Talk:Extraordinary School Project

Introduction
This is a long range project, and will possibly be part of my Doctoral Thesis when I enter into that phase of my education. I wanted to have the project page created to start putting down ideas until I reach that point. Most of the ideas behind this school are being co-developed in other project on wikiversity. --Jacob Walker 23:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Self-Running System
The concept of self running needs more exploration, and will be a major portion of this project. The idea behind this is to utilize students as much as possible in doing the functions a school needs to have done, so they can help lower the cost of running the school, and at the same time improve their education. Further, every teacher who was at the school would both teach, and do part of the work of the school. To accomplish such a system, the school would need to be carefully designed, because sometimes students doing tasks does not make the task quicker or cheaper, and also there are some tasks that may have risks that a student should not do at a certain point because of safety and insurance. There are also privacy issues, that would need to be looked into, such as should a student have access to records of other students? This will probably be one of the largest parts of this particular project. --Jacob Walker 23:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Improved Techniques
I have seen and heard of techniques for improving memory and stuff, like " speed reading", "speed arithmetic", "super memorization", etc. These should be explored to find out which ones are real and useful, and implement them. This is a large research project in and of itself, and may need to have its own research project on Wikiversity dedicated to it, if there isn't already one. --Jacob Walker 23:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Quick Thoughts

 * Dvorak Keyboard? (Would it improve efficiency enough to be considered for teaching)
 * Teachers receive 1 hour of prep/research time for every 1 hour of classroom time.

Questions and Answers
A Question: What are "Brieves"?

 * Oh, maybe, in my English schools they used these words for the paper on which the subject of research is proposed ... do you have a word people would be more likely to understand?

 * N.B.: New Participant Brook Hsu uses the term "brief".

 * Perhaps "Thesis" connotes something on the order of "Brief".

 * Are "brieves" "briefs"?

 * Wikitionary User Brian 0918 has "brieve" on his Hotlist; otherwise Your Servant does not find it on Wikitionary.

 * Again, it is possible that "brieves" could be "theses".

 * This Question might want to go to the Colloquium.

 * (s) Dionysios (talk), Date: 2007-07-02 (July 2, 2007) Time: 120801 UTC

TO DO LIST
About the architecture of the division : and if you feel like adding me tasks, please do, PLEASE DO !
 * "The various Departments articulate their architectures, classes, and Discussions. Truly Teaching could not be only online ; and much Learning can result from discussion." Understand this and apply this thinking in the architecture. My belief is Wikiversity is a place to "accumulate" experiments, not compare and create definitions, it's not as "cannibal" as Wikipedia ... I LOVE WIKIPEDIA THOUGH !
 * Create a page for each new brief.
 * Make an attractive layout, with titles headlines, colours, thematics...
 * Create images and galleries.
 * Propose some answers to the first brief, myself
 * Contact people to raise opinion, compare positions ...
 * School of Art and Design Make sure we have links to our school within this page
 * Fine Arts Portal and also Media Portal Make sure we have links to our school within this page, let's exist here.

Simple notes, not to forget

 * To create pages and think of the arhitecture : Topic: namespace. Departments and subdivisions link to learning materials and learning projects. Subdivisions serve to organize several related departments. For more information on subdivisions and departments look at the Naming Conventions.
 * Colloquium, and experienced Users.
 * Repalce the opposition teacher and student by Participant and perhaps User

 * }

Hi Una, I unfortunately missed the recent discussion you started at Colloquium - but I've just left a question there. I'd be very interested in where you chose and why - specifically, what it affords that Wikiversity doesn't. Thanks. Cormaggio talk 20:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Images on SAR mission 2008 01
Hi! I'm involved in a bit of a clean-up of non-free files used on Wikiversity, and I came across File:Summit3.jpg, File:DOG TRAINING TRAIL II.JPG and File:F41088a1-crop.jpg. The resource is extremely impressive, but since those files were uploaded with come to have tighter restrictions on fair-use images based on a resolution from the Wikimedia Foundation, in that non-free images need to meet the exemption doctrine policy. What that generally means in practice is that we need to add a fair use rationale to go with the fair use claim. This isn't a big deal, and I was going to write one (and will happily try and do so if I don't hear back from you), but I thought I'd stop by and confirm that those particular images are needed, and that a free equivalent won't do the job. My guess is a definite yes for both maps, so the only one I had doubt over was the tricycle, in that there are some free-use images of tricycles available. :) Thus my first query is whether or not you feel the photo has to be of that particular tricycle (in which case I'll just state that in the rationale), or if a free-use equivalent (of the same or different colour, and a different model) would be ok from your end. The second quick question is whether or not you know the source of the files, so I can add a reference.

