wikispecies:User:Lonicera

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 Lonicera. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lonicera~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 23:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Wiki

First Thoughts... then Journals... then Blogs... now Wikis??
Before the advent of written language, one's thoughts remained private except when explicitly expressed to others in personal interaction.

When written language was created, humans acquired the ability to transcribe their thoughts to paper, and show them to others, but remained limited by their ability to make those pieces of paper widely available. It was at this time that the practice of "journaling" began to take on popularity. Humans were able to put all their feelings and ideas onto paper, and, if they so desired, show them to friends at a later date. Or, if they felt comfortable enough, publish their diaries and disseminate them. Through case examples, we have found that reading the diaries of individuals such as Anne Frank and Charles Darwin provides great intellectual as well as emotional insight to the rest of society.

This brings us to the concept of blogs. With the creation of the World Wide Web, came the possibility for all individuals to create their own websites. Essentially a public digital journal, blogs widely allow individuals to read each others most sincere thoughts and feelings, acting as a catalyst for massive acceleration in learning and consciousness on our planet.

Today, as our technological capabilities have taken on even greater sophistication, humans have build sites called Wikis. Wikis are sites in which any individual can edit and add to the content of the website. Though this concept may at first seem unsustainable, it has proven itself to be not only sustainable, but vastly superior to the website model before it. Put another way, the operator of a website may fear that with total malleability, his site would eventually be overtaken by vandalism and lose all credibility. For some reason this is not quite what happened with wikipedia. To understand why, it may be helpful to consider the underlying philosophies that would tell us whether or not a wiki site would be successful. The view that making your site a wiki doesn't work is founded on the assumption that over time, more vandalism than contribution will be added to the site, leading your page to chaos. The view that wikis do work, is based on the hope that over time, more contribution than vandalism will be added to your site, causing it to grow and improve forever. With Wikipedia, this seems to be what has happened.

Returning to the concept of blogs, a very prevalent belief within our society is that one could not write a blog as a wiki because, as assumed with all other sites, chaos would conceivably take them over. However, since this has not proven to be the case with Wikipedia, there is little to no evidence that this would in fact happen. If we use Wikipedia as a model, an individual that opened his/her blog as a wiki would ultimately be facilitating a never-ending qualitative improvement in the content of their page. Applying this model to every other site on the internet, humans have the technological knowledge to make any site a wiki. If we can use Wikipedia or any of Wiki Media's projects as an example, this would result in a net improvement in the content of every website on the internet, acting as a catalyst for insight and consciousness worldwide the likes of which had never before been known.

Taken as a microcosm of this enormous realization, one might wonder how it would be possible to do ones part and bring about this global evolution. The first, most obvious answer is to change the way you express ideas and emotions. When you are able, instead of putting them in a book or secure blog, add them to a wiki. Experience tells us that your creations will receive more contribution than vandalism. This discussion post is but one example. Anyone in the future who finds a more concise way to word this concept, or enlightening point to add can do so simply by clicking edit. As a result, every idea sent forth on the internet will ultimately grow in ways that they never before could, and actually improve as it goes.

The profound implication of this discussion point is as follows.

Together, we will create a world that is qualitatively better than we could in isolation.

So, once you are ready, stop thinking, stop journaling, even stop blogging... and start contributing to Wikis. Together, we will take the locks off of every aspect of our society as we awaken together unto A New Earth.

Wikiversity:Make no assumptions

This proposed policy is an attempt to address questions of audience and community in Wikiversity; who Wikiversity resources/projects are developed for, who will use them, and who will contribute to them (and how). The exception to this policy is Assume Good Faith - to assume as far as possible that people are trying to make a positive contribution to Wikiversity.

Make no assumptions

 * Age - Wikiversity is set up to serve learners of all ages and levels, and to involve people of all ages and levels in its development.
 * Ability (includes 'disability') - Everyone has a range of abilities and weaknesses in different areas. It is worth thinking here particularly of people who have a specific 'disability' (blindness, ...)
 * Access - Not everyone has high speed access to the internet
 * Quality - We are trying to ensure that Wikiversity resources reach the best possible quality, but a wiki is a work in progress, and therefore it is likely that a given resource is still in development. You can make suggestions about a resource's quality on its talk page.
 * Appropriateness - Wikiversity participants often write contents for learners without much thought on who might see it. Even if a page's description or introduction suggests otherwise, you should not make any assumption about its suitability for viewing by children or that it won't be found offensive by you or someone else. Use discretion as you deem appropriate before reading any pages or referring other people or children to pages.

