Merger Discussion
This is the Start of something New. Let No Premature Mergers occur. -- Dionysios (talk), a Participant in the Wikiversity Institute of Thought, Date: 2007-07-14 (July 14, 2007) Time: 1944 UTC

I agree. Donek (talk) - Go raibh mile maith agaibh 15:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I also oppose the merger proposals and will go ahead and remove them. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:55, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

The Massive Recurrent Neural Network
Your Servant is quite taken with the words of Dr-now, which He Shared with Us on His User Page:

 * "I liken what is happening to the Internet to the recurrent neural network (shown above), which has properties similar to neurons in the human brain. The Internet is a massive recurrent network of pages and links, with human beings acting as the super-nodes creating and editing content and programs. This is creating a new type of consciousness or at least a new type of society. The mash-ups and open source creation that is taking place on Wikipedia and thousands of other sites are creating a new world. Let us make it a good one!

 * "Wikiveristy will allow diligent students to work on projects that further the goals of the whole group. Each participant who is an active learner, can excel to whatever aspiration he/she desires."

 * "Here is to the new days fully embracing innovation and invention. I believe if Open Source development is included in the curriculum, then the position and clout of the Wikiveristy School of Computer Science will be strong as if not stronger than the position of bricks and mortar institutions.

 * "While I am certainly no Blaise Pascal, I noticed in the painting below how he smiles. He is in the bliss of the enlightenment. Let us move Wikiversity forward with this attitude as we climb, stumble, and seek."

This gets at the point of all that Your Servant is attempting at Wikiversity.

After Dr-now, and with apologies to him, (So far as This Participant knows Dr-now has expressed no view on this Proposed Merger; and the Links are This Participant's and not Dr-now's, Your Servant says, "The Internet (read here: Wikiversity) is a Massive Recurrent Neural Network of Pages and Links, with Human Beings Acting as the Super-Nodes (Super-Nodes) Creating and Editing Content and  programs. This is Creating a New Type of Consciousness or at Least a New Type of Society. The Mashups and Open Source creation that Is Taking Place on Wikipedia and Thousands of Other Sites Are Creating a New world. Let us make it a good one!

Wikiveristy Will Allow Diligent Students to work on Projects that Further the Goals of the Whole Group. Each Participant Who Is an Active Learner Can Excel to Whatever Aspiration He Desires.

Here is to the New Days Fully Embracing Innovation and Invention. Your Servant Believes that the Inclusion of Open Source Development in the Curriculum Will Strengthen the Position and Clout of Wikiveristy to Beyond that of the Bricks and Mortar Institutions.

While Your Servant, as Dr-now, Is also Certainly No Blaise Pascal, He also Finds Pascal's Smile Captivating.

Let Wikiversitans also Remain in the Bliss of The Enlightenment. Let Us Move Wikiversity Forward with an Attitude of "Climb, Stumble, and Seek".

What Thought 5501.01 and its Many Cousins is all about is Massive Recurrent Neural Networking. Please: Let none ask Your Servant to tell Him what He means in this contribution. Every Significant Word is Definitively Linked.

The Content of Cognition and Thought 5501.01 will widely diverge. Cognition is Named; Not Numbered; Thought 5501.01 is Level 5000 The anticipated uses of these Pages are very different.

Your Servant would now request that the Proposal of Merging Cognition and Thought 5501.01 be withdrawn. Those who are involved with these Projects could be more productively Editing Pages than Debating Proposed Mergers.

(s) Dionysios (talk), a Participant in the Wikiversity Institute for Thought, Date: 2007-07-16 (July 16, 2007) Time: 0100 UTC

 * "Please: Let none ask Your Servant to tell Him what He means in this contribution. Every Significant Word is Definitively Linked." >> I don't think that linking to a page/definition removes any ambiguity, thereby annulling any need to ask and clarify what you mean. I think that all concepts are constructed in the mind on the basis of previous experience, and as a result of social and cultural factors, all of which is far too complex to predict. Personally, I'd rather we continue to ask each other to clarify what we mean in order to make explicit this process of meaning-making, and perhaps to understand our processes of cognition. To be honest, I find the above statement quite hard to read, and even off-putting - even though it is interesting... Cormaggio talk 16:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Links and Definitions not only do not necessarily remove ambiguity, but also sometimes Links and Definitions increase Ambiguity.

 * "The police are not here to create disorder, they're here to preserve disorder." -- Richard J. Daley, (May 15, 1902 ==> December 20, 1976) Mayor of Chicago, Illinois from 1955 to 1976.

 * Please: Let none ask Your Servant to tell Him what He means in THIS contribution. Every Significant Word is Definitively Linked. -- Emphasis added. Your Servant does not believe that his above contribution could be more clear.

