Droughts are becoming longer and more extreme around the world. Tropical storms becoming more severe due to warmer ocean water temperatures. As temperatures rise there is less snowpack in mountain ranges and polar areas and the snow melts faster. Overall, glaciers are melting at a faster rate.

'''Wikiversity''' is a [[Wikimedia Foundation]] project<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Opening_Plenary_%28transcript%29#Wikiversity_.2826:35.29 |title=Welcome speech |author=Jimbo Wales |publisher=Wikimania |year=2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.supload.com/listen?s=SI0OG2vN04i |title=Wikimedia Opening Plenary |website=Supload.com |author=Jimbo Wales |date=2006-08-04 |access-date=2014-01-17}}</ref> that supports learning communities, their learning materials, and resulting activities. It differs from [[Wikipedia]] in that it offers tutorials and other materials for the fostering of learning, rather than an encyclopedia; like Wikipedia, it is available in many languages.

One element of Wikiversity is a set of ''WikiJournals'' which publish peer-reviewed articles in a stable, [[Bibliographic index|indexed]], and [[Citation|citable]] format comparable with [[academic journal]]s; these can be copied to Wikipedia, and are sometimes based on Wikipedia articles.

As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, there are Wikiversity sites active for {{NUMBEROF|active|wikiversity}} languages<ref name="Sitematrix">[[Wikimedia]]'s [[MediaWiki]] [[:mw:API:Sitematrix|API:Sitematrix]].

== History ==
Wikiversity's data phase officially began on August 15, 2006, with the [[v:|English language Wikiversity]].

The idea of Wikiversity began with the initial development of the Wikiversity community within the [[Wikibooks]] project, however when it was nominated for deletion from Wikibooks, soon there was a proposal to make Wikiversity an independent Wikimedia project,<ref>{{cite web |author=Reswik |url=http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:History_of_Wikiversity |title=Wikiversity:History of Wikiversity |website=Wikiversity |date=2006-08-22 |access-date=2014-01-17}}</ref> with the fundamental goal to broaden the scope of activities within the Wikimedia community to include additional types of learning resources in addition to textbooks.

Two proposals were made. The first project proposal was not approved (2005) and the second, modified proposal, was approved (2006).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://wikimediafoundation.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Resolution:Wikiversity&oldid=90552 |title=Resolution Wikiversity |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |author=Invadinado~foundationwiki |date=2013-03-25 |access-date=2014-01-17}}</ref>

The launch of Wikiversity was announced at [[Wikimania 2006]] as an idea to:
{{quotation|host learning communities, so people who are actually trying to learn, actually have a place to come and interact and help each other figure out how to learn things. We're also going to be hosting and fostering research into how these kinds of things can be used more effectively.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Opening_Plenary_(transcript)&oldid=11012#Wikiversity_.2826:35.29 |title=Opening Plenary (transcript) |publisher=Wikimania |author=|date=2007-02-17 |access-date=2014-01-17}}</ref>|Wikimania, 2006}}

== Project details ==
Wikiversity is a center for the creation of and use of free learning materials, and the provision of [[v:Portal:Learning Projects|learning activities]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,135533-pg,1/article.html|title=Wikiversity Gains Momentum|last=Nystedt|first=Dan|date=2007-08-04|website=[[PC World (magazine)|PC World]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161225175440/https://www.pcworld.com/article/135533/article.html|archive-date=2016-12-25|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://chronicle.com/free/2005/12/2005121601t.htm|title=Wikipedia, the Free Online Encyclopedia, Ponders a New Entity: Wikiversity|last=Foster|first=Andrea L.|date=2005-12-16|website=[[The Chronicle of Higher Education]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051227071518/http://chronicle.com/free/2005/12/2005121601t.htm|archive-date=27 December 2005|url-status=dead}}</ref> Wikiversity is one of many wikis used in educational contexts,<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=http://www.itdl.org/Journal/Jan_07/Jan_07.pdf#page=19 |title=International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning |chapter=Wikis and Wikipedia as a Teaching Tool |first1=Donald |last1=Perrin |first2=Stephen |last2=Downes |first3=Brent |last3=Muirhead |first4=Elizabeth |last4=Perrin |first5=Muhammad |last5=Betz |journal=International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning |editor-first=Piotr |editor-last=Konieczny |pages=19 |volume=4 |number=1 |issn=1550-6908 |date=January 2007}} by Piotr Konieczny; International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning;January 2007, Vol. 4, No. 1.</ref> as well as many initiatives that are creating free and [[open educational resources]].

The primary priorities and goals for Wikiversity are to:
*Create and host a range of free-content, multilingual learning materials/resources, for all age groups in all languages.
*Host scholarly/learning projects and communities that support these materials.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Wikiversity_project_proposal |title=Approved Wikiversity project proposal |author= |website=Wikiversity}}</ref>

