User:Kyra.bradley

Hi, My name is Kyra, and I am a recent graduate of Fountainhead College of Technology in Knoxville, TN. One of the things that we worked very hard on during our time in our bachelors program was Technical Writing. I found that I enjoyed it very much. Therefore I am working on my Technical Writing skills as much as possible to follow this course and path as closely as possible in the IT world.

Below you will find my exercises for comment:

Exercise 1

Audience Analysis

Wiki Contibutors

 Known:
 * most have a strong sense of global contribution in the case of knowledge
 * have a desire to share knowledge freely
 * have specific areas of knowledge or wisdom
 * may or may not be confident in the truthfulness in what they contribute, but in general believe themselves to be honest and to be helpful. source:
 * might lose sense of contribution if paid for information. source:
 * have come to a terminology of types of contributions: wikignomes, wikifaeies, and wikielves.
 * might also be determined as "adders" (add new information) and "synthesizers" (synthesize and integrate existing information)
 * can be grouped as Individualistic or Collective in their approach

Unknown:
 * economic status
 * employment status
 * age/sex/race/religion/sexual orientation
 * relational standing (i.e. how they are perceived in real life by family, friends, acquaintances)

Targeted audience:

Chris is a middle aged person who has contacts with family and friends. (S)he works, and has a some college. Their job background, hobbies and interests have provided them with a specific and extensive knowledge base in certain areas. They do have a limited amount of knowledge about other interests. As a result they contribute to wikis on subjects that they are certain of, and those that they have knowledge in, but might have to back up with research done on the internet. They believe that they are helping contribute in a global sense to the information that exists. They also believe that what they contribute is true, even when it is not.

Exercise 2

The correct way to make instant coffee:

Because coffee is so varied these days and time is so limited there are a lot of offerings on the grocery store or specialty store shelf. These directions will be for a basic cup of coffee, but will follow with directions for 'tweaking' your coffee to your particular tastes.

Step One: It may not seem to matter in directions, but in the long run, which mug or coffee cup you choose can alter what your coffee will turn out like. First and foremost, know how much fluid your cup will hold. Do you want to add creamer or milk when it is done? Take that into consideration. Fill your cup or mug up to the point that will allow you to still add the milk or cream, if you so choose, and give you room to not spill. Poor off the water into a measuring cup and measure the ounces. This will tell you how much coffee you actually need to make. Mugs, travel mugs and coffee cups can be deceiving, make sure you know how much coffee you actually need to make so that you are not caught short or do not have 1/3 of a cup left behind.

Step Two: Once the cup is measured, measure out your water into a small sauce pan, stove top coffee pot or kettle. Heat your water on high, bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat.

Step Three: Measure out the coffee according the manufacturers directions and add to the water,stirring until all the crystals are dissolved.

Step Four: As you pour your coffee into the mug make sure you avoid dregs or undissolved crystals if there are any, by pouring slowly into your cup.

Step Five: Add you other components (i.e. milk, cream, creamer, shots, sugar, liquors, ice) as you choose to suit your tastes.

You are now ready to enjoy your cup of instant coffee. You may want to experiment with different brands and strengths as you may prefer one type over another and you may prefer yours stronger or weaker than the directions indicate.

Instructions on how to 'tweak' your instant coffee:

 * You can add different forms of 'cream' to your coffee. Anything from whipped cream to skim milk to non-dairy fat free creamers. below you will find listed some of the options for your 'cream':
 * Whipped Cream
 * Heavy Cream
 * Half and Half
 * Fat Free Half and Half
 * Whole Milk
 * 2% Milk
 * Skim Milk
 * Non-dairy Creamer
 * Fat Free Non-dairy Creamer
 * Flavored Non-dairy Creamer
 * Flavored Fat Free Non-dairy Creamer
 * Caffeinated Shot Non-dairy Creamer
 * Appetite Suppressant Non-dairy Creamer
 * Powdered Non-dairy Creamer

As you can see the list is quite extensive. Take a look at what is on the market and choose what fits your taste, pocketbook and health best.