 * "Yes, but, what do you mean by ... ?" can be an academic game whereby all forward progress is indefinitely postponed as academicians endlessly ask for finer definitions of smaller and smaller portions of text.

 * Surely "All concepts are constructed in the mind on the basis of previous experience, and as a result of social and cultural factors, all of which is far too complex to predict."

 * Your good point is well taken; and Your Servant fervently desires to be clear and to be asked for clarification when it is needed.

 * To "make explicit this process of meaning-making, and perhaps to understand our processes of cognition" are most worthy. These go to the purpose of this resource; but about What is the Merger Discussion?  We are being asked to Merge this resource with the Level 5000 Thought course and with the Cognition Department.  To do so would confine us horribly.

 * It had been hoped that Cognition would

 * "become part of a larger project about artificial intelligence and research on artificial cognition and artificial consciousness" wherein the Institute for Thought would undertake work in Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Cognition, and Artificial Consciousness.  -- Cognition Exchange

 * Are bandwidth considerations so great that we are to do all of this on a Merged Page or on haphazardly Merged Pages? Your Servant hopes not.

 * Let us remember that what this Discussion is about is the Proposed Merger of this resource with the Level 5000 Thought course and with the Cognition Department. Your Servant would rather not be asked what he means by his above contribution.  It should be very clear that his view is that Your Servant the Proposed Mergers of Cognition, Thought 5501.01: Cognition, and, now, Cognition Department should be withdrawn so that those who are involved with these Projects can get on with their work rather than Debating the Proposed Mergers.

 * While Your Servant has attempted, successfully, or not, to be eloquent in his argument, who could possibly ask what he means? He means that the Merger Proposals should be withdrawn.

 * Your Servant does not intend that his Statements should be hard to read, though he knows that a major part of his contribution was almost all Linked; and he apologizes for being off-putting; but he must defend these Pages.

 * Your Servant is pleased that you found the Statement interesting; he hopes that you also found it convincing. The Institute for Thought needs allies right now.

 * (s) Dionysios (talk), a Participant in the Wikiversity Institute for Thought, Date: 2007-07-17 (July 17, 2007) Time: 2139 UTC

 * On mergers, I think the main consideration is whether there are clearly defined parameters for what will be done on one page or another - where there is the possibility of collaboration on a single page (or group of pages), this should be encouraged; where there is a different subject/level/pedagogy, these should be defined, labeled, and the pages kept separate. The problem is not bandwidth, nor 'messiness' - but confusion (and hence usefulness). I can't see the clear parameters for the usefulness of many of these pages (and there are uncertain comments on some of their talk pages), so I would prefer their scope to be clarified before making any sort of comment as to whether they should be merged. Cormaggio talk 22:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your helpful comment. Your Servant trusts that so long as there is usefulness there will be no Mergers or so long as there is real progress toward usefulness there will be no Premature Mergers.  What makes Your Servant uneasy is the prospect of the loss of momentum which could occur if Mergers were made without due consideration for what the Participants anticipate doing.  Clearly these Pages are the Start of something New.  Your Servant, the initiator of the Pages, will continue to work to make them worthy.  If it does turn out that they should be Merged, his hope is that it can be accomplished in an orderly fashion.  He could ask no more.  -- Dionysios (talk), Date: 2007-07-18 (July 18, 2007) Time: 1635 UTC

Cognition is a general term for all forms of knowing (e.g. attending, remembering, reasoning and understanding concepts, facts, propositions, and rules). Cognitive processes are how you manipulate your mental contents. Cognitive psychology is the study of cognition. Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field that extends the principles of cognitive psychology to other systems that manipulate information. Cognition and the brain Non-invasive brain scanning allows correlations to be made between human conscious experiences and patterns of brain activity. Studies of both visual[1] and auditory[2] perception allow distinctions to be made between brain regions that do and do not show activity patterns that correlate with conscious experiences. Results from study of brain lesions, application of drugs, and electromagnetic disruption of the function of specific brain regions can be interpreted in combination with results from brain scans.

Cognitive therapy "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Aristotle

I have come to Wikiversity primarily as a student of the Urantia Book. As the UB teaches a great deal about the concept of teaching (a teacher of teachers is one of the most influential professions possible), I thought an explanation of the ideas therein would be of benefit to Wikiversity, as well as to people generally interested in the UB.

 * style="width:60%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

FrameForge 3D Studio

 * Probably, the best news of the decade is that you can download and use a demo version of FrameForge 3D Studio. Once you know how to use this program, you will find it extremely valuable.

 * Being only a demo version, it has some limitations. However, for our projects, the limitation are not important.  You can save your projects (remembering to save the project as a cross platform document) and send me your entire project file.

 * FrameForge 3D Studio is it is designs specifically for this purpose. And the programs is designed for filmmakers.  But it does take some getting used to.

 * style="padding:0em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;" |

 * style="width:60%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

DAZ Studio

 * Another program that you can use for creating 3D storyboards is DAZ Studio.