These things can make a difference - but note that they also may not make a difference. A nine year old may not understand a passage of complicated text, but it is very possible that they can. An active contributor to Wikiversity may not have mastered some relatively basic wiki-editing syntax. A person accessing your resources might not have a high-speed internet connection, and therefore will not be able to easily download video. A person with, for example, autism may be fully able to participate in a learning community.

Examples of assumptions
The following are examples of assumptions that people could (and do) make, but which are not necessarily valid, or not valid at all.

Anyone can understand this resource
Again, not everyone is you. Not everyone is a native English speaker, not everyone knows basic trigonometry (just for example), not everyone thinks about what your resource assumes in terms of knowledge or skill. Where possible, make this explicit prominently in your resource (e.g. a note at the top of the page, saying that it is developed for a class of 13-15 year olds studying ancient Greece), and link to resources that might be of help in building this requisite knowledge.

Learners can't contribute learning resources to Wikiversity
Wikiversity is not simply about writing articles that others can use in their learning; it is about learning through participation. In other words, developing complex learning resources is not the only way to contribute to Wikiversity. However, developing a set of questions, or compiling a set of links about a given subject is itself creating a learning resource - and remember that this is a wiki, so it might simply be a starting point for a resource's development.

[X type of person] can't contribute to or participate in Wikiversity
Wrong. Wikiversity is for everyone - all ages, learner levels, and languages (though this is the English Wikiversity - you might find a language you're more familiar with in the List of Wikiversity projects or the Multilingual hub). If you cannot contribute to or understand a given resource or project, please say so by leaving a comment on the page's talk page.

Conditions for Learning Objectives Alternate Version

Introduction
The second component of a well-formed objective is the condition. Simply identifying the performance required from the learner is not enough. We also have to describe the conditions that affect that performance. In this lesson you will learn the definition of conditions and how to clarify the intended performance. Examples and information about what constitutes conditions will help the learner to correctly identify well-written conditions. A self-test will help the learner to remember some of the key concepts from this lesson. Topics include:

 * Defining Conditions
 * Examples and Non-Examples of Condition Phrases
 * Using Sample Test Items
 * Conditions Self-Test

Defining Conditions
Once the performance phrase is written for the learning objective, the learner understands what action, or behavior, is required. By including conditions to the objective, instructions are provided to the learner concerning "how" the performance is done. It provides the circumstances, resources, and supervision that the learner is given (or not given) to initiate the behavior. According to Robert Mager, the inclusion of the condition is to prevent misunderstanding. The condition helps clarify the objective so the learner knows what is expected of him/her. In a well-formed objective the condition provides the following:

 * It identifies what the learner will be able to use to meet the desired performance.
 * Given a periodic table of the elements, the participant will state the atomic number of hydrogen......

 * It identifies what the learner will not be able to use to meet the desired performance.
 * Without reference to the periodic table of the elements, the participant will be able to state the number of protons in titanium.....

 * It identifies the context or environment the performance is accomplished in.
 * During a simulation where the laboratory catches on fire, the participant will be able to implement emergency procedures .....

Resources for Conditions
For an objective, almost anything can be used in the condition. There are four primary categories - tools, references, aids, and contexts - that can be included in an objective. With reference to resources, the condition phrase is written specifying "what the learner will be given or not given"

Tools
A "tool" is usually some physical instrument that is used to accomplish a specific purpose. For learning objectives, the purpose is the behavior required by the performance phrase of the objective.

For example:
 * Given a voltmeter, the student will be able to measure the voltage....
 * Given a TI-X30 calculator, the student will be able to solve for the tangent....

Aids
An "aid" is a support for the performance of the objective that would be used on the job, or is needed to measure the behavior.

For example:
 * Given the emergency procedures checklist, the dispatcher will be able to demonstrate the initial response to a fire....
 * Given the reflection paper rubric, the student will be able to evaluate another students paper....

Context
A "context" is the environment or situation where the student will perform the behavior.

For example:
 * During a role-play scenario where a customer identifies their values and goals for investing money, the investment broker associate will be able to select.....
 * Given a recreation of the Cessna aircraft wreckage, the investigator trainee will be able to diagram the wreckage pattern....

Instructional design/Learning objectives/Alternate Version 3

Helpful Questions when writing Conditions
The intent of adding conditions to a learning objective is to provide clarification about what the learner must do and how they will accomplish the performance. Therefore, conditions should not specify what leads up to the performance or what must be done prior to the behavior.

When deciding how to word conditions some questions that will help to describe the conditions are:
 * What tools, resources, and job aids will the learner be allowed to use?
 * What will the learner not be allowed to use?
 * Under what conditions will the desired performance occur?

