Userbox
The following is a userbox that indicates that a user belongs to the Spanish Language Division. -- J.Steinbock 23:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I have listed your resources in the School of Language and Literature resource catalog--please post any further resources there! Thanks! --Trinity507 00:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Another interesting template for users interested in the learning project:
 * This userbox has two useful links: student to the category Spanish student; and Spanish Language Division to the exercises page of the user (User: /Spanish). This template categorized automatically the user in Spanish student. Akhram 02:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC).

Spanish Barnstar
Heltec has developed the following barnstar for use within the Spanish Language Division. This barnstar will be awarded to individuals who promote the Spanish Language Division through high-quality edits and who show have been an integral part of this division. J.Steinbock 23:41, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Note: If you post it in the "Barnstars" section it will get formatted either when i figure out how to format or when someone elce does, altho if you dont want it formated, dont post it there. Heltectalk

Resolution
This is a screenshot of the Spanish Language Division. The purpose of this screenshot is to depict what the topic page should appear under a resolution of 1440 x 900. A resolution other than this could alter your perception of the topic page. J.Steinbock 00:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello. And BAMERICA

Information Flow
Frankly, I'm a little frustrated trying to understand what is supposed to be happening in this (language) division.

When I originally signed up for Spanish I, I was under the impression that assignments were being given and taken. If one looks around at various talk pages, you can see that others are under the same impression as me.

Students continue to sign up (,if they can find the now-stealth Student Registration page,) while others are confused as to how to register. Yet the main pages in the Division and for the course say that the classes are seeking students.

In a discussion with user Fturner1, instructor J.Steinbock states:"Yes, the classes should not be looking for students as of yet."That's all well and good. However, if that is the case, why not state that at the main pages of the courses so that people have some idea what to expect.

Like I said... very frustrating.

Mikeylito 23:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Most likely because we're not that organized yet. If your looking for something to do, practice with the El Salón de Clase Flashcards and then go take the El Salón de Clase quizI--Rayc 23:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I can understand your frustration. I posted those comments because I had an initial plan to carry out the class, but I need time and additional contributors to help establish the program. I second Rayc's comments on the matter. -- J.Steinbock 02:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I've started with vocab on lesson 1 -- I can't do much with code, so maybe someone else could make it look nice. I've linked the first assignment to a flashcard site. See the Talk page on Assignments. Thanks.Fturnertl 20:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Huh - another course
I will prepare another spanish one course. --Juan 20:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

reorganize Category:Spanish and fix links
I see to way how we can recategorize Category:Spanish. Kill or copy the former subpages of Spanish is needed. Then we can categorize other stuff under Spanish using the character /:
 * 1) everything goes unders Spanish
 * Spanish/…
 * 1) stuff is categorized according SNS or SFS via:
 * Spanish/SNS/…
 * Spanish/SFS/…

So?--Juan 20:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What are SNS and SFS? The Jade Knight 04:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Well SNS is Spanish for native speakers and SFS is Spanish for foreign speakers. Maybe for transitive and other pagese third branch could be added: --Juan 18:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Spanish/Other/…

Color scheme for this page
This page's color scheme is incredibly hard on the eyes. I understand that it is appropriate for Spanish; however, perhaps the bright red and yellow could be limited so as not to assault students upon loading the page? 204.147.152.1 16:55, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Melanie Fletcher (mellowknees).
 * Yeah, I understund that is picky. But I am having no time now, so if you can "you can" of course changed. Anyway I will do it in few days try it to have lighter.--Juan 14:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

 * OK. I tried to lighten colours. Is it better?--Juan 10:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Feedback
Hello, User:Shir-El too gave following feedback. Erkan Yilmaz ( my talk page, wiki blog ) 18:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

''I wanted to learn Spanish; at first there was no class on WV, then after a while I found there was a course for self-teaching. Good. Only it doesn't work for me. I am basically an audio/visual learner; no matter how hard I tried to drill myself with "me llamo, te llamas, se llama," I still haven't absorbed it. At a minimum what I need is an interactive course with a soundtrack and a prompt screen, like a computerized typing lesson; ironically, you pointed something like that out with the chart for the apptitude test: some people find it easier that way.''

''As to how I know this: some years ago Jordan TV's foreign channel doubled as the educational channel mornings and afternoons. One afternoon I saw an animated German language lesson for children... and to my utter amazement I was absorbing the lesson on the spot and "das ist ein ritter" still evokes the image of an armored knight.''

(source here)

 * Yes, Shir-El toos idea is nice. I also tried to make something audiovisual, but most of my efforts werent started because of technical difficuties. So I think, this post would be better to show our technical comunity developing new software and tools (not only within Wikiversity, but all Wikimedia Projects).--Juan 08:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

How to link here and where to place disambiguation
I have one question to be discussed. Where we should place a disambiguation for Spanish courses and projects. We have here two pages:
 * Topic:Spanish - this is a portal for Spanish Language department, we can link here from other projects and it can be graphicaly better organized, but it also includes a lot of background stuff in which participants looking for studying may be not interested. Actualy also one of the crucial problems, there are writen some people and they were not active much within the subject of Spanish (including me).
 * Spanish - this is more like probable that the learners will find it when searching a course, we can also link it from other projects.