 * DAZ Studio is a free program which is useful but it is just a rough draft.

 * Once you learn how to use all the featurs of FrameForge 3D Studio, it is much easier and much more accurate than DAZ Studio. But with DAZ Studio, you have more models to select from (not free). You can also control the lights better with DAZ Studio.

 * The models for DAZ Studio (and Poser) are not free. Fortunately the figures are very inexpensive.  An entire cottage industry is hard at work creating new and exciting models. Examples are shown right.

 * style="width:60%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color: LightYellow;" rowspan="1"|

Poser

 * Poser is the original 3D posing program which is very useful but expensive.

 * Poser uses the same digital puppets as DAZ Studio. (Actually, more digital figures are compatible with Poser than DAZ Studio.)

Maya Learning Personal Edition

 * There are learning additions for many of the animation programs. Just download it and begin.

 * Unfortuately, the download for this free program is (I believe) about 125 Megs. I cannot download anything that large so I have not tested this.

 * Occasionally, disks of the free Maya Learning Personal Edition are available at trade shows. If you are lucky enough to find any of these on a disk, you can learn the animation software while doing this storyboards.

Reading club
Hi Chris,

I'm Daan from Wikiproject Historical atlas which flopped on Wikipedia. Here on Wikiversity, i am trying to start a reading club. I saw that you are interested in Global History. Perhaps we could make that a theme for a reading club, or as a topic on a reading club?--Daanschr 14:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Invite To Human Legacy Course
Hello! I saw that you have a strong interest in world history from your profile and discussions on various talk pages. Based on that, I just wanted to give you a small invite to a course that I made called the Human Legacy Course. This course is basically the broad subject of world history rolled up into one specific course. There is still a lot of work to be done on it, but students can enroll at anytime. If you have any questions regarding the course or anything at all, please do not hesitate to send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your time and cooperation.--MrABlair23 16:09, 24 June 2010 (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 Consaka. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Consaka~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.

Bloom clock stuff
Hi Kember. Thanks for adding some logs... just so you're not wondering where your sig went, I wanted to let you know I moved at least one log (Daucus carota) from the main text log to the plant log page (BCP/Daucus carota).

Also, are you close enough to Toronto that things blooming there will be blooming at more or less the same time where you are? I'd like to create a category for Toronto area to start building visual key pages. --SB_Johnny | PA! 12:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the Bloom Clock!
Hello, Kember, 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!

(Apologies for the long-belated welcome message... finally got around to writing one!) --SB_Johnny | talk 09:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

My name is Guy Warrick. My goal is to learn Spanish. I enjoy travelling to countries where Spanish is spoken. I would like to retire to Mexico if my health permits. I have been trying to learn Spanish from books, audio CDs, and anything else I can get my hands on. I have periods of strong interest but no way to test my progress so I also experience periods of very little interest. It goes back and forth. I thought this program was worth a try. It cannot hurt. Plus it's free.

Have a look at Technical Writing here at Wikiversity. It's evolving but should be relatively complete in another month. What about using this for your course content?

I'm now teaching the course using the wiki as a resource. I could get some classroom video made...just consumer grade cameras, and we'd need a place to upload the files...but it's a start.

Will check back, or please discuss on the tech writing course talk.

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 Neq. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Neq~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 23:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Learning Interests
Interested in learning about the art and science of photography. All tips and tricks on all areas of photography welcome. Would currently describe myself as a hobbyist (have some learning to do before I'd call myself an "amateur" shutterbug).

I also maintain a healthy and long-standing interest in foreign languages. I have studied French for a few years, and am currently dabbling in German, Russian, and Czech.

File talk:Plato's allegory of the cave.jpg

Technically, this is a poor representation of Plato's cave, which worked somewhat differently. The Jade Knight 11:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The shadow should not be a 'copy' of the spectator but of the ideas behind the spectator. What's more, the details (like the shape of the cave, the shape of the mountain-segment) doesn't help the understanding of the concept, much rather they are needless. To be constructive I suggest the usage of a section-like overview instead of the segment. But still it's hard to decide what to show in the shape of the shadow (precisely: what kind of idea). Concerning this problem, I would choose a symbolic depiction of the idea (like the character "I"). Here comes the sketch: [light source]->[idea]->[living people/ppl. of our world -- facing towards the cave wall]->[the shadow of the idea] where the arrows symbolize the direction of the lightest beams of light; And the image should be like this: [a lightbulb], [an edgy "I"], lots of space, [a small guy facing right (and inward) in a huge capital omega char.], [a dimly contoured "I"] So even if not better, this might be more educational. Being unnatural/caricaturistic in populating this image with pre-made illustrations might enphasize the allegoric nature of the concept.