 * As for sweeteners you can also choose from a long list of choices:

 * Sugar
 * Sugar In The Raw
 * Brown Sugar
 * Molasses
 * Honey
 * Sweet-n-Low (saccharine)
 * Equal(aspartame)
 * Splenda
 * Stevia
 * Corn Syrup

 * You can also choose flavorings to add to your cup of coffee, these can alter your coffee to fit your mood, there are also liquors that are quite nice to add to a cup of coffee:

 * Hazelnut
 * Vanilla
 * Cinnamon
 * Chocolate
 * Mint
 * Carmel
 * Raspberry
 * Irish Cream
 * Coconut
 * Amaretto
 * Rum
 * Many of these are available in a sugar free format also.

 * Other ways you can tweak your coffee:

 * Heat your milk before adding it to your coffee.
 * If you use a milk based product try foaming it with either a wire whisk or shaking it ahead of time.
 * Chocolate spoons are a nice touch to a cup of coffee, as are other dipping type cookies and short breads.
 * Purified waters can change the taste of your coffee.
 * You can ice your coffee by adding ice cubes or crushed ice, milk and sugar.

I see the movie... Thanks!
I see the movie. Thanks. I now can spend only one hour a day and most of that is uploading students assignments so it will be a while before the filmmaking course of fully developed. By the way, will we be given any notice before they pull the plug. I don't have copies of my content and I have not figured out a way to archive it. ~ Robert Elliott 05:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucratship nomination
Hi John, and Happy New Year! On the basis of a query, and an exchange probably a few months ago now (!), I have proposed to revive your nomination for bureacratship. I've done so on the Colloquium. Cormaggio talk 10:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

From Faus
--Faustnh 18:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

( In response to ... )

Hi JWSchmidt. Happy 2008. Currently I'm developing a project that makes me impossible to dedicate myself to biology subjects with the predisposition and effectiveness I think they require and deserve. I have some ideas since time ago, but my present personal circumstance is not the time for me to consider them. I guess I'll need to wait for some time. Regards.

Mission statements, motto contests and the like
Hi JWS. I'm lumbering around the various pages devoted to early Wikiversity history such as mission statements and the like, adding historical tags and pointers to what I think/hope are the latest equivalents. You may wish to check that I'm right, as my knowledge of early history and the purpose of some of these pages is rather poor. Check out my recent contributions and look for anything suspicious! I'm quite sure that half the time I don't know what I doing, and the rest of the time it's only little better. --McCormack 09:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

undefined Thanks for the links. I'll look into them when I've got time.Barbara Shack 14:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Possible Research
Thanks for the link. I‘ve started to read Dan Dennett's work. I followed the link from the Dan Dennett page to Deathbed conversion and wrote a new section,  Deathbed conversion. It’s also here. It won’t get deleted on Wikinfo. In the talk page of the Wikinfo article I wrote more. Perhaps Wikiversity may want to research how far the anecdotal material I gave can be confirmed by hard evidence. The Secular Web may have information. Perhaps Wikiversity may want to research how far what I and a few others wrote in the Magdalene laundry article is reliable. I’m sure most of the sources are reliable but some may need to be confirmed. It’s now nearly 10 PM in Birmingham where I live. I don’t know what time it is where you are. I’ll come back and write more tomorrow. Barbara Shack 21:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Life origins-Original Research
Dear Mr JWSchmidt

I would like to add a few lines to the "Life Origins" page at Wikiversity. Since their content, and that of the external link to which they point, can only be classified as 'original research', I ask you for your advice and consent. I was told this kind of material may, under precaution, be included in the Wikiversity pages (unlike the Wikipedia, from where they were correctly reverted, some months after I added them, unaware of its policies). I think you are well equipped to detect pseudoscience and I ask you therefore to submit my ideas to the criteria to which your 'pseudoscience' link make reference. If you think the content of my website does not suffice to determine its degree of 'scientificity', please let me know what your doubts are. I have been lately experiencing how hard it is for a person who is not a member of the academia to get his ideas through. That is why I hope you are not someone who thinks every important concept comes from Harvard or the Max Planck Institute, and help me increase the exposure of my work by granting me this space.