So what do you think? On what page link people from other projects?--Juan 08:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree with the nonsense of a disambiguation page. It is much better to have only one main page for the Spanish portal tidy and clear where people can find any information (and links) about this learning project. We have not enough material which justify a disambiguation page. On the other hand, I think of the names we are using here should be similar to the ones used in the others learning projects about languages. Akhram 01:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC).
 * Confirmed, in the Foreign Language Learning page are linked all the Language divisions, and the 'official name' for those pages is Topic: . So, the disambiguation page Spanish should be merged with Topic:Spanish, if we decide it is useless. Akhram 02:09, 12 April 2008 (UTC).
 * Merge, merge, I say! The Jade Knight 15:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd definitely agree with the merge here. Trinity507 20:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Merge with Spanish
I agree to merge here Spanish.--Juandev 07:58, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * What will the resulting url be?
 * /wiki/Topic:Spanish or /wiki/Spanish

Spanish Brainstorming
This is a brainstorming page on a topic, how to develop Spanish language courses at the Wikiversity. Spanish language courses are one of the most wanted units on Wikiversity; however, there is no progress in course development. The following brainstorming page is trying to find a wiki way, how to develop these courses.

ideas, questions, hints, experiences
Andy912's suggestion on the order of content for the Spanish lessons:
 * 1) Introduction= Reasons to learn Spanish, its use if you know it, etc.
 * 2) How to Read Spanish= A basic overview of reading and how Spanish is pronounced just as it's read.
 * 3) Grammar/Vocabulary Lesson 1= The first "Grammar/Vocabulary Lesson". Being the first, it should introduce word order, types of sentences, and some very basic vocabulary (such as pronouns and, say, items in an office) The other lessons would be something like the first, too.

Coolman's suggestion is that wiki/Spanish requires more descriptions on the differences between various courses. Would like to see what separates them. If nothing can be separated then they should be merged/removed or marked as a competing course. Either way it should be clear. Forget skype/live teachers for now, just concentration on having some learning materials and tests.

Acceptations

 * Here is a suggestion/idea: we could develop a course titled: "The Fascinating World of Acceptions". That is a course that would permit the discussion of words that have different meanings, and subsequently would help build a more comprehensive vocabulary. Tortillovsky (discuss • contribs) 23:56, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I think that one of the first words to cover could be: seguro which could mean safe, safety pin, sure, insurance, etc... Tortillovsky (discuss • contribs) 18:39, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Wow, progress is slow...
Goodness, i'm a bit taken aback at how very much of nothing is happening here! there may well be demand for courses, but i rather suspect that that demand - at a basic level at least - is being covered, and well covered, elsewhere! If anyone ever asks me about starting to learn spanish online, i always point them to the bbc stuff. Anyway, that leads me to two points:

 * 1)perhaps wikiversity should concentrate on delivering spanish courses NOT available elsewhere i.e. intermediate/advanced language; literature etc.
 * 2)using skype is a great idea to hook up learners with tutors, but it doesn't seem to have taken off. once the "spanish department" finds itself and a community builds up, however, it will develop naturally if it is going to develop at all.  i'm not sure that it is beneficial for the "course" to demand it, it should be an add-on.  i'm not debating its benefits, i just suspect that there may well be an imbalance of supply and demand.  anyways, there are plenty of other places on the internet for people to hook up with "intercambios"
 * 3) (yeah, i know, i said two points...sorry) audio-only courses in the style of michel thomas or pimsleur seem to be very successful at an introductory level, but i don't know of any "open" non-commercial versions and certainly can't find any (legal) stuff online to download - perhaps someone would be interested in collaborating on a project to develop a new, free audio-only spanish course?

Cooperate with the English Language Department at the Spanish Wikiversity
I noticed that there is also not much progress at the English language department in the Spanish version of Wikipedia. Perhaps if we help over there and they help over there we could both benefit? Each of us could bring our own strengths to bear. Here is their URL:

http://es.wikiversity.org/wiki/Departamento_de_Ingl%C3%A9s

There is also a Yahoo Group that could help coordinate this effort:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spanishandenglishatwikiversity Rpgray 16:42, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Tools to add to the resource list
Here are some of my favorite free and open source tools for language learning that I think should be added to the resources list (The free and open source part is important because it coinsides with the wikimedia foundations philosophy): Great dictionary A friendly alternative to skype watch the video here for an explanation http://www.fluentin3months.com/learning-with-texts/ --Simplex (discuss • contribs) 19:30, 20 June 2013 (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 Kensolar. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kensolar~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.

Web Design/Information Architecture Challenges

Creating the information architecture for a site sounds like a science (and some people do study it as a science!) but for our purpose as Web Designers we just want to learn how to structure the information on a website to maximise the target users ability to find what they want.

A great way to get started practicing IA is to use the more formal process outline by Adobe's Information Design, Site Design and Page Design tutorials.

