, each cohort of students would inherit some course material from their predecessors and contribute to it by adding new units or perfecting what is already there. Courses could evolve, expand, or even branch out. Although centered on the modular production of textbooks and anthologies, this concept could be extended to the creation of syllabi, handouts, slideshows, quizzes, webcasts, and much more. Educators would be involved in helping students to improve their writing rather than simply using the essays to gauge their individual performance. Students would be encouraged to collaborate rather than to compete, and could learn valuable lessons regarding the real nature and ultimate purpose of academic writing and scholarly research.

Online collaboration and electronic publishing of course materials would multiply the potential impact of this approach. Users outside the class, the country, or the continent could benefit from the work of the students. Course projects could be run on relatively closed websites associated to traditional scholarly institutions. The output from these sites could be periodically uploaded into larger repositories based on a more open model of intellectual collaboration along the lines of the wikipedia project. An even bolder move would be to base entire courses on the creation of actual wikipedia entries. Under this principle, the interaction between classmates and larger online communities could be immediate and continuous. Students could run a wikiportal, write a wikibook, or even be fully integrated in an electronic course within the wikiversity. Discussing the advantages, disadvantages, and larger implications of the wikimedia model of collective intellectual production could be a valuable educational experience in and on itself.

Changing our approach to in-class writing assignments could be rather significant. We could produce a huge repertoire of dynamically evolving instructional materials, created by students and for students, professionally edited and collectively reviewed, free and copylefted. It could be very difficult to convince many of our colleagues about the practicality of dumping the results of their promotion-giving, sabbatical-swallowing, and ultimately unwelcome original research into such an anarchic pool of information as wikipedia is today. It would be easier to alter our current approach to essay writing in the history class, recycling an otherwise dull operation into a socially productive and intellectually stimulating practice.

Sugar in the times of cholera
Sugar in the times of cholera looks like a great project. I will try to think of ways to connect it constructively to the School of Medicine. --JWSchmidt 09:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

about your project
Hello Aldenis, I inform you that I just requested the set up of the Spanish domain for Wikiversity. We will see how long it takes until the domain gets ready. I don't really know what would be the best solution for the bilingual version of your project. I think you could connect the English and the Spanish projects with interwikis. But that wouldn't be a column bilingual system.

You thema you are going to work with is so specific that you may find people interested in participating on it on specialized forums. (Bueno, cambio al español ;OD) Si quieres que tu proyecto tenga éxito es fundamental que lo promociones tanto como puedas en todos los lugares que se te ocurran. Especialmente entre personas interesadas en ese área. Esto es especialmente relevante en áreas de estudio muy específicas.

Pero no te desanimes si a corto plazo no ves resultados. Las wikis, al principio, suelen crecer despacio. Ánimo y te deseo que tengas éxito con tu proyecto. --Javier Carro 09:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Invitation
Dear user of Wikiversity,

Do you like to join a reading club, where you can read and discuss literature? Reading clubs could have active and inactive participants. Active participants could be required to edit on a regularly basis untill a deadline is reached and another topic can be chosen for reading and discussing. Hopefully, reading clubs can ensure a social network on Wikiversity of people cooperating with eachother and becoming friends while discussing knowledge.--Daanschr 09:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Aldenis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Aldenis~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Multiversity

This page discusses referring to Wikiversity as a multiversity.

Scholars do more than teach and learn. Scholar teach, learn, research, serve and play. To embrace this holistic nature of scholarship, we should use the term university or multiversity in our mission statement and other introductory pages.

Wikiversity could take ownership of the implications of its name and the creative members of the community who vision Wikiversity as a university by exploring various meanings and derivations of university. Many scholars could join in this project.

The concept "multiversity" allows more than one university to grow within the Wikiversity space. There can be a learning project university here and that can grow first. But there is so much more than can happen. An online community of independent scholarship networks university can grow here. There can be a development service university here. An interface amongst wiki-literate groups in many academic communities, universities, and associations can evolve here.

Calling it a multiversity doesn't mean that degree granting mechanisms have to be put in place. That can be in abeyance. The change from university to multiversity allows us to reconceptualize what is a university and bring free culture efforts in learning, research/discovery, and service amongst many communities into focus.