My URL is http://www.ecopoese.bio.br/ingles.htm

Thank you very much for your attention,

Raul A Felix de Sousa.

 * Maybe at the point where I rather dogmatically wrote "free oxygen on Earth is of biological origin" you could insert something about the idea of there being physical processes for significant non-biological production of atmospheric oxygen. My suggestion would be to include a link to a new Wikiversity page (you could call the new page something like The Ecopoesis model or whatever you think is most descriptive). On that new page, take care to explain exactly how you use the term "ecopoesis" and feel free to link to external resources such as your personal website. "help me increase the exposure of my work" <-- Remember, it is not the goal of Wikiversity to provide promotional links to "fringe personal websites". The goal here is to provide resources that help people explore their personal interests and learning goals. You could fashion part of your page (or a subpage) as a "debate club" or "a reading group" or as a request for peer-review of the "Ecopoesis model". On your new page, I suggest that you make an effort to include citations to previously published peer-reviewed research on attempts to understand the chemistry of Earth's atmosphere during the past 4 billion years. In other words, try to place your original research in the context of what other people think. --JWSchmidt 16:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Ecopoesis Model
Dear JWSchmidt,

I have followed your instructions and added The Ecopoesis Model to Wikiversity. The link in the "Life origins" page is not exactly where you suggested because I didn't see how to add it without breaking the logical sequence in exposing the subject. I you think it should be rearranged, please feel free to do it. The "Ecopoesis Model" page is basically an abridged version of the website, slightly modified to fit the educational purposes of Wikiversity and providing a few key references, also chosen and explained correspondingly. I welcome your suggestions for improvement.

Sincerely,

Raul A Felix de Sousa.

Not on IRC
Hi JWS,

Haven't seen you on IRC lately; usually you are a fixture there, so I wanted to say hi. It's not that you don't deserve a wikibreak (for sure you do), but I was wondering what was up. Hope all is well, and hope to see you around (if not in IRC, elsewhere on WV) soon. Take Care Historybuff 06:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Collaboration with the WebcastAcademy.net
http://www.webcastacademy.net/node/1962

Check it out with Jeff Lebow...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Lebow

 * Maybe you could start a page here at Wikiversity that would explain "The Webcast Academy". I'm sorry I do not have time now to investigate it. --JWSchmidt 03:22, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Welcome to The Webcast Academy. The Academy is a hands on, collaborative training center for people interested in learning how to produce and host live, interactive webcasts. You can learn more about The Webcast Academy at http://www.webcastacademy.net/, check out our resources, and register to post comments and questions in the forums. We are seeking collaboration for our Advanced User Modules, see the above link, as Wikiversity interfaces well with our Curriculum.

 * Please edit Webcast Academy to give a sense of what collaborations would be possible and worthwhile. Please also see Wiki Campus Radio (where the Wikiversity community is exploring webcasting), and perhaps leave a note on the Colloquium or for User:Historybuff who is currently doing some work on this.

age
how old do you have to be when you are a student on wikiversity?? i am only 13 years old but i reallt take intrest in these topics that wikiversity has.
 * Hi, you can take part here. Even younger persons can do (see e.g. Pre-tertiary portal). Just dig into what interests you here and try to find people in these areas. BTW: you can also have here other roles than being student. You could also be e.g. lecturer - we are in the virtual world here. Erkan Yilmaz Wikiversity:Chat  00:13, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikiversity Beta
Hello John. There is the first bot proposal for Beta in your talk page there. Please take a look.--ZaDiak 19:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey
You are busy in the real world, but we seldom see you around here anymore. I just saw a disambiguation you did on the page Language, and it made me think of you. Anyway, I hope things are well and that maybe you'll find some time for Wikiversity in the future when things shift. :-) --Remi 06:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice. Don't flunk too many students. : ) --Remi 05:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, try to convince someone to do your class in WV, then we will see more often again. Are you trying to convert the class already to true Wikiversitans ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 00:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Please Help
Hi, Im registered as Thuvack on wikiversity. I forgot my password & I've got a new mailbox at work. I think wikiversity still has my old email cause when I request for a new password, it gets send to my obselete e-mail box. Please help.