Using whichever tool you choose, for each challenge you will need to carry out the following tasks:
 * 1) Identify (or clarify) the business goals of the website.
 * 2) Identify and clarify the target audience. You may choose to create one or two [personas] for your primary target audiences.
 * 3) Identify the [user's goals] for the website (what the user needs to be able to do). These will relate to the business goals.
 * 4) For each of the user goals and/or site goals, brainstorm the content requirements with the client (or your facilitator) and other team members. For the purpose of these challenges you should end up with a list of 15-20 content items.
 * 5) Using Card-sorting technique or otherwise, group your information requirements into related topics that will help you target audience achieve their goals when using the website.
 * 6) Create labels for your groups that are clear, consistent and intuitive to your target audience.
 * 7) Document your site heirarchy using a sitemap.
 * 8) Create a prototype navigation system (on paper!) based on the information architecture.
 * 9) Test your website navigation system with others, using your target audience (and any personas or scenarios that you created), and adjust your information architecture as needed.

Each challenge will provide different bits of information, you'll need to work together to brainstorm the rest!

Challenge 1: MobileAir
MobileAir is a new startup company that is launching it's mobile services in 6 months time. MobileAir is intending to save money by providing most of their services for clients on their website.

MobileAir is particularly targetting young mobile users (15-30yrs, as that's where the money is).

Example sites for inspiration or ideas:
 * Virgin Mobile

Challenge 2: Mountains Retirement Village
Mountains Retirement Village is situated just outside a major city and is aiming to attract the new wave of digitally-aware retirees and their digital-native kids. Browse and choose your retirement or your parents retirement.

Example sites for inspiration or ideas:
 * Retirement By Design
 * It's Your Life

Filmmaking Basics/Thumbnail Storyboard/What software for thumbnail storyboards?

CURRENTLY THIS IS AN ORPHAN PAGE

OPTION 1 - Paper and Pencil

 * Obviously, paper and pencil are the best possible tools for thumbnail storyboarding.

 * The only problem is how do you show your sketches to the other members of our jolly crew who live all around the world.

 * If you use pencil and paper, you have to scan your pictures into a computer… and that can take more time than drawing the pictures on a computer to start with.

OPTION 2 - Adobe Photoshop

 * Adobe Photoshop is ideal for storyboarding because it is fast… once you become familiar with the program. Photoshop has round and square marquee tools for making selections which can be filled and stroked to create heads, eyes, and bodies.

 * All you need is Photoshop 4 or better to make wonderful storyboards. An old antique computer is perfect for this.  (Though Photoshop is not free, you can use an old version which is almost free.  I use version 5.5 on a laptop made 10 years ago.)

OPTION 3 - ArtRage(Free demo version)

 * Highly Recommended !!!
 * [[Image:ArtRage 2 SB 1.jpg|frame|A very simple storyboard frame created using the free version of ArtRage.]]

 * ArtRage 2 is a fun painting program simulating simple artist tools. Ambient Design is a New Zealand based company founded by Andy Bearsley and Matt Fox-Wilson who came from MetaCreations Corp.  They offer a free version of ArtRage 2 which has only some of the features of the full version.  Still, the free version is more than enough to do this project.

 * Note 1:ArtRage 2 requires a graphic tablet since a mouse is not a good painting tool. I tried using a mouse and could not do it. You must have an artist's tablet attached to your computer to get the benefit of pressure sensitivity.

OPTION 4 - Camera

 * Some film directors prefer to get real actors and have them walk through the script. As the actor move into position, the director photographs them.  This way the director can use the actual lenses in the actual location.

OPTION 5 - FrameForge 3D Studio 2 - (Free demo version)

 * Good news! I have just discovered this wonderful program called "FrameForge".

 * FrameForge 3D Studio 2 is a fun program which you can being using almost immediately. Download the free demo version and try it. I think you will like it!!!

 * For more info, look at the article on the right.

FrameForge 3D Studio 2 The FreeDemo Version

The young person looks at the movie poster.

A wonderful opportunity
FrameForge is a great 3D storyboarding program. It is designed for professional storyboard artists to create lens accurate images for real motion pictures.
 * FrameForge 3D Studio 2

Best of all, this program is well designed and well written. This is rare!

FrameForge has a unique advantage. The program teaches you about lenses.
 * The Advantage of FrameForge

FreameForge 3D Studio is an excellent program for people who do not understand the impact of lenses. Unless you are an expert with SLR fixed-focus cameras, I strongly suggest that you start with the freedemo version of FreameForge 3D Studio to experiment with the way camera lenses work. After you know this, then you can begin creating thumbnail storyboards with pencil and paper.

You can download a free demo version of FrameForge. This free version has limitations but the demo program works well enough for completing the storyboards for our movie while learning a tremendous amount about camera lenses.

Other Software

 * Not Recommended
 * Sketch Up has a free demo version of SketchUp 5 which is fully working for 8 hours... which is enough time for you to experiment with the program creating storyboards. The program is absolutely fascinating but too awkward for storyboarding.  I will continue to test this.  There has to be some use in filmmaking for this wonderful program.

 * Not Recommended
 * Open Office 2 has a draw module which is designed for full size pages. It has no paint features for drawing expressions on the actor's faces. Therefore, creating small thumbnail storyboards is difficult.

Untested
Here are interesting products that I need to test.
 * I have not tried this product

 * Storyboard Artist by Power Products provides professional level features that are easy to learn and access. Creates print boards and QuickTime animatics. Also useful for prototyping games and other visual projects.