Topic:CommunicationBeta
Hi Capi, good to see this page. Just wondering, did you copy and paste this from somewhere else in Wikiversity/Wikimedia? If so, it should probably be deleted and then moved from the other source (this then preserves the page history). If it's from Wikiversity, it can be done by anyone through the page "move" function; if it's from, say, Wikibooks, this would have to be done by a custodian, so I could do this for you. Let me know. Cheers, Cormaggio talk 10:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Streams
"the stream namespace?" <-- There is no stream namespace. It does make sense to link together related learning resources into a "stream" that can suggest a path for learners to follow. --JWSchmidt 14:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

The name "Stream Namespace" was create by someone long ago and appears on one of the basic templates for creating a lesson. As mentioned above, there really is no stream namespace. This template has never been fixed and is mostly meaningless. I recommend that you do not use this template. Robert Elliott 10:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Never Give In, Never Give In, Never, Never, Never -- In Nothing, Great or Small, Large or Petty
My Friend,

[http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=423 "I am addressing myself to the School -- surely ... this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." -- Winston Churchill]

Are you discouraged? Put it behind you. Does it seem to you as thought no one else is working on Communication but you? Keep on keeping on. Does it seem as though your efforts are taking place in a vacuum? "Nature abhors a vacuum." -- Spinoza You do more, please. Has Communication been left behind?; you go back and get it, please. Should you give up on it? "Never, Never, Never, Never." Should you gather people from WP?  Definitely. You want a suggestion?

Wikiversitans often have full plates. We do what we can. But, please, do not you give up. Your efforts are appreciated.

(s) Dionysios  (talk), Date: 2007-08-10 (August 10, 2007) Time:  1044 UTC

Belated response
Hi Capi, I'm very sorry for not getting back to you before now - I've been away, and in the meantime, I see that others have addressed your questions. As John says, there is no Stream "namespace" - there is simply an intitative to provide learning paths and organise people in collectively pursuing these learning goals. And as Dionysios points out, the fact that nobody else may be currently editing materials you care about should not discourage you from continuing - though it does, as you ask, beg the question around how to get people to become involved. Before asking this, however, I suppose you should ask yourself what this group of materials is trying to achieve? Is it a collection of resources to be used 'outside' Wikiversity, or is it designed to promote collaborative learning activity here on Wikiversity? This should focus on the answer to what kinds of people you would like to invite to these materials, and the activity around creating them (eg. a group of Masters journalism students who would like to create materials to be used in undergrad courses, or a high-school class who would like to work together on creating a radio programme). That's my initial thought - does that make sense? Perhaps you might like to broadcast your agenda on particular places on Wikipedia - its WikiProjects are often a good start - or how about Wikinews?. Otherwise, you could see what else is happening on Wikiversity, and try to connect with learning projects that are already in progress - eg. Wiki Campus Radio. Let me know what you think - I'd love to help more. Cormaggio talk 11:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Capi, sorry to take so long to get back to you. I have been away from Wikiversity quite a while and am just checking back. I like the broader approach your new Communications page takes. Might I suggest that you move the original to "Verbal Communication" or "Written Communication" or something else appropriate since that seems to its focus and then link to it on your new "Communications" page? Your page seems fine so far, I corrected a couple of minor typos and added a word where it seemed implied. There seemed some potentially interesting links that I may follow soon. Thanks for you efforts so far! user:mirwin

This week we are going to introduce the course, introduce BoeBots, and start laying the foundation for future work. The lab this week will focus on issues of safety and laboratory regulations. Once the ground-rules have been laid down, we can start to introduce the BoeBots.

We want to refresh things like SI units (especially for american students who do not use SI regularly), concepts about electricity, and safety concepts.

User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Motion and Navigation

This week we are going to discuss the concept of navigation, and we will introduce the concept of dead reckoning. The majority of this week will be spent in the lab, and some teachers may be interested to forgo part of the lecture, to give students more time in lab to perform the necessary tasks.

In lecture, we will want to cover more programming topics, including subroutines and control flow. Students will be able to apply these concepts to their robots immediately, and they will start to understand the code they were given in the first week better.

User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Electrical Components

Lecture will introduce some basic electric components (resistors, buttons, diodes, etc) and basic electrical concepts such as Ohm's Law. We will discuss resistors and resistor color codes.

In lab, students will be introduced to the laboratory equipment. We will reiterate safety protocols, and teach students how to use a digital multimeter (DMM) and a power supply. We will construct basic circuits to teach concepts such as parallel and serial resistor configurations.

This section will only cover basic electrical components, such as resistors and diodes.


text:
User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Lab

The most important thing to learn on the first day of lab are the necessary safety policies of the Lab. Students will be warned about the lab equipment, and will be asked to fill out a worksheet with all the necessary safety information.