Or should I create another account?

Thanx!

 * Hello, are you sure you created that account ? I don't find such an account here, see . Did you try registering the account (not log in) ? And you have access to the "obselete e-mail box" or not ? Or was it just an assumption ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 13:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Draft policy on religious content
Hey, JWSchmidt. I've been reading your name a lot on the Disclosures talk page, and I wanted to ask if you'd take a look at a subpolicy I was asked to write - Draft policy on religious content. There's been something of a debate over whether or not some religions should be disallowed from inclusion @ Wikiversity, and seeing as how I quote you in my counterarguments, I thought you might like to contribute to the discussion (whether pro or contra to my position).

Thanks!
 * --Opensourcejunkie 15:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your response, and your POV. I replied to your comment on my page (for organization-sake). --Opensourcejunkie

 * Replied --Opensourcejunkie 08:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar...
Please don't think I just give these out for anything (this is only my second). However, I am awarding you this Mozilla Barnstar because you've probably done more than a zillion things for Wikiversity over your tenure here, even though you are busy in the real world at the moment. Also I just wanted to say thank you for mentoring me..

--Remi 07:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Hm, the seasons probably do change things too to a certain extent. :-) --Remi 00:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Film
Hey! Do you know what is happening with http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity_the_Movie?
 * Sorry, but I am busy in the real world these days. I still have an interest in educational video and it seems like Wikiversity itself could benefit from some easy to digest advertising. Like most things wiki, "Wikiversity the movie" needs some participants. --JWSchmidt 04:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Follow your star
I liked the follow your star logo movie you did, and in my trial and error learning, I managed to put it on the top of the project I work on Recovery_psychology But what I thought I would do is squeeze an fMRI picture, Maslow's hierarchy pyramid, or just a raw looking brain picture, like a collage of ecelectic psychology images to be squared left and right checkerboard in to my text...I have been browsing the different wiki pages, still haven't figured it out, I hope you don't mind that I consult you for your expertise--recovery psychologist 04:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Science
I read over your comments on science education, thinking with that in mind...to be honest with regards to Naming Conventions (which I need to reread over again, until I start to think that I believe that I have a conception of fathoming the idea of understanding it***please excuse the Monty Python) I think Recovery_Psychology is research but would it also be classified as Protoscience being that it is not yet an established science?--recovery psychologist 04:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Structure.. again
Hi John - there's some discussion on the Colloquium about namespaces and Wikiversity's structure - see here. I thought you might want to give your input. Hope to talk to you sometime soon in any case. Cormaggio talk 16:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedia Radio ...
There is a proposal for Wiki-radio (again) n:WN:Radio 62.56.54.110 20:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there a better link?--JWSchmidt 02:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes: n:Wikinews:Wikimedia Radio.--Juan 18:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * This is now being developed on Meta - Wikimedia Radio. Also see Meetings, which I've just set up. Cormaggio talk 14:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Something to think about (© darklama)
Darkcode (a.k.a. this guy) brought this idea up on IRC this morning, and it struck me as more your kind of thing than mine: a "Class Clock". This would be a project that would follow class offerings (and attendance?) by colleges and universities semester by semester.

I'm not sure where to start or where to go, but it seems to me that this might be a way to get brick/mortar institutions interested (at least the registrar offices), and could be an interesting research project (tracking class offerings to world events, etc.). Anyway, seems worthy of a summer brainstorm :).

Hope the classes are going well... I miss you! --SB_Johnny | talk 02:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It would be good to bring this kind of thing up more publicly, i.e. on the Colloquium. We could have a section specifically for proposals, or a whole subpage, as on Wikipedia or Wikinews. Cormaggio talk 14:31, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

James Burke
Hi John,

I have never heard of him before 5 minutes ago.--Daanschr 17:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