 * I have not tried this product
 * Storyboard Quick by Power Products comes complete with pre-drawn image libraries which includes rotating characters; both specific and generic locations plus everyday props.

 * I have not tried this product
 * Storyboard Artist Studio by Power Products contains all of the features of StoryBoard Artist with additional features such as a sketch mode which turns all your frames into a sketch-like look so no matter what you use in a frame, the printed page looks like you sketched it.

 * New version
 * EazyDraw has a free version. My original test of the demo version discovered a bug which apparently has now been fixed.  Small windows could not be created in the demo version.  Now I must test the newest version.

 * An interesting program but can I load it?
 * GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages. The GIMP ORG provides the free source code which then must be compiled in X11.  Previously, this program was too difficult to load so I did not recommend it to the average filmmaker.  (For more detail, see WikiU Film School - Problems installing GIMP.)

 * New Loader
 * GIMP for the Macintosh now has a new loader. The previous free loader reqires extensive knowledge of Unix code so it was not appropriate for filmmakers.  The newest verion is 80 MEGs so I am unable to download it.  (Anyone with a fast connection and a Mac?)

 * Totally new options
 * GIMP for the Window was previously difficult to load or was not free. Now there is a wide range of ways to get this program for free (or almost free.)  With the introduction of Ubuntu and Edubuntu, all the pain is gone.  Also, loaders for Gimp for Windows from Jernej Simoncic apparently makes this very easy.  (I have not tested this.)

Seeing what the scene will look like

 * Before you start storyboarding
 * Before you can start storyboarding, you must visualize (see in your mind) what the movie set will look like. After you have storyboarded a dozen scenes, you can do this entirely in your mind.  But when you get started, you need help.

 * style="width: 40%; background-color: cornsilk; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 400px;" |

Real, live bodies

 * The simplest way to previsiualize
 * The most common way for a director to previsualize is to set up a few chairs to represent all the furnature in the movie and then ask a few production assistants to stand in for the actors. Then the director walks around the room with an eye piece which allows her to see the scene as the camera lens will see the scene.  This is the most simple and direct way to visualize what the scene will look like.

C Programming/Arrays

Objective

 * Learn about arrays and how to use them.
 * Declaring arrays.
 * Initializing arrays.
 * Passing arrays to functions.

Introduction
An array is a series of contiguously allocated variables of the same type. Let us start with an analogy. Suppose that you have a cupboard in your house. You would like to keep books on each shelf of the cupboard. It would be nice to keep books related to one subject on one rack, books of another subject on another rack. A rack is an array. A rack is used to store books of the same subject. Similarly, an array can store data of the same type. When you declare an array, you must specify the type of data this array will hold. Every element of the array must be of that data type.

The syntax for declaring an array is:

For example: Is an array of integers, with size 5, called x. Similarly, is an array of floating point numbers, with size 6, called y.

To access the elements of an array, you must use array notation. The first element of an array is at position 0, the second at position 1, etc. The last element of an array is at position size - 1.

As you can see, once you have selected an element using array notation, you can manipulate that element as you would any variable. Here is a more complex example:

Array Initialization I
When an array is declared, it is initially 'empty'; it does not contain any values. We can initialise an array as follows:

is called an array-initialization block. When we use an array initialization block, we do not need to specify the size of the array. The following is equivalent:

When have created an array with 5 elements. The first element is 5, the second is 7, etc.

Array Initialization II
Let us look at a small code snippet that prints the number of days per month. OUTPUT Month 1 has 31 days. Month 2 has 28 days. Month 3 has 31 days. Month 4 has 30 days. Month 5 has 31 days. Month 6 has 30 days. Month 7 has 31 days. Month 8 has 31 days. Month 9 has 30 days. Month 10 has 31 days. Month 11 has 30 days. Month 12 has 31 days.

(You may not have seen  before. It is a preprocessor instruction that defines a constant called   and assigns it the value  .)

If you lack faith in your ability to count, we can let the computer give us the size of an array, by using. Just replace with

Variable-length array
A variable-length array, also called variable-sized or runtime-sized, is an array data structure whose length is determined at run time (instead of at compile time). In C99, VLAs (Variable-Length Arrays, as they are called) are a mandatory feature, that then became optional in later standards. Note that the major compilers all allow VLAs.

Assigning Array Values
We can assign values to array members by using array index.

Thus the array  will contain the elements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Passing Arrays to a Function
Arrays cannot be passed to functions. If an array name is used as an argument in a function call, the address of the first element of the array is passed. The function can access the array through that address.

Suppose we want to write a function that returns the sum of elements of the array.

Note that the array name  is used as an argument to the function. The function is expecting an array because its parameter is defined as. What is actually passed is the address of. The function then can access the array using array notation.

How are arrays stored in memory?
When we declare an array, space is reserved in the memory of the computer for the array. The elements of the array are stored in these memory locations. The important thing about arrays is that array elements are always stored in consecutive memory locations. We can verify this fact by printing the memory addresses of the elements. (Just like every person has a street address, every location in the memory has a memory address, usually a number, by which it can be uniquely identified.) OUTPUT Address of a[0] : ffe2 Address of a[1] : ffe4 Address of a[2] : ffe6 Address of a[3] : ffe8 Address of a[4] : ffea Address of a[5] : ffec Address of a[6] : ffee Address of a[7] : fff0 Address of a[8] : fff2 Address of a[9] : fff4

As we can see from the output, the elements are stored at ffe2, ffe4, ffe6, etc. You might be wondering why the numbers are not consecutive. The reason is very simple. The size of the  data type in C is at least 2 bytes (depending on the implementation). In this example it is 2 bytes wide, so  will be stored at ffe2, ffe3,   will be stored at ffe4, ffe5,   will be stored at ffe6, ffe7 and so on.