Non-Examples of False Conditions
One common error when writing learning objectives is to include instructional activities, teaching strategies, or classroom events that precede the performance of the learner. But a learning objective is concentrated on what the "learner" must do and how they will do it. It is not focused on an instructor's performance. For example:

 * After listening to the instructor's presentation, the learner will be able to describe Ohm's Law.....
 * After reading the chapter on electrical currents, the student will be able to explain Ohm's Law.....
 * Given adequate practice, the student will be able to solve Ohm's Law

The conditional phrases "After listening to this presentation.." ,"After reading the chapter on electrical currents...", and "Given adequate practice" do not describe the resources or environment that will be provided to the learner in the performance of the actual behavior. The phrases describe what leads up to the behavior which is the teacher's performance or an instructional activity.

A better example to the previous objectives would be:

 * Given a worksheet with a list of electrical laws, the learner will be able to circle Ohm's Law....
 * Given the voltage and resistance of an electrical circuit, the student will be able to solve for the current (using Ohm's Law)....

Non-Examples of Unclear Conditions
Another common error in writing learning objectives is a lack of specifics and clear guidance when creating the conditions phrase. Remember, one of the key points in adding conditions is to clarify any misunderstanding concerning the performance.

For example:

 * Given a book, the student will be able to diagnose a problem in a Volkswagen air conditioning system.
 * Given a dictionary, the student will conjugate 10 verbs in French.

A better example provides more description about the condition.
 * Given the Volkswagen-issued technical manual, the student will be able to diagnose a problem in a Volkswagen air conditioning system.....
 * Given an English-French dictionary, the student will conjugate 10 verbs in French.....

Practice and Feedback
With reference to the helpful questions section, choose the best answer for the following two questions? {Which of these conditions is a false condition? - ...With reference to the Volkswagen technical manual, + ...After the student solves ten problems using Ohm's Law, - ...Given a United States Map with the capitals and states,
 * type="[]"}

{Which of these is the best example of a condition phrase? - ...Given a book, - ...After the instructor's lecture on protons and neutrons, + ...Given the periodic table of elements,
 * type="[]"}

User talk:Erkan Yilmaz/Archive3

Hi Erkan
Thanks for the welcome, just finding my feet Jim Cuthbert is my name I noted that in the box below it had Sign your name and thought this was appropriate, If it is not shall I remove it ?
 * Well, we can not be sure if it is your real life name, but if you contribute with that user account people can see that you edited the page - you can take also other names if you like as login. Another advantage is also: at the moment there is an IP and user name, so it would be merged and takes less space in the database.
 * As I see you create new pages and add to them the according Wikipedia articles. Do you want to contribute also more ? Perhaps you would be so kind to tell more about what you plan ? Then we can also help you. Thx so far for your help, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 19:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok Erkan account created no plan as of yet!
 * ok, have fun around here. If you like, you can tell more about yourself on your user page. If you need something, just ask. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 19:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi Erkan,

I wanted to do something at work, so i liked to have the opportunity to be part of the reading group. The main reason for me to return to Wikiversity was because i wanted to do something with my time. I do have some ideas to develop Wikiversity, but they are very dependent of a similarity in wishes between me and other participants on Wikiversity. I know from my experience at Citizendium that there are many people with the same ideas as mine, regarding Wikipedia, so there could be a time when my ideas can become reality. What i want is a place on the internet where millions of people are discussing knowledge on an intellectual level. It doesn't necessary have to do with book reading, but books at least have a minimum level of intellectualism. With you i was able to be part of such a level, but we are only the two of us.--Daanschr 13:27, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we can reach what you have in mind (perhaps just needs some time). Anyways: thanks again for your participation. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 13:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

busy
"How are things in real life ?" <-- I am busy, but fine....wishing I had some time for the wiki world. --JWSchmidt 00:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

"Are you trying to convert the class already to true Wikiversitans ?" <-- I'm not sure I'd ever feel comfortable trying to drag people paying a high price for a professional education into an environment as experimental as Wikiversity. Also, its hard for me to generate much enthusiasm for putting highly technical and specialized information into Wikiversity....although sometimes when I have a chance I have started a page or two on advanced biology topics. It seems more important to give preference to coverage of topics that have a broader appeal and a higher chance of nucleating a group of collaborators. --JWSchmidt 03:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hey there.