Some teachers may also ask the students to sign a laboratory use contract. The contract will ask the students not to abuse or misuse the equiment, not to act in an unsafe manner, and to obey the lab instructor at all times. Students who break the contract later could be asked to leave the lab.

The first part of this lab will more closely resemble a lecture then any kind of hands-on learning activity. If the lab instructor is different from the lecture instructor, this may be a good time to get to know him or her.

The second part of this lab will introduce the students to the BoeBots. If possible, each student should receive a BoeBot, along with the necessary cables (power cable and serial programming cable) and a box to store the robot in.


text: User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Lab/Students


text:
User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Lab/Teachers

A laboratory setting, especially one with electrical equipment, can be dangerous. The instructor should not be afraid to be stern when talking about safety, and students who act unsafely should be removed from lab.

Pre-Lab Preparation
There should be an available BoeBot for each team of students, and a working computer loaded with the BasicStamp programming environment. Ensure that each BoeBot comes with a power cable, a serial cable, and possibly a full set of batteries.

Laboratory Rules
Discuss some of the important rules with your students. You may wish to talk about all the following:
 * No eating or drinking in lab
 * Turn off cellphones and other electronic devices
 * Remove all pieces of metal jewelry, fashion accessories that dangle from the hands or wrists. Long hair should be tied back. Students should not be wearing extremely loose-fitting clothing, or anything that would distract from mobility.
 * Do not play with buttons, knobs, or switches that the instructor has not specifically told you to use.
 * Do not use equipment that you have not been taught to use.
 * If you smell smoke, see fire or sparks, or see anything else that is out of the ordinary, get your instructor immediately.

As an instructor, you may wish to edit these rules as necessary to suit your own laboratory environment.


text:
User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Lecture

In the first lecture we will learn about the BoeBots and robotics in general. We will discuss some common uses for robots.


text:
User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Lecture/Teachers

The "Name Game"
It is common for a teacher to go around the room and ask each student to say his or her name. Since this is the first class of the course, we may ask the students to say their names, but also to name an example of a real-world use for robotics. Students should give specific examples of actual robots, not vague examples. For instance a student should say "The Mars Rover" instead of "A robot that drives a car".

As an additional exercise, have the student say their name, an example of a robot, and then repeat the name and example from the previous 5 students.

Introduction to the Course
If you have a syllabus, you should give one copy to each student. You should tell in advance when all the quizzes and tests will be, and how the final grade for the course will be computed. You may choose to use the example Syllabus.

From Wikipedia:
 * "Worldwide production was over 600 million metric tons in 2003 — just slightly more than rice or wheat. In 2004, close to 33 million hectares of maize were planted worldwide, with a production value of more than $23 billion."

 * 600,000,000 metric tons of corn produced in 2003 = 600,000,000,000 kg
 * 33,000,000  hectares of maize planted in 2003 = 81,543,000 acres = 127,410.938 mi^2 (New Mexico = 121,665 sq mi)

975.61 cal/kg in maize ....

suppose 6.5 billion ppl

need 2400 cal each...

2,400 x 6,500,000,000 = (1.56 × 10^13 ) x 365

15,600,000,000,000 calorise/day

15.6 trillion calories/day to feed the whole world

5.69400 × 10^15 calories a year to feed the whole world...

5,694,000,000,000,000 calories of food to feed the whole world for a year...

975.61 cal/kg in maize ....

5,694,000,000,000,000 calories / 975.61 cal/kg(maize)

5.83634854 × 10^12

5,836,348,540,000 kg of maize to feed the whole world for a year, hypothetically

5,836,348,540 metric tonnes... or 5.836 billion metric tonnes to feed the whole world for a year.. compared to the 600,000,000 already in production.... (as of ~2003)

600,000,000 / 5,836,348,540 = 0.102804004

127,410.938 mi^2 of maize planted in 2003....

127,410.938 / 0.102804004 = 1,239,357.74

so roughly and hypothetically... if you plant about 1.24 million square miles of corn you could feed the whole world for a year...

or approximately an area a little smaller than India.

... 1,239,357.74 mi^2 / 100 = 12,393.5774 mi^2...

~ Massachusetts or hawaii...

1 acres = 0.0015625 square miles

18.18 metric tonnes/hecrtre - strike that maybe...

"metric ton, also referred to as a metric tonne or tonne métrique, is a measurement of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms"

 * "2.471 acre 	= 1 ha = 	104 m²"
 * "107,639 sq ft 	= 1 ha = 	104 m²"

 * 82  x       80
 * 1000 x           1

User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/About This Course

This course is being organized into logical blocks. Each block corresponds approximately to 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab. In many settings, this is approximately 1 week worth of study, but it can be expanded or contracted to meet other needs.