If instead we declared an array of s (which usually take around 4 bytes each), we will find   will be stored at ffe2, ffe3, ffe4, ffe5,   will be stored at ffe6, ffe7, ffe8, ffe9 and so on. Note that you may see entirely different numbers that represent the address locations.

As you can see, the elements are consecutive. This concludes the lesson on arrays.

The way arrays are placed in memory is so that the name of the array is actually the address of the lowest element in memory, so that higher elements are accessed by doing addition, as may be intuitive. However, a confusing part of this is that the stack grows downwards. What is meant by this is that the stack pointer (sp/esp/rsp - for accessing 16/32/64 its repectively) points to the top of the stack (often the top of the memory) allocated to the program, unless you use special settings (which you shouldn't), or you are on a special system. When you allocate to the stack, variables are allocated going downwards - so when you push (add) a value (or variable) onto the stack, sp/esp/rsp decreases to be pointing to available unused memory, and when you pop (remove) a value (or variable), esp increases to be pointing to the memory above the variable you popped. When you allocate an array, sp/esp/rsp is decreased by that array's size, and the name for the array is saved as it's offset from the frame of course. This means that, while allocated backwards, because it is allocated all at once, the array is accessed upwards. Note that the reason for the direction of stack growth is dynamic memory: dynamic memory, or heap memory, must grow upwards, as otherwise increases/decreases would have to apply to the start of the chunks of memory. Noting this, having both segments grow towards each other is the only safe way to properly allocate memory to actually maximise availability, otherwise there would be a split, making programs that utilise one more than the average suffer due to lack of available memory.

Note: In terms of actual, physical addresses, things get more complicated due to paging, segments and something called a GDT. However, there are literally 2 things that require knowledge about these things: writing an OS and writing drivers, which is part of writing an OS.

The Storyboard Library
To use these storyboards, simple write down the numbers of the frames you like.

 * As new frames are used at this site, they are added to the library of Storyboard Frames so all you have to do is print out either the  Storyboard Worksheet or Script Outline  and look at the library of Storyboard Frames and write the number of the storyboard on the worksheet.

The library page will eventually be moved to Reference:SBTDS:Storyboard Frames.

Storyboarding with ArtRage2 Free

A simple but challenging program

 * Simply wonderful
 * ArtRage Free is a wonderful program. The free version is absolutely free, fully working, and extremely easy to use.  I highly recommend that you download this program.

 * Simple
 * It takes only 2 seconds to understand how to paint using this program since it one of the easiest programs to learn.

 * Fun
 * While the free version does not have as many features as the full version, it is great fun to use. That is because it simulates real artist tools.

 * Skill required
 * Yet, the program is challenging. When you want to draw thumbnail storyboards, it can take you a long time to figure out how to get your storyboards to look good… or even just acceptable.  Specially if you are not a skilled artist.

 * The tutorial
 * To help you get started specially if you are not a skilled artist, I have created this tutorial to help get you started.

 * NEW
 * Start by creating a NEW page. When the dialog box comes up, select a frame size of 640 by 360 pixels.  Because of the way that ArtRage2 works, it is easier to draw on a large page than a small page.

 * Night time background
 * Then select a background color for the storyboard frame. Our movie takes place at night so, to give a night feel to the storyboards, I want a slightly blue background.

 * The set of tools
 * Here is the pallet for the art tools of ArtRage 2. When you get the free version, some of the tools are disabled.  The disabled tools are usually the more advanced tools.  All of the basic tools work in the free version.

 * Chalk
 * To begin, I select the chalk tool and set it as large as possible which is 100%. Note: This size of the piece of chalk stays fixed while I draw.  When I set the chalk tool to 100%, it stays at 100% the entire time that I use the tool.  When I press down harder on my pen tablet, the amount of chalk added increases but the diameter of the chalk always remains the same.

Using the color picker, I select a color for the face of the character.

 * The color picker is simple. You select the basic shade on the left and then adjust the brightness in the tiny verticle bar on the right.  The shade that you pick appears in the lower right corner of the tool.

.

 * Begin drawing
 * I begin to draw the face by adding chalk for the face. I use circular motion to increase the face until the blob of chalk reaches the correct size.

.

 * Create the face
 * Quickly, I get a nice round face. The size of the face depends on how I think the shot should be composed.

.

Next I select black.

.

Then I go all around the face to get an outline.

.

Next, I create the eyes so to get white, I click in the white part of the bar at the right.

.

I use the crayon which is set to 20% wide.

.

I paint the eyes white.

.

 * Black detail
 * Then I select the felt tip brush which is about 30% in size and draw the eyes and the body.

.

I switch to black.

.

And I paint the center of the eyes.

.

Then I draw the body. Now everything is done but the hair.