Just wanted to say thanks for that prompt response. My account is up & going now. I hope to make more constant contribution now that i have sorted a few elements in my life. Keep up the good work

Possible mentor?
Hi Erkan,

As I'm submitting a GSoC application for the WV Technical needs stuff, I'm looking for possible mentors, and it would be nice to have one from within the WV community. I don't know your work commitments and so on, so I don't know if this is something you could possibly take on. Feel free to let me know what you think. Thanks Historybuff 07:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My first thought was: we don't even get going a WCR :-( Let me think more. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 16:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, WCR has been something that's come to the front burner a few times, but it hasn't ever reached critical enough mass to keep going on it's own, yet. I'm a persistant person though, and I'm not going away any time soon, so no worries there. The technical bits are all there for WCR, it's the human interfacing that I've lacked the time to concentrate on recently, but my hope is to simplify the tech process to the point where I'm not needed to run an individual session, but I'm just needed to feed and care for the overall process. I envisioned this process migrating to the Sandbox Server eventually, and I think I'll have to more aggressively persue that; for now, I've got a commitment of accessible server space, which will turn bandwidth into WCR master sessions.

All of that said, WCR is a spare time pursuit, and I would give the WV tech stuff my full attention if the GSoC application was successful. My concern now is that we could have a few things done, but since Mentors from the WMF are scarce, even a good WV focused application won't have a chance. I appreciate you being straightforward though. If you might not want to, could you suggest someone else who might be appropriate? And feel free to comment more, of course. Historybuff 10:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * see email, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 16:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Erkan, To reply to your talk page comment to me, yes, I think I responded to your e-mail. It'll be interesting to see if WV gets any nods from WMF. Thanks again, Historybuff 20:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Course Renaming Request:
Hi Erkan.

I need your help to rename a page in School of Electrical Engineering. The old course name is under the following link Psychometric test and Aptitude Tests under Orientation Box. I need this link to be in EE-PRE Electrical Engineering Orientation which is a Level 0 course or an entrance course.I dont want to create multiple copies of the same content.I think this is necessary and will help this course to mature if it is catagorized as an actual course, which it is. Please let me know once the above is done so i can start working on it, i've been working on a few ideas for this course. I hope I made sense.

Thanks in advance. - Thuvack 14:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Thuvack, while checking the links to this page: Psychometric test and Aptitude Tests: Preparing to be an Engineer I found that there are some pages linking to it:
 * Psychometric_test_and_Aptitude_Tests:_Preparing_to_be_an_Engineer. Also I noticed that these pages which link to there are created by the user User:Thuvhack.
 * 1. I guess that user is also an account from you ? That is why you asked before about your user login or ?
 * 2. Do you want to change the pages also ? seems to me they are mostly unfinished. Any ideas to continue some time ?
 * 3. btw: you can also move pages after 4 days have passed after registering your account Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 17:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Erkan.Yes there are about 6 unfinished pages, that im just about ready to finish :-).I was using that user name thats why i needed a new log-in so i guess you could delete that user name as well.Yes, I've done a few rough drafts and Im learning how that quiz template work that can feed back on learner answers.Don't understand your point 3 though :-(. Thanks for your help.-Thuvack 05:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course, take your time. User accounts can not be deleted, since every edit needs a contributor. But since no other user than you uses that account, it also could just exist like it is ? About moving: see also: Help:Moving, renaming and removing pages. About 4 days after you have registered your actual user account here at Wikiversity (which was 13:15, 31 March 2008) you will see a new button called "move" on top of every page. With that you can rename/move pages also alone. If still unclear I could give more info (picture?). Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 06:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanx, now i get that. I've just done re-editing links to the above.I'll edit links as i add content to pages. Thanks for you promt response.- Thuvack 09:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

rename
Good Afternoon Erkan,

We would like to retain the topic title "designing constructivist learning experiences" which you changed to "environment." There is a difference between the two terms. I wanted you to know that we were going to attempt to change the term back to the original. I failed doing this once. Is there a method to do this? Do you have administrative control over this function? We understand the nature of wikis and wikiversity: others can edit and make changes. This change is important to us and would like you to know that it affects the work we are doing.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best Regards, Shaun Hammer
 * Hello Shaun, I assume you are talking about this page: Topic:Designing a Constructivist Learning Environment ?
 * Please feel comfortable to select a name which makes it comfortable for you and others to work here at Wikiversity.
 * (the history to the page name: this was moved in accordance with user Anthonys, see here (and I have an email from him - only first letters shown: a@i.e. ))

 * A page normally can be moved by the move button (on top of every page) - probably this failed, because you did not try it with a Wikiversity user account which is registered since 4 days ?
 * I will move it for you and also inform user Anthonys.
 * I hope this all did not cause any inconvenience to you. In general anything in a wiki can be restored. So, please continue using Wikiversity as your learning space. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 21:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes. This is the page we want to change to. . . experience. Best, Shaun
 * Done, please have a look if everything is as you want: Topic:Designing Constructivist Learning Experiences, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 21:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I just see: above you used the plural and now the singular - I can rename it to any of which you like. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 21:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