Sorry to drop this sort of administration stuff on you. My plan is to get things back in line with policy, so that the images which are a real concern can be handled easier. :) - Bilby 07:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Just curious - why the name "Freeman"? Is it named after a person in particular, or does it signify the "freedom of (wo)man"? Cormaggio talk 22:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I was lying awake last night, trying to decide on the name... Freeman is from the literature, but I'm not entirely sure it works. Any suggestions?Open Research 07:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

primary education
Many people who edit Wikiversity are college students so Wikiversity has an existing bias towards college-level content. We have been thinking about possible ways to make Wikiversity more friendly to participants who are interested in non-college-level content. If you get a chance, please look at Pre-tertiary portal and Main Page/Draft version 0.2. --JWSchmidt 17:23, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Interesting!

 * Hum!!! Interesting templates.  Robert Elliott 19:56, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

We don't know what we are doing...
Previously, you said :
 * Whereas Wikiversity is a place for lessons (as far as I've been able to tell so far), these Primary ESL pages seem to contain lesson plans. That is, they're aimed not at primary school ESL students but at primary school ESL teachers. It would be a shame to just toss this stuff, it would be far more useful to expand on it but is this the place and if not, then I wonder where is.

Reply :
 * No one at Wikiversity has the foggiest idea what we are doing. Lot of people are running around saying "this and that" is what we do but no one has actually done anything.  (After 8 months full time, I am just barely getting started.)

 * Therefore, if whatever you want to do is in any way educational, you can do it.

 * In about ten years, we will all look back and see what direction we should have taken here. But for now, you are on your own to decide what is possible.  No one else knows.  Robert Elliott 05:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Community arts and design

Welcome to the Centre for Community Arts and Design

What is Community Arts and Design?
Community arts and design stretches across a wide variety of media including theatre, contemporary arts, dance, music, art, design and fine art. The emphasis is on encouraging the use of the arts to support the development of communities to encourage social, cultural or environmental benefits. It is all about | what the arts can do for society.

Learning Resources
This is the place for collections of learning materials (courses) or links to learning materials, for learners to use directly. A list of courses run elsewhere is below.

Teaching young children oral storytelling skills. By Tony Wilson and Creative Partnerships

The arts debate: public enagagement in the Arts By the Arts Council

Courses run elsewhere
Postgraduate Diploma in Community Arts Practice at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. A one year course for graduates of the Performance Arts (Dance, Music or Theatre) who wish to apply their skills to community and participatory arts work.

Community Arts Funding

 * For UK please add to the list of funders and the list of current funding opportunities maintained by the Voluntary Arts Network, and the Research funding schemes of the Arts and Humanities Research Council
 * For other countries, add links to the funding lists maintained by national community networks and higher education funding bodies.

In browse Mediawiki player
The player doesn't work with short files, such as words of different sizes:
 * Word samples

a1 syllable long word En-au-caught.ogg

a three syllables long word, En-us-abstinent.ogg

Image:En-us-Albuquerque.ogg

A file with three words such as Image:En-us-George Walker Bush.ogg loose the last word:

However, the player works well with long texts:
 * Text samples

Therefore, the records need two or three seconds unspoken spared at the end of the files.

Learning vocabulary activities
The meaning is not the only aspect a language learner should focus on when learning words in a second language. Learning vocabulary requires learning many different aspects of the words: spoken and written form, collocation, appropriateness, grammar, frequency, association and meaning. The dictionary is an efficient tool for learning some of these aspects, but there are many other ways for learning vocabulary. In the next activities I explore how the different aspects of word learning can be achieved by using wiki-quizzes.

Listening and comprehension

 * Receptive knowledge of the activity: how is the word pronounced?

 * Productive knowledge of the activity: how is the word spelled and written?