His project seems very interesting. I might be joining it. Here on Wikiversity, i don't see much happening of the things that i like to do. So, i hope to be part of an organization where some kind of momentum is going on.--Daanschr 17:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, coordination could be a good idea. I don't know how active they are. Maybe it only seems impressive on the outside.Daanschr 17:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I took another look at the website and i don't know if i will join it. There is nothing visible. Burke sells his books and asks for money. I think that i will be used for his money making if i join his website.--Daanschr 16:56, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: High School Biology
My main goal for the project is self-paced learning, but I am also trying to contribute resources for students and teachers in traditional schools. Any contributions you make will be greatly appreciated. The wikibook also needs a lot work, so help there would be great! Wesley Gray 23:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Try looking at the first lesson and the basic content of the first section wikibook. Lessons are basic and we try not to overwhelm learners with too much information at once.  Also try looking at other content in the Secondary Education portal.  Hopefully this will allow you to better orient yourself with High School level materials.  We can always edit really advanced information out, getting the content there is a little harder.  I hope you'll help add some of that content.  -Wesley Gray 14:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Poor edit summaries
Please do not write edit summaries such as "returning comment that was deleted by McCormack" because this makes a false statement. I did not intentionally delete anything by you. Something weird happened during an edit conflict. Please do not write my name at all in your edit summaries. --McCormack 17:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Custodian in beta.wikiversity
Im rjclaudio from beta.Wikiversity, and a pt-user. As Hillgentleman (a custodian there) sugested me, I start a discussion to name a custodian for wikiversity.pt in betawikiversity:Talk:Wikiversidade:Projeto and the users elected me.

So Im asking you, as a Bureaucrats there, if you can give me the status.

Thanks, Rjclauddio 16:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The project have nowadays only 3 users active, but I send a message to 2 more users that have made a edit in the past 30 days, so its 4 users + me.
 * I proposed me and other two users, one that is a custodian in wikibooks, and other one that was active in the past but not that much now.
 * I asked if its necessary to contact every user, even the ones that dont edit for many time, and the others think its not necessary.
 * The four users voted in me, including the two I suggested.
 * The discussion about what I have done is in another section of the talk page, if you need I can translate too, but to cite the most important, I restart the discussion about the model to use in wikiversity, how to proceed to import pages from wikibooks, and Im starting to read what we still need to do to move to "pt.wikiversity".
 * One user is custodian in wikibooks, and he offered his help if I had any questions about the tools.

 * The discussion didnt have many arguments cause we are a short project so everyone know about the edits of the others and it wasnt necessary to comment (and in pt.wikipedia we are acostumed to simply vote, and only coment if the user want.

 * If you want any other information Ill translate to you.

Viruses
Hi! I have a question about categorization. We have both Category:Viruses and Category:Virology with the same content. I think we should use just one (at least in this stage with several pages). The question is, which category should be used, or if one should be a subcat. of another. Computer viruses should go to another category, I think. Category:Virii is fixed now.--Gbaor 11:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Register an account here - I am online in case some probs happen. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 06:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I am also searching for possible ways (free to use software packages) to create learning material for offline use. There are many posibilities on the internet to do it, but there should be also few offline alternatives as well... Any suggestions? Another solution could be to download the ready to use webpages, and distribute them separately... This was just a quick idea, I don't know if (for example) the WV quizzes are functional offline --Gbaor 08:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Biology Portal upgrade
Hi John, I see there hasn't been a lot of activity in the Portal:Life Sciences talk page for a while so I came straight to you because of your interests and experience here; I hope you don't mind. I just made a complete revamp of School of Medicine in accordance, i think, with community discussions over the last while. I would like to discuss with you the possibility of doing the same with the Life Sciences Portal as I would like to see it not just as a "faculty" for university level courses like mine but it could also serve as a home page for the high school subjects in this area. I want to make it very easy to use and allow it to promote inter-project co-operation between different fields of life sciences and different levels of study too. I would like to know what you make of my suggestion. Thanks Go raibh mile maith agaibh 22:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

I am a high school science teacher. I have postgraduate degrees in physics, astrophysics and mathematics, and done research in both physics and science education. At the moment I am interested in Quantum Gravity and I intend to develop a study guide for the department.

Recently I have begun to develop a research program applying the techniques of lattice gauge theory to loop quantum gravity. My real name is David Horgan and I can be found at physics.org and facebook.