I think this community could greatly benefit and advance by dropping Wikiversity is not a university as a concept (and this limit is not in the scope statement of the approval--just not granting degrees is) and embrace Wikiversity, appropriately for the vision and possibility of wikiversity, as a multiversity.

See Wikiversity talk:Multiversity for discussion.

Free multiversity or diversity
We could also use the term "free diversity" in place of "free multiversity". That is a rather powerful statement: Wikpedia is a free diversity. Reswik 12:26, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Jargon: "multiversity" etc....I suggest that the mission statement be crafted for outside observers who are looking in at Wikiversity. The statement should be easy to understand by OUTSIDERS without them having to consult a glossary. --JWSchmidt 12:43, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * OK: you are correct about avoiding jargon for general statement purposes. university or diversity would work better in this context. i think we should consider defining and using multiversity as one concept introduced in a longer vision statement. Reswik 13:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't get it, sorry. 'University' is using the word 'universitas', which means the whole, total, universe, world. What can more inclusive than that?? Using a word like Multiversity brings the connotation of multiple unconnected things, which is the wrong picture for people to get, IMO Awolf002 16:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Multiversity in part can be a concept about multiple interacting networks with some things in common. University means one but there are many types of university and scholar communities active on the web. One of the aims of suggesting the concept of multiversity is to create a space to welcome and invite large scholarly projects with differing authority structures, different education methods and perhaps with differing interpretations of basic values (within and without wikiversity space) to develop in dialog and collaboration. If and how to structure that is a long discussion that probably needs its own page. Reswik 03:05, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

interesting problem.... the word "university: is understandable but does indeed immediately connote harvard, uc berkeley and ut austin as well as the whole power-structure (and totallizing knowledge hierarchy?) we are trying to get out of (and which many folks, increasingly, can't afford to get inside of). i tend to think that if the word "multiversity" is comprehensible to outsiders, then it's preferable.  is there any way to test this out?  --Smithgrrl 03:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * i agree, thx. and, hmm, to test the concept: perhaps we could have a survey such as...
 * Do you think multiversity sounds like:
 * a. a new world fusion jazz band
 * b. a speculative physics theory
 * c. a brand of sports underwear
 * d. a new flexible kind of large education network

 * seriously though -- i think with some exposition (such as in one version of a possible vision statement) that the idea of multiversity could express well in a word some of the existing goals of wikiversity and its growth potential. Reswik 04:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Research ethics

The ethical guidelines for scientific research in the developed world are well established by governmental agencies, professional societies, universities, and journal publishers.

Research ethics try to answer what actions are good, and what actions are bad. The key issues for research published on Wikiversity are:

 * Verifiability - Research projects must fully document the methods, original motivations, and hypotheses. Research in progress must be clearly labeled as such.
 * Honesty - Research results are always honestly reported and without omissions, even if the results are undesirable, don't fit predetermined beliefs, or proposed hypotheses. Don't lead participants into drawing specific conclusions.
 * Transparency - Research reports must clearly explain everything done in the course of the research in a open and transparent manner so that other participants can draw their own independent conclusions.
 * Objectivity - Strive to conduct and report research in a way that allows experts to independently test, verify and confirm the validity of the research.
 *  Subjectivity - You are free to express your views and opinions, but they should be clearly identified as such.
 * Disclosures - Any biases or potential conflicts of interest must be declared at the start of research projects. This fosters trust, and helps the community to understand your point of view.
 * Sources - When sources of previous knowledge, data or other information is relied on cite your sources. This allows examination of those works too. Be clear to distinguish previous knowledge from new knowledge.
 * Safety - Research must be conducted in a safe and lawful manner. Do no harm.
 * Review process - The peer-review process contributes to quality control and is an essential step to ascertain the standing and originality of a research project.

Institutional review boards
The ethics of research have partly been institutionalized in the United States and some other countries. If you wish to do research involving humans, you are often required to get research approval from an institutional review board (IRB) or institutional ethics committee (IEC). If research hasn't gone through an IRB, you can't get funding, and most co-authors and journals won't touch the research. Research involving the use of animals typically goes through another board review called an institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC).