.

Then I select brown.

.

I use the crayon which is set to 20% wide.

.

Finally the figure is finished.

.

 * SAVE and EXPORT
 * I must save the painting. Also I must export the painting as a JPEG files.  This is not automatic with ArtRage 2.

EXTERIOR - The local movie theater - NIGHT

(1) The Young Person and Old Person stand looking at the movie poster outside the theater.

The "Dancing Fairies" music begins to play. Slowly dolly in as music builds. A smile begins to form on the young persons face. Cut to the poster and dolly in slowly. The "Dancing Fairies" music morphs into the Star Wars theme.

(2) Young Person: "That was a great movie..." Cut to a side view as the Star Wars music begins to fade to street noise.

(3) Young Person (contined): "but I do not understand one thing." The young person;s head turns to the older person.

(4) Old Person: "What's that?" Wide angle shot to show emotional distance between the two characters.

(5) Young Person: "How can anyone be seduced by the Dark Side?" Immediately a dark cord plays.

(6) The old person thinks for a while. Old Person: "Humm!" Thinking very slowly. Music: The music starts with "thinking music" and then morphs into to "fairie music". Finally, the music comes to a sharp halt.

(7a) Old Person: "What computer do you..."

(7b) Old Person(off camera): "... have at home?" Cut in mid sentence to see the young person's anticipation.

(8) Young Person (eagerly): "A Macintosh!" The young person's face lights up with excitement.

(9) Old Person: "But what computer does your father use at work?" Military music for thoughts of father.

(10) The young person thinks for a moment. Young Person: "Humm!" Music: The music starts as thinking music and shifts to fairy music and then ends with the Star Wars theme.

(11) Young Person (amazed and excited): "Seduced by the Dark Side!" Full Star Wars theme

(12) The Old Person smiles. Old Person: "Ahh!" The face lights with a knowing smile as the fairy music starts again.

(13) Old Person and the Young Person walk toward home together. Lock the camera for a matte painting.

The camera remains locked. When the matte painting is added, the shot will look like this:

(14) Fade to Black.

The Secret Tool of ArtRage 2

 * Undo
 * One tool not mentioned enough in ArtRage2 is the Undo command. Keep your fingers ready to undo at all times.  There is even multiple levels of undo.  This command will rescue you more times than you can imaging.  Try it.

 * style="width: 40%; background-color: Yellow; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 200px;" |

It is free!

 * Download today
 * Download ArtRage 2 Free today. Try it.  If you really like it, try doing the lesson where you must draw the poster for Star Wars.  ArtRage is the ideal tool for this.  And the poster is a wonderful excuse for you to relaz and draw for an hour or two.

The Finished Drawing

 * Size Reduction
 * Finally, I use another program to reduce the size to 160 by 90 pixels. In my case, I took the JPEG picture which I exported from ArtRage 2 Free and imported it into iPhoto.  Inside iPhoto, I simply exported the picture with the image size of 160 by 90 pixels in the JPEG format.  This gives me a very simple thumbnail storyboard frame which takes very little memory on the WikiU Film School website.

 * Talent helps
 * As you can see, I don't have much artistic talent. But I have enough to show you how I want to film my movie.  Also, more importantly, this rough storyboard shows me if my series of shots will work together.  Look at the final thumbnail storyboard to the right.

Microeconomics/Supply Demand and Equilibrium

First of all, a clear distinction must be made between supply and actual sales, on the one hand, as well as between demand and actual purchases, on the other hand. Supply is the intention to sell a given quantity of a good, given its price. Demand is the desire to buy a given quantity of a good, given its price. A market is the event that buyers and sellers of a certain good meet together to trade. A good, in its most general definition, is everything that can be traded. Others prefer to distinguish the goods between material goods (apples, cars...), on the one hand, and services (health care assistance, music concerts...) on the other hand. Here, material goods and services are collectively referred to as goods.

For a given price, say one dollar, the demand (i.e. the amount of good the consumers want to buy at that price) may exceed the supply (i.e. the amount of good the producers want to sell at that price). If the exchange would occur at such a price, the consumer desires (plans) would not be wholly realized. On the other hand, the price of a good could be such that the supply of it exceeds the demand for it. In this case, the producers intentions (plans) could not be entirely realized. Actually, it is easy to understand that for many prices the supply and the demand of a good do not match, so that the plans of producers and consumers are inconsistent between them and cannot be realized. In fact, a market is said to be in equilibrium at a given price only if the demand for a good at that price equals its supply (at the same price). The price is therefore called 'equilibrium price'. 'General equilibrium' is the term used in economics to indicate that the markets of all goods are in equilibrium.

Microeconomics primarily focuses on individual choices: why, at a given price, a person demands a certain amount of a good? Why the producers (i.e. the people involved in the production of a good) are willing to sell, at that price, a (possibly different) quantity? What is the aggregate (=market) demand and supply of a good at a given price? What would be the situation at a different price? More importantly, what happens on the market when consumers and producers meet? Is there an equilibrium price for that good? If it exists, can it be reached? Are the many different markets linked in some way? Is there a general equilibrium, that is a set of prices such that all the markets are in equilibrium?