 * Incidentally, the learner also acquires receptive knowledge on collocations, such as the appearance at the right size of numeric data of "°F" for temperatures, "percent" for percentages, "times" for comparing sizes and "kms" for distances.

 * Listen carefully the first section of the following article and fill in the blanks:

{ { seventy } percent of the Sun is made of hydrogen.
 * type="{}"}

{ The temperature of the Sun is over { five thousand } °F at the surface.
 * type="{}"}

{ The surface of the Sun is over { a million|one million } kms.
 * type="{}"}

 * More information in Names_of_numbers_in_English

Grammar
The same kind of quizzes can be used for grammatical patterns of words. For example:

Fill in the blanks with one of these verbs. Choose either the verb + to or the ''-ing' form.

Squeal    -      stick     -     kiss    -    work

{ You will enjoy it as much as you would enjoy { sticking } that dainty tongue of yours out of the window. (from Cat and Mouse in Partnership by Brothers Grimm)
 * type="{}"}

{ Here, youngster, stop { squealing }. The dark never hurt anybody yet. (from The Jungle Book (Her Majesty's Servants) by Rudyard Kipling)
 * type="{}"}

{ In my childhood I could not imagine a more afflictive punishment than for my mother to refuse { to kiss } me at night. (from Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë)
 * type="{}"}

{ We promise { to work } for permanent peace in the world so that a new generation of Americans will never have to know the horrors of war. (from Proclamation 7099 by Bill Clinton

This activity trains the learner to use reading strategies for guessing the meaning of words in a cotext. The learner must use contextual clues, such as grammatical class, function of the word, cotextual information and knowledge of the world.

This practice has the difficulty that the learner does not get any morphological information of the word. But, on the other hand, it prepares the learner to be in front of texts containing unknown words. Thus, this activity is very convenient for vocabulary learning because there are numerous evidences of the existence of correlation between reading and vocabulary assimilation (Ferris; Kiyochi; Pitts, White & Drashen; Anderson, Wilson, & Fielding, 1988).

{ { Deforestation } is the conversion of forested areas to non-forest land use such as arable land, pasture, urban use, logged area or wasteland. Generally, the removal or destruction of significant areas of { forest } cover has resulted in a degraded environment with reduced { biodiversity }. In many countries, massive deforestation is ongoing and is shaping { climate } and { geography }.

Associations

 * Receptive knowledge: what other words do certain expressions (environmentally friendly, environmentally unfriendly, at home, transportation) make us think of?
 * Learning burden: some of the words included in this exercise refer to devices which may not be well known in countries where this technology is not being used. In those cases, the learning burden is higher for the learner because he or she cannot associate the English word to an equivalent word in the mother tongue. Furthermore, such new devices may not have a widespread translation into languages where they are already being used.

Getting started with Digital Puppets

If you want to do animation, I would like you to animate my movie "Seduced by the Dark Side!" using 3D cartoon figures. To do this, you will:

1. Use DAZ Studio (which is free) to do the character animation (not the movie set.)

2. Use Bryce 5.5 (which is free) to do the movie set animation.

3. Use cartoon animals from 3D Universe / DAZ Stuio. You have a choice of one of these models:

1. The Three Bears  (The mother Bear and the Baby Bear)

2. Toon Penguins (A small Percy with a hat and scarf plus a big Percy)

3. Toon Croc  (The same figure large and small but with different skin textures.)

Once you have tried DAZ Studio and if you like it, I will send you a gift coupon to purchase the 3D figures for the movie.

Things to do now:

If this sounds interesting then you need to:

1. Download DAZ Studio.

2. Download one of the free models from 3D Universe such as Staci or UG. (http://www.3duniverse.co.za/)

 * 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: 10px;" |

Casting
The first step will be to find the digital actors you want for your motion picture. This requires the same care as casting live action actors. You need to find the characters which help tell the story you want to tell.

When you select the characters, these characters will greatly shape the meaning of the motion picture.

Also the selection of the characters for your motion picture will decide what kind of voices you need for the characters.

As an example, look at the list of possible characters for this movie. See how each of the options gives a completely new feeling to the motion picture.

Percy and Son
Here is a single figure from 3D Universe which is ideal for this story.

Kiki and Koshini
I don't have any public domain photos of Kiki or Koshini. There are digital puppet from Lady LittleFox. Neither comes with clothing. So the clothing must also be researched.