Protecting humans, animals and nature
The role of the IRB is to protect research subjects by ensuring that researchers respect and consider the autonomy (independent decision-making through informed consent), benificence (benefits and costs--such as maintaining confidentiality whenever personal information is obtained), and respect for persons (relating to social justice issues) that may become research subjects. These are the foundations of the protection of research subjects as outlined in the Belmont Report.

IRB Exemptions
There are exceptions to the need for IRB review. One example is research on classroom activities, if there is no intent for publication of findings. The use of aggregate data (without any personal information being obtained) may be exempt. For exempt kinds of research, one may still need to state to an IRB the nature and intent of one's research.

Wikiversity and research ethics
Wikiversity can do various things in relation to research ethics review requirements. Wikiversity can:

 * collect and facilitate discussions of ethical issues in research, especially topics not addressed by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs).
 * present IRB guidelines to the general public.
 * provide researchers with detailed information about IRB processes
 * connect researchers with IRB services
 * provide descriptions of research guidelines to the developing world. Moving research that couldn't possibly get approval in the developed world to the developing world is a major problem.
 * create an IRB (which would be necessary for any Wikipedia sponsored research involving gathering personal information from research subjects).

Unethical research is not allowed on Wikiversity. This includes any and all research of Wikimedia projects and user activities without prior community approval.

References for researchers on human subjects
Recommended for researchers - take one of these courses:

These are free, online course with information about the rights and welfare of human participants in research. Anyone who is concerned with the ethics and good practice of research involving human subjects, and who has not taken similar courses, can benefit from taking one of these online courses.
 * Research Ethics Training Curriculum prepared by Family Health International (FHI).
 * National Cancer Institute Human Subjects Research Tutorial. (If you are not involved with research that involves medical treatment and have not take a similar course, you can benefit from the coverage here of some of the general issues relating to all research involving human subjects.)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ade1982. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ade1982~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gwythoff. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gwythoff~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop can be used for many different reasons; mainly graphic design and photo editing. As a beginner you should familiarize yourself with the filters and tools and explore what Photoshop has to offer.

 * Section 1: Playing with filters.

Try this: Begin with a pure black background. Use the filter "Lens Flare" with the basic settings, or your own settings. Now desaturate with Ctrl-Shift-U then use a color balance Ctrl-B. Play with all the settings... Once you've picked a good color, click Filter> Distort> Polar coordinates In the window that opens click Polar to rectangular.

Activities

Submitting a Ps project
Here you can submit your self-done Ps project.--unknown001 12:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Note Help:Media_Files. Ps projects themselves aren't permitted filetypes by the Wikimedia Foundation (mainly because they are closed format). You could upload instead e.g., to Google and link to them from here. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:26, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Another note: users can upload their Ps works here if they saved it as .jpeg. This can be done by uploading the photo using the wikiversity toolbox and then, after uploading it, just copy and paste its name instead of example.jpeg when inserting an embedded file while editing this page and that is how I have put this Ps work here.--unknown001 17:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Calculus

Calculus uses methods originally based on the summation of infinitesimal differences.

It includes the examination of changes in an expression by smaller and smaller differences.

Resources

 * Calculus/Introduction
 * Definitions
 * Calculus I
 * Calculus II
 * Fundamental Calculus
 * /Quick Reference/

Osnabrück Calculus
Mathematics for Applied Sciences (Osnabrück 2023-2024)/Part I is a course for beginners at the University of Osnabrück. It covers logical foundation, sets, mappings, algebraic structures like fields and polynomials, the basics of analysis like sequences, continuity, differentiability, primitive functions and the basics of linear algebra like vector spaces, bases, linear maps, eigenvalues. While course has been taught many times, this is a textbook -- not an online course. The lectures dealing with calculus are as follows.
 * Contents • Logic and argumentation• Quantifiers and induction• Sets and mappings• Fields• Complex numbers• Polynomials• Approximation and convergence• Completeness• Series• Continuity• Intermediate value theorem• Exponential function• Trigonometry• Differentiability• Mean value theorem• The number • Taylor series• Integration• Fundamental theorem of calculus• Rules for integration

Lessons
Wikibooks has a well developed Calculus Book in 10 sections which this Wikiversity web course should mirror to maximize resources.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kavyaneela. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kavyaneela~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