Even though the primary focus of microeconomics is on individual behaviour, its ultimate aim is to provide a simplified mathematical representation (=a model) of the working of a market economy. The scientific interest in the working of a market economy comes from our everyday experience: so many distant events are (or, at least, seem to be) coordinated amongst them to provide us what we need. How many people have worked to give us all the goods we consumed in the last two weeks? Adam Smith suggested that the market is the coordinating mechanism in the backstage, working as an 'invisible hand'.

Roughly speaking, a market economy is a state of the world such that the individuals may freely trade goods between them. For example, in a market economy a person can freely decide to sell her/his labour services to an employer but cannot be obliged to work against her/his will. Thus, the existence of a full-fledged market economy requires laws and institutions (for example, slavery is banned, theft is punished, property rights are protected etc...).

Along with the positive study about the actual functioning of a market economy, a crucial normative question is whether its outcome (be it a general equilibrium or not) is the best attainable result for the society as a whole.

I've removed the line to add images to the missing info category based on an empty permission field. Many of the files have license info outside of the upload info box, and this causes a large number of images to appear in the cat despite valid licensing.

Fundamental Beliefs in Roman Catholicism

I hold that their are three levels of belief in the Roman Catholic Church. The most deeply held of these are the Fundamental Beliefs. After that there are the Core Beliefs and the Dogmatic Beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church.

Beliefs
The Fundamental beliefs of Roman Catholic Church is illustrated in the Nicene Creed.

Nature of God
The Catholic Church acknowledges that there is only one God(monotheism). It acknowledges that God is one, eternal, all-powerful (Omnipotent), all-knowing (Omniscient), all-good (Omnibenevolent), and present everywhere simultaneously (Omnipresent).

God exists as distinct from and prior to his creation (that is, everything which is not God, and which depends directly on him for existence) and yet is still present intimately in his creation. In the First Vatican Council the Church taught that, while by the natural light of human reason God can be known in his works as origin and end of all created things, God has also chosen to reveal himself and his will supernaturally in the ways indicated in the Letter to the.

Catholicism is also Trinitarian. It believes that, while God is one in nature, essence, and being, this one God exists in three divine persons, each identical with the one essence, whose only distinctions are in their relations to one another: the God the Father's relationship to the Son, the Son's relationship to the Father, and the relations of both to the Holy Spirit, constitute the one God as a Trinity.

A Catholic is baptized in the name (singular) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit — not three gods, but one God subsisting in three Persons. While sharing in the one divine essence, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct, not simply three "masks" or manifestations of one Person. The faith of the Church and of the individual Christian is based on a relationship with these three Persons of the one God.

The Catholic Church believes that God has revealed himself to humanity as Father to his only-begotten Son, who is in an eternal relationship with the Father: "No one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him."

Catholics believe that God the Son, the Divine Logos, the second of the three Persons of God, became incarnate as Jesus Christ, a human being, born of the Virgin Mary. He remained truly divine and was at the same time truly human. In what he said, and by how he lived, he taught all people how to live, and revealed God as Love, the giver of unmerited favours or Graces.

After Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, his followers, foremost among them the Apostles, spread more and more extensively their faith with a vigour that they attributed to the presence of the Holy Spirit, the third of the three Persons of God, sent upon them by Jesus.

The Church's catechesis makes use of the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed, convenient summaries of the main points of Catholic belief. The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives a "systematic presentation of the faith" and a "complete exposition of Catholic doctrine". The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, first published in 2005 and in English in 2006, is a much more concise version of the Catechism, in question and answer form.

In addition to all of the main points of orthodox trinitarian Christianity, Catholics place particular importance on the Church as an institution founded by Christ and kept from doctrinal error by the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and as the font of salvation for humanity. The seven sacraments, of which the most important is the Eucharist, are of prime importance in obtaining salvation.

Wikiversity:Academic freedom

The Wikiversity policy for Academic freedom states that Wikiversity participants in the roles of teacher, student and researcher have freedom to pursue knowledge wherever it may lead, including beyond the traditional Wikimedia Foundation Neutral point of view (NPOV) policy. When Wikiversity participants edit outside of the confines of NPOV policy, they assume the responsibility to openly disclose and discuss their personal biases and potential conflicts of interest and must explicitly affirm that they accept the restrictions imposed by the Wikiversity policy for Scholarly ethics.

Wikiversity participants who do not wish to assume the additional responsibilities imposed by the Disclosures and Scholarly ethics policies must edit according to the restrictions imposed by the Wikimedia Foundation NPOV policy. In practice, this means that by default the editing of Wikiversity pages will be governed by the Wikimedia Foundation NPOV policy. Specific Wikiversity pages can be exempted from NPOV by prominently displaying a statement that describes the point of view (or points of view) that are intended to be explored without an attempt to explore and discuss all significant points of view. Individuals wishing to participate in scholarly exploration of a topic from the limited perspective of a single point of view and free of NPOV policy restrictions, must declare their personal commitment to the Scholarly ethics policy.

Vanille means "vanilla" in French...yes I'm half Thai/French. Since it's a French name most of people have trouble pronouncing my name and would just call me by my nickname instead.

Edit request from Themadhatter3269, 6 December 2011
In the first table 'Basic Text Formatting' in Row 4 'External Links', the links used to represent link to a section do not work. The link text should probably read a section of a page instead of a section of a page. The same code is used for the link in the third column and hence needs editing, too.