School Talk Duplicate detected
Hi Erkan.While doing a face lift for Topic:Electronic_engineering I noticed that it is redirected from School:Electronic engineering which has a talk page School talk:Electronic_engineering.Topic:Electronic_engineering has the following talk page Topic_Talk:Electronic_engineering. I think the two talk pages have to be merged. Please help on this or correct me. Thanx! - Thuvack 11:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, both should be merged. I just have a comment before doing this, see here, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 15:40, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I have thought about it. Do you wanna do it ? You could do e.g. by copy + pasting the one in to the other. In the summary you can tell from where you have the content you added. Later you can add a template from here: Category:Deletion templates. What do you say ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 22:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Erkan, I Copied all comments to Topic_Talk:Electronic_engineering, then I did a Redirect from School talk:Electronic_engineering to Topic_Talk:Electronic_engineering. I hope I did not mess up. Thanks for the tip though.- Thuvack 07:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Say is there a way to clean up Redirected pages. In the Case of the above I think it correct to keep, School Pages and Delete/Redirect from Topic Pages. Afterall these are schools not topics. -Thuvack 08:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the copying Thuvack.
 * Well, the problem with deletion can be: some people have from external pages links to them. And if they get deleted and they visit again then they have a negative experience (they can though find the new page, but it needs effort, which some might not be willing to invest or can).
 * On the other hand: these redirects take space in the database ? Since they are created, they won't be deleted anyway form the database, because you need to restore them in case something was deleted by mistake. So a deletion would cause also "space" in the database.
 * But in general you can help us by improving the structure with pages if you notice something. And also: feel free to use the deletion templates from above, because you here just have one (my personal) opinion. :-( Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 16:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups Autoconfirmed users, Custodians.
 * Your user account here at Wikiversity was created 13:15, 31 March 2008: I think the time limit is either 4 or 7 days for new users to use certain functions here at WV. Can you please try now, if it works ?
 * If not: another option would be, that you email someone the pictures with the info about e.g. licence (see License tags and Uploading files) + description (see below) and someone uploads this and you confirm with a test edit on the file page later on, that the info is correct. But first try, it might work already.

regulate the use of the medicine, Pharmacy and dentistry ?
Thank you for your welcoming message.

I have a question, How are you going to regulate the use of the medicine, Pharmacy and dentistry....... etc pages? so that no one except health care professionals will read, edit and use it in learning or practice.

Because some people for example patients may use the pages to "diagnose" themselves and even "prescribe" medication or treatments based on what is written.

Note that not in all countries medications are strictly regulated, for example in some developing countries most medications are practically "over the counter" and any one can go to the pharmacy and get any drug.

Wish you good luck and sucess in all your efforts.--Ashashyou 21:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Ashashyou, thank you for your good observation.

 * >so that no one except health care professionals will read, edit and use it in learning or practice.
 * every page is readable by anyone at wikiversity and nearly all pages are editable, it is a wiki.

 * You are right, that people might "diagnose" themselves and even "prescribe" ...
 * BUT they should consider the General disclaimer, see also: Medical disclaimer. You could help us by also putting these on pages where you find it is appropriate. Or you can tell the pages here, if you like ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 21:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

it is supposed to appear like the ones before it. wish you could read it.--Ashashyou 21:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It is hard for everyone new to wiki. But the wiki syntax is fast learned. You can see here how my edit looks like:
 *  == regulate the use of the medicine, Pharmacy and dentistry ? ==
 * the == make the header
 *  :Hello Ashashyou, thank you for your good observation.

Timber washer in the shape of a star...
Perhaps someone should mention that the illustration that you use for barn stars is not a barn star. The image that you use is a timber washer which is shaped like a star.
 * A Barn Star is an decorative piece of artwork in the front of some barns which is a large star. It is probably three feet wide or larger.  There is only one per barn max normally.
 * The Timber Washer (as shown here) along with a bolt and nut is used to hold two pieces of wood together. This washer is about four to six inches wide. There will be about a dozen or more in a single building.
 * Robert Elliott 03:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Robert, thanks for your input, have learned again something. I took the image from Barnstar where it was described as: "The Original Barnstar"

Welcome to the Bloom Clock!
Hello,, and thanks for signing up as a contributor to the Bloom Clock!

To get started, all that you need to do is keep your eyes open for flowers on plants growing outdoors. Then, depending on how well you know plants, you can either try to find the plant using the global keys, or just check the master list where plants are listed by their scientific names.

Assuming you find a log page for the plant you saw, all that you need to do is click [edit] above the list of signatures, and add *~ on a new line below the last signature and above the line that begins with, which will make your signature appear on the profile page.