Who else?
Look at the websites for Poser, DAZ, and Runtime DNA to find other digital figures that you like.

Your first decision

 * Your first decision will be to locate the digital figures that you will want to use to make this motion picture. For figures without cloths, you also need to find the clothing.

The first step
The first step will be for you to look at all the kinds of animation to decide which one you want to use.

The emphasis on this course will be digital puppets but you should consider all options before you start.

There will be a list of software that you should download and look at before you decide.

This will range from Toon Boom Studio demo to Bryce 5.5 (free).

Prerequisites
To begin this class, you must have completed all the other courses. This is because you will need the animatic which you created in the course on Basic Filmmaking which relies on the editing course and the film scoring course.

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 Anynobody. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Anynobody~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 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

To Model the Turing machine?
Since recursively substituted templates can perform a lot of tasks, it is natural to ask, can it simulate a universal Turing machine, i.e., can one build a model of a universal Turing machine with templates in principle, neglecting the pre-and post-expansion size limits?

The first obstacle is that the number of variables that a template can take is finite. We may try to go around this by category:replicator templates, such as or, which replicates. Suppose we start with a template call, 0 with 100 parameters, mostly 0, with a few 1's in middle. We may programme a it in such a way that it "freezes" when a 1 reaches its left or right edge and become just a string... it doesn't work.

Can we make the following work?
However, if we allow ourselves editing the "machine" page as well, we may try to let it produce longer and longer "machines" successively, with a three-level ("target, machine and machine producer") system, e.g. (something like) the code where the "machine producer" template:produce replicator would look like, e.g. produce replicator |}}

replicator|

where template:replicator/generate should be a copy something like template:replicate+0/generate or perhaps better template:rule 30 long/generate; and the templates template:noinclude and template:endnoinclude are the noinclude tags

Then we may altenate our edits between the "target" page and the "machine" page (in this case template talk:replicator and template:replicator respectively); whilst the machine keeps running on the target page, the "machine producer" (in this case template:produce replicator) keeps producing longer and longer machines on the "machine page".

The usage of Subst: has been around for a long time. It was there before I joined here.
20070615100759
 * Comment: Cormaggio, The usage of Subst: has been around for a long time.  It was there before I joined here.  People have always been using {{subst:welcome}}, and not {{Welcome}}.

And this is because people have found long ago that there is no simple way to use the same template to support both transclusion and substitution. What user:Anynobody did was the only way possible: type the name of the new user yourself, if you don't like leaving --> instead of the straight "Cormaggio" on Cormaggio's talk page. If we choose to do that, fine. Then we may support both "to subst" or "not to subst".

But then we need to talk. That is because we would all need to change habbit and type a bit more every time we  welcome a new wikiversiter. And at this moment I don't think it is worth it, to make everybody type username instead of

The reason that I reverted it immediately was because, leaving it like that would cause subtle changes to the usage, e.g. leaaving on the page, and not Hillgentleman/20070615093323, and which is what some people don't like. --Hillgentleman|Talk 10:07, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

This system is of course experimental. Thanks. Here is an easier version,

 * Comment: Here is an easier version, where the codes are hidden in a template. You can reply right here. And the page is also transcluded in my page, so I can read it.

Introduction to Tactics

Strategic Studies 155 - Introduction to Tactics
Welcome to Introduction to Tactics. This course is a first-year elective course in the Strategic Studies curriculum. Its active learning content should be the equivalent of about 30 hours of classroom time, and it is organized into classes. Each class has a discreet learning objective and a way (or ways) to reach that objective. This will be complemented by readings that are prerequisites to each course. The course is presented in a logical order, and one class may be built upon in subsequent lessons. The order in which you perform these studies, however, is not important. If you feel you'd prefer a different order, that is up to you.

Course Content
The intent of this course is to give the student a rudimentary knowledge of the tactics that formulate greater strategic planning in combat.

By the end of this course, you should know:
 * How tactics affect strategy.
 * Rudimentary tactics.
 * Why tactics are important.