I'd like to see two improvements on this page related to Templates and Transclusion. The first would be to link to Help:Transclusion. When I first started editing articles, it wasn't clear what transclusion was. The second would be to add some type of explanation better describing transclusion vs. templates. Transclusion itself is simply including text from another page in the current page. This does not require the use of a template. It can be accomplished with. Templates are a combination of transclusion and template processing that allows for reuse through replaceable parameters and other functionality. There are many pages in the template namespace that would be better positioned as pages within their associated learning project and transcluded using the : syntax. -- Dave Braunschweig (talk) 17:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Why categorized as FAQ?
I can see it was moved from Help:Editing by Dark Obsidian in 2009. A FAQ is most often listed as questions and answers, but that's not the case on this page, so I would rather categorize it as a normal help page. The main FAQ page is "correct", so I can't see why this subpage should be different. I haven't looked for other subpages or resources about this question, so I jut ask if someone have some arguments for why this should be a FAQ? Otherwise I will suggest it will be moved back under Help:Editing. /Patrik Näsfors (discuss • contribs) 23:26, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Merge with Tips page
There is also a Tips page, created by. Wouldn't it be better to merge that content into this page, instead of having two separate pages, both with tips for editing? /Patrik Näsfors (discuss • contribs) 23:38, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Recommented format
Hi all, I am trying to put together a few lessons on Ship strength (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Ship_Strength) but the more I write the more I get the feeling I should put this in WikiBooks instead of here.... Could someone point out an exemplary page and even put it at the front page, so that it is clear how it should look? Keep in mind that teaching someone how to use a piece of software is not the same as teaching something more abstract. A million thanks for any help.Dpservis 16:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Create a new page function bug
The "create a new page function" feature at the bottom of the page has a bug which I cannot figure out. Anything after this function is pushed to the right side of the page rather than on the next line as it should be. So I moved the function to the bottom of the page so no one sees the bug.

'Contents' section anomaly
I noticed that 2nd item/section-link of Help:Wikitext quick reference's 'Contents' section which should read... "2 Just show what I typed" ...is displaying... "2 Section Heading Embed File File link [[Media:Button media.png]] Media:Button media.png Mathematical Formulas (LaTeX) $2^3$ Ignore wiki markup $2^3$ $2^3$ Signature Thanks guys -- ~ Thanks guys --Karl Wick 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC) Horizontal line Page Redirect #redirect Help:Editing Help:Editing#Basic text formatting For a list of HTML tags that are allowed, see HTML in wikitext. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible. Just show what I typed" ...as a hyperlink.

Unraveling this exceeds my current skills. Help from a more experienced/knowledgable editor/admin would be great.

--Kevjonesin (discuss • contribs) 22:16, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Hear hear! Apparently, this has partly to do with failure of the nowiki tag on the demo of heading markup, but the rest of it is beyond me, likewise how to fix it.--Alkhowarizmi (discuss • contribs) 08:22, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Now corrected. Note that these pages are not regularly monitored. That's why the issue has remained for more than three years, and likely much longer. Please ask questions about Wikiversity in the Colloquium for a faster response. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:03, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Data files
The observational astronomy learning project will teach how to analyze astronomical data. I'd like to upload images that I've taken through a telescope. The raw images are in the FITS file format. The file header contains metadata such as the date and time the image was taken. Astronomy software uses the metadata when the image is analyzed. For instance, the program uses the metadata to map the pixels in the image to the coordinates in the sky and generates a grid over the image to measure the position of stars. The FITS format is not a standard format that a web browser would understand how to render.--mikeu 00:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Technology in the classroom

Technology can be used in many different ways in the classroom. There are also many types of technologies - encompassing computers (and general and/or specialised software), internet-enabled activities, video, audio, etc.

What are the various technologies that can be used?

 * Video - use videos to discuss a television programme in class; make your own video about your subject; get learners to make their own videos. See Educational Videos
 * Audio - create listening activities for a language lesson; record your own radio programme in a podcast.
 * Computer games
 * Blogs - blogs can be used to share ideas between a linked community of learners, as well as the wider world.
 * Wikis - use wikis to collaborate, brainstorm and refine ideas. Wikiversity is a wiki! See Learning to learn a wiki way

What can technologies enable us to do?

 * Technologies can help to engage learners through different kinds of stimuli - as well as in allowing learners to get actively involved in their own learning. The provision of different stimuli can be especially beneficial for younger learners, but these points, particularly that of "active involvement", can apply to any learner in any context.
 * Technology can help make the material more interesting if it helps learners to relate the material to their everyday lives (eg. through discussing global events as presented on television).
 * Through the use, analysis and possibly creation of media (ie writing in a blog, producing a video), we are facilitating learners to become more media literate.

How can I integrate technologies into my class?
We are hoping to build a comprehensive web of pages that will be of help to teachers with this very question. We are still in process of developing these materials, but, for now, see Topic:Education and Technology and its links.

What are the limitations of technologies?
Perhaps we can make a separate page here detailing the particular challenges that specific technologies bring, and what strategies educators have used to deal with these...?

Perhaps at Challenges to using technology in the classroom (?)