If you don't find a log page, just add an entry for the plant to the Master List using. Someone can then show you how to create a profile and log page for the plant.

If you don't know the name of the plant you saw, try asking on Bloom Clock/Unknown Plants using the template there. Photographs are very helpful, but if you don't have a digital camera, just give the best description you can and hopefully someone can identify it for you.

After you've logged 10 or more plants as flowering for your location, another bloom clock contributor will help you set up the categories and templates used to construct a key for your region, and try to match up your region to the global keys.

If you have any questions, ideas, or need something explained, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!--SB_Johnny | talk 23:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

After reading Isak Dinesen’s “The Blank Page”, I was more profoundly impacted by her grandmother’s statement: “Who then…tells a finer tale than any of us? Silence does.” about telling stories, rather than the rest of the author’s story. She further defines exactly what she means by saying: “And where does one read a deeper tale than upon the most perfectly printed page of the most precious book? Upon the blank page…”

Though Dinesen’s grandmother is speaking about the blank page as a platform for books of stories, it made me think about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. The highly popular letter was written by Dr. King after he was arrested for civil disobedience on April 16, 1963. But he wrote a good portion of it within the margins of newspapers because he initially wasn’t allowed to have a note book or sheets of clean paper. Letters also tell very compelling stories as well as respond to any given issue or incident. Dr. King wrote the letter as a rebuttal to fellow clergy who had criticized King for his civil rights works. As in Dinesen’s “The Blank Page”, I was struck by King’s prediction about the future of Christianity. “Yes, I see the church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists. It seems that he is warning of how disconnected people will become from church due to the flaws of humanity. “If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust,” he writes. What he said then saying seems to have come true especially in the post Catholic church pedophile scandals over the years.

Dinesen’s grandmother says in part: “When a royal and gallant pen, in the moment of its highest inspiration has written down its tale…” King was inspired to write such thoughts in a letter. Without question, the topic alone could fill the pages of a book. He is a different type of storyteller than Isak Dinesen, but they both arrive at the same conclusion: All words lead to unique and individual thought processes that may or may not be told as a story. Q: What does Dinesen’s grandmother mean when she says: “Be loyal to the story…Be eternally and unswervingly loyal to the story”?

Instructional design/User testing of e-learning courses/Reviewing Evaluation Fundamentals

Back to Topic: Instructional Design > User Testing of E-Learning Courses > Formative Evaluation Overview

ADDIE ISD Model
The ADDIE Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model ADDIE_Model is a generic ISD model that is used traditionally by instructional designers and training developers.

The five phases — Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation — represent a dynamic, flexible guideline for building effective training and performance support tools.

While the five phases may seem sequential because of the acronym, ADDIE, the phases can occur simultaneously or within other phases. A good example is evaluation.

Next, the evaluation phase and good evaluation practices are reviewed.

The E in the ADDIE Model - Evaluation
Evaluation is a critical quality assurance step. Evaluations must incorporate the good practices from the instructional field and the good practices from the software field to ensure the quality of their solutions. These include:

These practices are standard for evaluation, regardless of its occurrence in the ADDIE model. The next section reviews a particular kind of evaluation - formative evaluation.

Formative Evaluation in the ADDIE Model
Don’t let the ADDIE model above fool you – evaluation doesn’t just take place at the end, you should weave it throughout. “Formative” means to shape or transform and formative evaluations should be conducted at regular review intervals. So as you knit your ADDIE model together, remember to weave in your formative evaluation thread.

The purpose of every formative evaluation, regardless of context or curriculum, is to validate the instructional design and strategies to ensure the instructional objectives are being met.

The following presents a customized ADDIE model in action. Note that formative evaluations are conducted at regular intervals.

The formative evaluation milestones seen in the above illustration are:

 * Design Signoff
 * After a preliminary design is created, it is sent to key subject matter experts (SME)Subject_matter_expert for review, feedback, and acceptance.

 * Storyboard Signoff
 * This feedback is used to revise the storyboard Storyboarding.

 * Prototype Review
 * Next, a prototype Prototype is developed, providing another opportunities for feedback and correction.

 * Alpha Review
 * After the changes are made, the prototype is now considered an Alpha version Alpha_version where the instruction is fully developed and ready for review by the SMEs and client.

 * Beta Review
 * Changes to the Alpha version gives rise to a BETA version which is piloted to field users/SMEs. This is also known as user testing or usability testing. Here users with no history in the development of the course and who have similar characteristics of the target learner complete the instruction and provide feedback.

As the design of the course progresses, the concentration of the testing moves from content specifics to implementation and achievement of instructional strategies and verifying the objectives have been met.