Blocks
Every block has, at least:
 * 1) A lecture
 * 2) A Lab Assignment
 * 3) A homework or self-work assignment
 * 4) A quiz

The lecture notes will be set up for about 2 - 3 hours of lecture material per block. The lab assignments, also, will be set up for about 2 - 3 hours of material per block. Homework assignments should take about 1 hour to complete on average. Quizzes should take about 15 - 20 minutes.

Tests
Every second block will have a test that covers the previous two blocks. Starting at the fourth block onward, every second block will also contain a cumulative test option that will cover material from all previous blocks.

Instructors may decide not to have quizzes, tests, and cumulative tests all in the same block.

Tests are designed to take about 1 hour to complete. Cumulative tests are designed to take between 1 - 2 hours to complete and will serve as decent mid-term or final exams.

Activities
Every activity in a block has three components: An introduction page, a students page, and a teachers page. The student's page represents a handout, or other materials that are to be given to the students. The teacher's page represents the teaching notes and answer sheets that the teacher should see but the students should not. The introduction pages lay out the learning objectives of the activity, and other details that can be known by both teachers and students.

Term Project
Depending on the timeframe of the class and the available resources, Instructors may want to institute a "design project" that will span the majority of the term. Design projects can be started by the third block, and should be continued throughout the entire course. We will discuss some potential design projects in another chapter.

If the class is being taught for engineering students, a term project is recommended.

Students should work in groups of 2 - 4, to help reinforce the ideas of team work and interdependence. Instructors may require the students to prepare a multimedia presentation about their project, or write a report about the project, or both.

Instructors may wish to use class time to work on the term project.

User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Assignment

The assignment for this section is to read some relevant pages about robotics from related wikibooks. Students will read the necessary pages, and fill out some worksheets to show that they understand the concepts involved.

User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Assignment/Students

Part 1
Computers require very precise and simple instructions to operate. As a programmer, you need to think about tasks in terms of these simple instructions. As an example, can you think about how to teach a computer to make a sandwich? Explain how to build a regular sandwich (ham sandwich or Peanut Butter & Jelly) in as simple steps as possible.

User:Whiteknight/BoeBots/Robotics and BoeBots/Assignment/Teachers

Part 1

 * How would would you teach a computer to make a sandwich?:Here is an example of a list of instructions:
 * Find Peanut Butter
 * Open Peanut Butter
 * Find Bread
 * Open Bread
 * Take two slices of bread out of bag
 * Lay 2 slices of bread on a plate
 * Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread
 * Find Jelly
 * Open Jelly
 * Spread Jelly on other slice of bread
 * Put slices of bread together so that the peanut butter and the jelly are pressed together
 * Cut sandwich in half

What's the Point?
Some students are bound to ask "What's the point of this assignment?"

Like many things in science and engineering, the best way to learn a topic is through thought exercises and metaphores. Students need to get in the habit of thinking of problems in terms of small bite-sized chunks. If a student cannot explain how to make a simple sandwich (which they have probably been doing for years) then how are they going to explain complicated actions to a robot?

Grading
Everybodies list will be different, and there is no single correct answer. Student's whose lists are short (fewer then 6 instructions) probably didn't put enough effort into the assignment.

Some students may come up with very long sets of instructions, or very detailed instructions as well.

The Answers
One of the best ways to present the answers to this question is to let the class figure it out together as a group. Start by asking "What do I do first?" and then "What do I do next?"

If a student gives you an answer that is too complicated, say "That's too big, break it down into smaller parts" or ask "How do I do that in simple steps?" By the time you get through the whole process, the class will understand the concept better. Try to call on all the students, or at least avoid calling on any one student too many times.

Help page

I know - wikis have a learning curve attached to them - but you seem to be doing very well so far. :-) To respond to a message on your talk page - simply edit your talk page, just like editing any other page. Or, better still (and this is quite normal - etiquette even), edit the talk page of the person who left you the message. If that person has signed their name, you can go to their user page by clicking on their username, toggling to the "discussion" (talk) page, and editing that. There is also a feature on talk pages where you can click on a little "+" beside the edit button, which will automatically start a new section on the talk page. The main advantage to responding to messages on other people's talk pages, rather than your own, is that when that person logs in, they will get a "you have messages" notice near the top of the page - as you possibly already noticed yourself.