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 Bangs. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bangs~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 23:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:03, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Klingon/Canon

Introduction
The original work by Okrand was The Klingon Dictionary (TKD), which provides a complete grammar, plus English-Klingon and Klingon-English translations. An appendix was added, and later works extended the corpus. Additionally Okrand interacts with the Klingon Language Institute (KLI), who record additional points of grammar and new words.

Canonical Klingon is considered to be that described by Okrand, along with some reasonable interpretation. This is the Klingon language taught by this department.

Many people have invented Klingon words and grammar, notably John Ford, who wrote The Final Reflection. The dialect of Klingon in this novel is called Klingonaase. The works of Ford and others are not canonical.

See also Klingon languages.

Collaboratively Building Concepts/Apartheid

Apartheid is an Afrikaans word. Translated directly into English it means "seperateness". The idea with seperateness was that the economic, social and political destinies of each racial population group in South Africa should develop seperately from the other. This was necessitated by the arrival in Africa of European settlers from the seventeenth century onwards. The European settlers saw themselves as economically, socially, moraly and politically more advanced than the indigeounous tribes that they encountered in Africa. The indigeoness African peoples, at the time of Colonialisation of Africa were decimated by:

1. Slavery - all the best people were removed from the continent to become slaves on another continent; (If you wanted to buy a slave, will you want a hardworking one or a lazy one? Would you prefer an honest one or a dishonest one?) 2. Inter tribal warfare - fueled by the need to capture people and sell as slaves; 3. Colonial powers - removing natural resources from Africa; 4. Disease - as a result of contact with foreigners.

The European settlers, first the Dutch and later the British, saw themselves as superior to the other races on the continent and wanted to maintain this superiority through the system of Apartheid.

Apartheid prevented the racial groups from mixing: Towns, schools, churches, public transport, marriage; all institutions were seperated on racial lines.

The Afrikaner Nationalist government succeded in ending the appearance of British rule in South Africa in 1948 and perpetuated the apartheid institutions that it inherited from the British. The English speaking South Africans sought to undo their hegemoney by supporting forces that rose to oppose appartheid. Thus began the first effective resistance against apartheid. However, the more it was resisted, the more the Nationalists sought to entrench appartheid. This eventually led to a relatively bloodless revolution with the establishment of the post Apartheid South Africa in 1994, when Mandela was elected the first black president.

All the institutions that supproted apartheid, including the law enforcement authorities were removed after 1994. This led to a rise in violent crime that caused the death of many more people than what was caused by apartheid or the struggle to overthrow apartheid.

GarageBand/Creating a simple melody

{| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto"
 * style="width: 60%; background-color: BlanchedAlmond; 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;" |

Create a simple melody which creates a mood.

 * Use GarageBand to create a melody which produces a mood.

 * Use either the Ben Boldt pages or Jam Pack: Symphony Orchestra.

Part 1

 * 1. Start a new project
 * Start a new project file in GarageBand.

2. Add a track
 * I like to keep the top track as a piano. So instead of changing the first track, I create a new track with a virtual instrument.

3. Select an instrument
 * Select the virtual software instrument that you think will sound best for your melody.

4. Open the Music Typing window
 * For the typical filmmaker, Music Typing is a nice keyboard to use. The only problem is it does not capture the velocity of the notes.

5. Doodle
 * Turn off the metronome and just try to create a simple melody which creates a mood.

6. Adjust the velocity
 * Select each of the notes and adjust the velocity of the note. Sometimes is it good to have the first note slightly louder than the other notes.

7. Save your project
 * Each time you find a good tune, save it.

 * style="width: 40%; background-color: Lavender; 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: 100px;" |

Part 2
Save the project file.
 * 2. When you are finished, save the file with the name of the mood

Once you are happy with your melody, send me the project file. Done!
 * 3. Send me your results

{| cellpadding="20" cellspacing="5" style="width: 99%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto"
 * }
 * style="background-color: #f0f0ff; border: 1px solid #777777; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" colspan="2" |

Advanced techniques
In the exercise above, you used on only one track in GarageBand. If you wish, you can try to create additional tracks to enhance your sound of joy.

Option 1 · Add other voices or rhythms
Thicken the sound of your melody with other voices or delicate rhythms

Option 2 · Add chords
Add extra notes which harmonize with the notes of your melody.

 * }

{| cellpadding="20" cellspacing="5" style="width: 100%; background-color: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto"