As you can see, the final formative evaluation culminates in user testing, also know as BETA testing or usability testing. This user testing component is done before implementation for instructional use and is what this module is all about…

What is User Testing?
User testing typically follows alpha testing in the development of web-based instruction. User testing occurs when the courseware is released in real settings to users who are expected to report back any problems they find with the program. The testers should be learners who mirror the target audience. User testing can also used to evaluate the changes made as a result of alpha testing. User testing is typically the final formative assessment.

In e-learning solutions, designers not only need to assess the efficacy of their instruction, but also the quality and performance of the systems that deliver the instruction. For the purpose of this module, user testing in e-learning courses is formative evaluation conducted at the end of the development cycle. User testing of e-learning courses evaluates instructional objectives, software quality assurance, and the overall user experience.

Setting up, conducting and prioritizing information gathered during the user testing process is usually organized as follows. ..

 * Identify participants
 * For user testing of this module, ISD experts and graduate school students were invited to test the module as a sample population of the target audience.

 * Set up the user testing
 * Prepare for user testing by identifying any SMEs, the participants, the instructional materials, and equipment.

 * Conduct user testing
 * Managing the process during the actual user testing. (Check out the Conducting User Testing lesson.)

 * Evaluate the results
 * Check out the Analyzing the Results lesson

 * Implement the results
 * Once you've evaluated the user testing results, you'll want to make the final revisions to your e-learning course.

These are the basics needed to describe formative evaluation and user testing. The next lesson, Review Evaluation Plan will expand on this knowledge. But before going to the next lesson, test yourself yourself on this topic first - Check Your Knowledge 1.

User talk:Gtopala~enwikiversity

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 Gtopala. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gtopala~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)

Crocodile

Crocodiles are large reptiles that live in water. They are modern-day relatives of dinosaurs. This page can help you to learn about these living fossils.

How can you tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?
Snout
 * Crocs have long, narrow V-shaped snouts;
 * Alligators have rounded U-shaped snouts.

Teeth
 * When crocs close their mouth, some teeth are still visible.
 * When alligators close theirs, all teeth are hidden.

Size
Saltwater crocodile: 4.3- 5.2m Nile crocodile: 4.2m American crocodile: 4.1- 4.8 m
 * Crocodiles at birth are around 20 cm (8 inches) long - not much longer than your feet!

 * Depending on the species (there are 23 species!), adults may vary in size from about 1m to 7m, and can weigh more than 1.5 tons or over 3,000 pounds.
 * The largest recorded crocodile was 7 meters (23 feet) long [[Image:Parodyfilm.png|30px]] See a video of Gustav, the Giant Crocodile of Burundi (9 minutes; warning: fascinating, but may be scary; parental guidance recommended; contains some subtitles)

Speed

 * Crocodiles are very fast over short distances, even out of water.
 * The land speed record for a crocodile is 17 kilometres per hour (10.6 mph), by a galloping Australian freshwater crocodile.
 * Whilst some species can gallop, the fastest way for many croc species is a "belly run". They move like a snake, wiggle their legs. and their tail whips back and forth. By belly-running, crocs can reach speeds of around 10 or 11 kilometres an hour (around 7 mph), or faster if they're sliding down muddy riverbanks.
 * A human can outrun a crocodile and crocodiles being ambush predators they will not pursue you for very long.

Bite

 * Crocs have extremely powerful jaws.
 * Crocodiles cannot chew. They can only tear and swallow.
 * Crocodiles have 64 teeth, but they are constantly being replaced. A crocodile can go through over 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.
 * Each tooth is hollow, with new ones growing inside the old ones. The new tooth appears once an old one is lost.
 * The salt water Crocodile has the strongest bite.

Habitat

 * Crocodiles like warm environments. They do not like cold water.
 * Crocodiles are found in tropical areas, such as swamps and everglades of the southeastern U.S., Central and South America, Africa, Australia, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Borneo and Alabama.

Diet

 * Crocodiles are 'ambush hunters'. They wait for fish or land animals to come close, then rush out to attack. They grab their prey with their strong jaws, drag it into the water, then they roll over and over ('death roll'). This confuses the prey and eventually it drowns. Then the crocodile begins to eat.
 * Crocodiles mostly eat fish, other reptiles, and mammals, and sometimes other water creatures such as mollusks and crustaceans.
 * Stones are often found in the stomachs of adult crocodiles. Why?
 * The stones may help the crocodiles digest their food.
 * The stones may help the crocodiles to balance in the water (see ballast).
 * Crocodiles digest everything they eat, including bones and shells, because their stomachs are so acidic.