No problem about the page rename - if you ever start a page with a title that has a typo, or that you simply want to rename, you can always use the "move" button beside the edit button (you need to have been logged in for a few days - I think it's four - in order to use this feature). Choose the name you want to move the page name and execute the move - it's dead simple - and don't worry, as with everything, it can be undone/redone. The only thing to bear in mind is that this will leave a "redirect" page in the old pagename - which can be good if many pages link to the old page - but if no pages link there, it can be simply deleted. You can always request a page deletion by messaging me - by email or on my talk page - or adding the page to http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion

About the philosophy link from the search bar - this could be a number of things. If you type in "philosophy' in the search bar and choose "go" (the default option) you get redirected to the School:Philosophy page . Is this the one you are trying to add a link to your page from? You can add a link to your page by adding the page name within double square brackets on the page, which will add a link to your page. Note that, for internal Wikiversity links, you only need the page name, and not the full url, so, to add a link to your page (from any page), you would add Historical Introduction to Philosophy/General Introduction to any page within Wikiversity. More help on linking can be found on: . If, however, you added 'philosophy' to the search bar and clicked "search", you would be brought to a list of pages that are about philosophy (though the Wikiversity search capability is not comprehensive,a nd some pages may be missing). To ensure that all pages about philosophy are findable, it's a good idea to add at the bottom of your page, and then every page that links to that category can be found at:  (which also contains some more specific sub-categories).

Regarding "fair use", this is when things get *very* complicated. There is huge debate about whether wikimedia projects should claim "fair use" - particularly as this is not applicable in every legal jurisdiction (ie country), and Wikimedia projects are very much an international initiative. Some projects do allow fair use, and some don't - see this page on meta: , which has links to individual projects' policies. We haven't worked out a policy on Wikiversity yet - but the best option is *always* to use free/open content (ie content which does not have any copyright restrictions). This, after all is a large part of what we are doing across all these open content projects.

I realise this all might be complicated - and if you've any questions, please don't hesitate to get back to me. This is much learning to be done in participating in a project like this - particularly at the beginning - something which might be interesting to reflect on as a learning activity - I'd like to improve http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wiki by actually using our collective experiences - if you're interested at all. In any case, welcome to Wikiversity - and genuinely looking forward to learning more about philosophy - it's a large part of my preparatory work for my PhD.

Cheers,

Cormac

PS: If you want to link to your Wikiversity userpage instead of your wikispaces one, you can add User:Mlanaduncan from any page - it might be good to put some text - even simply "hello" - on your userpage, so that your userpage is a blue link, rather than red (which indicates that the page doesn't contain any text yet).

Talk:Introduction to Christianity/The Christian Faith

Since this is a portal on Christianity in general, nothing should be particular to one faith. If it's in the Bible, that may be adequate, but references should be provided.

The "laws" and "rituals" lists seem to belong to some denomination. Unless there is something in the Bible which explicitly numbers the number of laws and rituals of Christianity, these should be removed, or renamed. Also, where in the Bible does it say that there are seven gifts of the Spirit? I believe the number should be removed—there are a great number of spiritual gifts that exist. The Jade Knight 02:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * This was done without much thought, in an effort to stimulate some interest, that's why there are no references. The "laws" and "rituals" are arbitary headings to show continuity between the Old (i.e. the 10 commandments) and New (i.e. the 3 Loves) Testaments and the many Old Testament scrificial etc. rituals replaced by the (few) New Testament ones. I do think this should be reworked into study material that substantiates these (or agreed) points while still keeping them as a quick overview for the unfamilar reader. PeterMG 17:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

 * On reflection, the changes made are an improvement, except the faith in Jesus. The critical issue between those that believe in Jesus and Christians is over his identity. This can be (and has become) a contentious issue that divides Christians. I am not sure how to proceeed because any references I provide can easily result in a war of references, which may, or may not, be beneficial. PeterMG 17:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

 * If it's a major point of disagreement within Christianity, it should not be included. I think everything here needs to hold true for Christianity in general—we do not want to exclude anyone, if possible.  The Jade Knight 05:46, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

 * If virtually all Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God, I see no reason to not reinclude that. My edit was primarily intended to focus on the other aspects of that sentence that are more universal, rather than whether or not belief in Christ as the son of God is.  The Jade Knight 05:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I take your point, only I was trying to express the faith according to Scripture, not how it is generally perceived. However, the Bible study courses I've been on refrain from making categorical statements, but rather provide references and then pose pointed questions about the text. Perhaps we could do the same here, let Scripture do the talking and allow readers to draw their own conclusions? PeterMG 03:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I think, for discussions of things among those who are already Christian, that method could be particularly helpful. However, for non-Christians, it might turn many away, and it leads to the problem of them understanding the scriptures in question (often which pack centuries or more of history or culture behind the reading of them), and if a translation were to be used, which translation—that alone could be a matter of great debate.  Christianity is, unfortunately, a complicated subject.  The only real effective simplification of it I've seen that I found convincing was that put forward by C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity.
 * As just one example: While I think the Hebrews scripture would be effective in discussing the concept of faith among Christians, I think most non-Christians would have a very hard time understanding it.  I even have a hard time understanding it, but I was raised on the KJV, and feel more comfortable with it in scriptural discussions.  Introducing people to Christianity on a communal level will be no mean feat in this project, I'm afraid.  But I'm sure if we put our heads together, we can come up with something effective.  I'm actually thinking that using C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity may be a perfect starting point.  Have you read the work?  What do you think of this idea?  The Jade Knight 08:08, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Regardless of all this complication, I do feel that it is a good thing to include scriptural references. The Jade Knight 08:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * However, for non-Christians, it might turn many away<-- That's true, but I don't see it as a 'contributor' problem. The choice of studying Christianity (which is why they're here) is left to the individual. The objective is to present Christian theology and doctrine, not to win souls for Christ, increase the number of 'Christians', nor pacify non-believers with a NPOV. I am aware of Paul writing, "I am all things to all people, so I might save some." (1Cor 9:22). Paul, however, spoke and wrote to specific people, so he could adjust the Gospel to each audience. We can't do that here, but need to discover the interests of those who visit wikiversity and address their needs. PeterMG 01:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If a particular translation is impossible to agree on, simply quoting the reference should serve well enough for most cases. Where conflicts arise, comparing the translations used (with respect to the original text, not each other) might resolve the difficulty. PeterMG