Life cycle

 * Female crocodiles lay eggs (about 9 to 90 eggs) and bury them in the sand.
 * Little crocs in some species make chirping sounds in their eggs when they are about to hatch. This tells the mother croc to dig them out of the sand nest.
 * [[Image:Nuvola apps arts.svg|30px]] Listen to the call of a baby crocodile (3 seconds).
 * Mother crocs of some species carry the hatchlings to the water's edge in her mouth, then watch over them until they are able to look after themselves.
 * Video of Nile crocodiles being born and starting their life (National Geographic; 3 minutes)
 * 99% of the crocodile offspring are eaten in the first year of life by large fish, lizards, birds, and ... adult crocodiles.
 * Adult crocodiles live to around 50 to 60 years; however, some have lived as long as 130 years!

Poems

 * [[Image:Nuvola apps arts.svg|30px]] The Dentist and the Crocodile (Roald Dahl, Dirty Beasts)
 * The Crocodile (Roald Dahl, excerpt from Dirty Beasts) sound file
 * How Doth the Little Crocodile (Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland)
 * The Crocodile's Toothache (Shel Silverstein)
 * The Crocodile (Gareth Lancaster)

Colouring-in

 * Alligator and Crocodile Themed Coloring Pages (coloring.ws)
 * Crocodile coloring (Google Image search)

Videos

 * [[Image:Parodyfilm.png|30px]] Steve Irwin in action with "Monty" at Australia Zoo (4 mins, youtube.com)

Educational Media Awareness Campaign

Goals
The goal of the Educational Media Awareness Campaign is twofold:
 * 1) To help educators make the best use possible of the internet in terms of finding media to use in their learning resources.
 * 2) To help educators integrate media into their learning resources both correctly and legally, paying attention to re-usability for others and permissions issues.

The educational media awareness campaign is targeted primarily at the primary and secondary education sectors, but is also of use for the tertiary, informal and other education sectors.

The background
The greatest problem facing authors of digital educational resources is (il)legal use of images/graphic content. Publishers, both electronic and paper-based, are constantly bombarded with submissions and uploads which have to be declined or accepted for image copyright reasons, and image copyright infringement is rampant in schools.

This is an absurd situation. It is absurd because in the last few years, the availability of well-documented, reusable and redistributable media resources from the internet has mushroomed. Wikimedia Commons offers in excess of 2500000 (two-and-half-million) legally re-usable, subject-related and excellently categorised images. Flickr offers another 60,000,000 (sixty million) legally re-usable images, albeit less well categorised and not always so obviously subject-related. With resources such as these, nobody needs to be illegally using images.

The Educational Media Awareness Campaign seeks to address this problem. The Campaign will combine the use of galleries of featured re-usable images, case studies on finding suitable media, lists of recommended internet media repositories, and tutorials on image licencing and documentation. In particular, the Campaign will usually seek to introduce educators to the educational use of Wikimedia Commons.

A multi-site effort
The Educational Media Awareness Campaign is a Wikiversity Outreach subproject which seeks to involve and coordinate with other educational and media sites.

The galleries and pictures of the day
The campaign's galleries currently include 104 selected and featured images, spread across 12 subjects of the typical school curriculum. The 100 images are carefully captioned and linked to sources of 1000's of related images, so that they can serve as entry points for educators. The 100 images are also divided into a number of dynamic pages so that they can feature on wikis as "pictures of the day", with a fresh picture each day. These rotating or dynamic page sections are available both for the whole collection and for each of the 11 constituent subjects.

Investigation and analysis of digital educational resources

With the progress of technology, digital educational resources are becoming increasingly diverse. Based on a survey of 82 undergraduates in our university, the use of digital educational resources shows the following characteristics: the students are more likely to use digital resources when their learning is self-directed; the search engines are the most commonly used when the students access digital resources; the students prefer to use the digital education resources by the traditional computer. To achieve the maximum utilization of digital educational resources, the educational providers should take into full account the characteristics of digital educational resources and the demands of the users

Mathematics
The most important kind of problem-solving is Mathematical problems. Mathematics is a subject consisting of only problem solving. There are many mathematical problem-solving competitions like quizzes, olympiads, integration bees, etc. A major percentage of these competitions include the International Mathematical Olympiad and its selection processes around the world. There are many other international competitions, which either follow the IMO pattern like the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad, or have their own distinct structure like Mathematical Kangaroo or Tournament of Towns. Apart from these, good problem-solving challenges can be found in form of elite entrance examinations around the world like IITJEE. But all the exams can be broadly classified as either subjective proof-based {Like IMO and ToT, here we'll call them 'Maths' Contests} or MCQ Application based {Like Kangaroo and IITJEE, here we'll call them 'Matics' Contests} Here, in this wikiversity school, the topics are divided under 18 chapters, 3 for each sub-topic.