 * I'm not suggesting that the point of this project is to "win souls for Christ". At the same time, I really think we should try to be clear and simple here, and it seems to me that this project is more designed for those who know less about Christianity (as opposed to those who know more).  If it's our presentation that's turning people away, then we're doing something wrong.  If it's simply Christianity which is, well, that's another story entirely.  The Jade Knight 04:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to My Humble Wikiversity Abode
Hello, I go by Mickey. While not unfamiliar with the Wikimedia sites (and wikis in general), I am fairly new to the editing side; so far (July 2007), I have only made minor content edits, thus I am not too familiar with the wiki markup, and will need some help. But don't worry, I have always intended to learn--and I'm also ready to contribute.

My first--and ambitious--project is to found the Hebrew Department, and supply a few primers.

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 Mina. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mina~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 23:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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 17:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Television Engineering/Scope

Television engineering is seen as an aggregation of several different disciplines namely in the electrical / electronic engineering field. The lines are somewhat blurred with respect to which discipline is more dominant. These lessons seek to explore first an overview of television engineering as a whole and further to get down to specifics for individual cases. As this section expands and evolves, so might the scope. But for now it is limited to general discussions and some specific areas to focus on.

Hi Ivana82, there is an Arabic Department here (but not with much material yet) - you might be interested in looking at Arabic stream to see who else is interested in learning, and who could help you learn. There are some fluent speakers there - you might do well to contact them via their user talk (or "discussion") pages, or by the "email this user" on the left hand side of their userpages (if they have set this up). There is also a textbook on Wikibooks about Arabic. Hope this helps, and that you find someone. Please don't hesitate to ask anything else if you've any other questions.

 * An easy way to add this entire form to your page is to type the words   in the edit window of your blank page and then "SAVE PAGE".  The formating and text of the blank lesson page will be copied into your lesson page.  Then you can select "EDIT" again and begin modifying the page.  (This method seems a bit dorky but it works.)

 * Option 2
 * Or you can simply copy all this source code (or some part of it) into the edit box on your new page and then you can begin to modify this page.

Introduction to Robotics

Preface
This course is going to be broken up into logical instructional units that will generally correspond to a university-based course of study. No rigid time line will be enforced, although the ordering of the material should be maintained. Each block of material will roughly correspond to 1 or two weeks of combined lecture and lab. Teachers should feel free to break this material up as needed to maintain the pace of the class.

This course will require that students have access to a BoeBot, or similar device. BoeBot's can cost approximately 150$ for a complete startup kit. Because of the expense it will be tempting to have multiple students in a group. However if the groups are too large, there will be a tendency for some students not to participate as much as others. Groups should be kept to 2-3 students each.

 * /About This Course/

Part 1
Computers require very precise and simple instructions to operate. As a programmer, you need to think about tasks in terms of these simple instructions. As an example, can you think about how to teach a computer to make a sandwich? Explain how to build a regular sandwich (ham sandwich or Peanut Butter & Jelly) in as simple steps as possible.

Part 2
On the first page of the wikibook Robotics, read the section Defining Robotics.

Which of these studies would be considered robotics based on this definition?
 * 1) Studying the strength and flexibility of a titanium alloy used to make a robotic arm?
 * 2) Integrating sensor data from sonar, laser, and CCD cameras and to build an accurate map of surroundings?
 * 3) The real-time software needed to drive two motors to make a robot go in a straight line?

Classify each of these as a robot, a mechatronic device, a machine, or something else?
 * 1) A spam email filter.
 * 2) A garage door opener.
 * 3) A remote controlled boat.
 * 4) A 1970's automobile.
 * 5) A current model automobile which includes lane-following.
 * 6) An Apple IPod.
 * 7) An actor in a silver suit.

Part 3
On the first page of the wikibook Robotics, read the section Defining Robots. Next, read the page Types of Robots. Name the various types of robots, and if possible name an example of each.