The Wikiversity [[Educational technology|e-Learning]] model places emphasis on "learning groups" and [[Experiential learning|"learning by doing"]]. Wikiversity's motto and slogan is "set learning free",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Learning |title=Wikiversity:Learning |website=Wikiversity}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Education/Wikiversity_model |title=Wikiversity learning model |website=Wikiversity}}</ref> indicating that groups/communities of Wikiversity participants will engage in learning projects. Learning is facilitated through collaboration on projects that are detailed, outlined, summarized or results reported by editing Wikiversity pages. Wikiversity learning projects include collections of [[wiki|wiki webpages]] concerned with the exploration of a particular topic.<ref>[http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Learning_Projects Wikiversity learning projects portal], Wikiversity</ref> Wikiversity participants are encouraged to express their learning goals, and the Wikiversity community collaborates to develop learning activities and projects to accommodate those goals.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Friesen|first1=Norm|last2=Hopkins|first2=Janet|date=2008-09-27|title=Wikiversity; or education meets the free culture movement: An ethnographic investigation|url=https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2234|url-status=live|journal=First Monday|volume=13|issue=10|doi=10.5210/fm.v13i10.2234|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170201231220/https://journals.uic.edu/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2234/2031|archive-date=2017-02-01}}</ref> The Wikiversity e-Learning activities give learners the opportunity to build knowledge.<ref name="Singh">{{Cite journal|last=Singh|first=Satendra|date=March 2013|title=Use of Wikiversity and role play to increase student engagement during student-led physiology seminars|journal=[[Advances in Physiology Education]]|volume=37|issue=1|pages=106–107|doi=10.1152/advan.00096.2012|issn=1043-4046|pmid=23471258|s2cid=12294204|url=https://semanticscholar.org/paper/97d1b8fb1ec438ffb9efde44440be2a34eb61438}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Hladnik|first1=Miran|last2=Polajnar|first2=Jernej|date=2016-12-21|title=Wikiji v izobraževanju - Po desetih letih izkušenj|journal=Andragoška Spoznanja|language=en|volume=22|issue=4|pages=73|doi=10.4312/as.22.4.73-83|issn=2350-4188|doi-access=free}}</ref> Students have to be language-aware in order to be able to correct their classmates.

Learning resources are developed by an individual or groups, either on their own initiative, or as part of a learning project.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.editlib.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Reader.ViewAbstract&paper_id=24981 |title=One Laptop Per Teacher: Content and Curriculum for (in-service) Teacher Training |first1=Ian |last1=Kennedy |first2=Delia |last2=Pass |first3=Roxan |last3=Cadir |website=Ed/ITLib Digital Library |date=26 March 2007 |pages=2564–2569|isbn=9781880094617 }}</ref> Wikiversity resources include teaching aids, lesson plans, curricula, links to off-site resources, course notes, example and problem sets, computer simulations, reading lists, and other as devised by participants&nbsp;– but do not include final polished textbooks.

Learning resources can be used by educators outside of Wikiversity for their own purposes, under the terms of the [[GFDL]] and a [[Creative Commons]] license (like [[Wikipedia]]).

Wikiversity "administrators" are metaphorically referred to as "custodians".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Project:Custodians|title = Wikiversity:Custodianship - Wikiversity}}</ref>

Wikiversity also allows [[original research]] (in contrast to Wikipedia which does not).<ref name="Singh" /><ref name="Nentwich2012">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tAf4FhXWS0kC&pg=PA95|title=Cyberscience 2.0: Research in the Age of Digital Social Networks, Volume 11 of Interaktiva, Schriftenreihe des Zentrums für Medien und Interaktivität, Gießen|last1=Nentwich|first1=Michael|last2=König|first2=René|publisher=Campus Verlag|year=2012|isbn=9783593395180|series=Interaktiva Series|pages=95}}</ref> Such research content may lack any [[peer review]].<ref name=Nentwich2012/>

=== WikiJournals ===
[[File:AIT Library - Wiki Journal of Science (cropped).jpg|thumb|''WikiJournal of Science'' on display at [[Athlone Institute of Technology]] Library, 2019]]

Several ''{{visible anchor |WikiJournal}}''s operate with an [[academic journal]] format on the Wikiversity website (under the WikiJournal User Group). Submitted articles are subjected to [[peer review]] by external experts before publication of an [[Bibliographic index |indexed]], [[Citation |citable]], stable version in the journal, and an editable version in Wikipedia. They are wholly free, offering open access to readers and charging no publication fee to authors ([[diamond open access]]).<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal |last=Shafee |first=Thomas |date=2017-11-24 |title=Wikipedia-integrated publishing: a comparison of successful models |url=https://www.hlinc.org.au/content/online-early/item/wikipedia-integrated-publishing-a-comparison-of-successful-models?category_id=12 |publisher=Health Informatics |volume=26 |issue=2 |doi=10.13140/rg.2.2.27470.77129 }}</ref> Some articles are written from scratch, and others are adapted from Wikipedia articles.<ref name="Aims & Scope" /> They therefore aim to encourage experts to contribute content creation and improvement (as authors and peer reviewers), and provide an additional quality control mechanism for existing Wikipedia content.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Shafee |first1=Thomas |last2=Das |first2=Diptanshu |last3=Masukume |first3=Gwinyai |last4=Häggström |first4=Mikael |date=2017-01-15 |title=WikiJournal of Medicine, the first Wikipedia-integrated academic journal |journal=WikiJournal of Medicine |volume=4 |issue=1 |doi=10.15347/wjm/2017.001 |issn=2002-4436|doi-access=free }}</ref> This activity started with ''WikiJournal of Medicine'' in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theconversation.com/why-getting-medical-information-from-wikipedia-isnt-always-a-bad-idea-59708 |title=Why getting medical information from Wikipedia isn't always a bad idea |last1=Masukume |first1=Gwinyai |last2=Heilman |first2=James |date=24 May 2016 |website=[[The Conversation (website) |The Conversation]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160525015412/https://theconversation.com/why-getting-medical-information-from-wikipedia-isnt-always-a-bad-idea-59708 |archive-date=2016-05-25 |url-status=live |access-date=2016-05-26 |last3=Häggström |first3=Mikael}}</ref> The sister journals ''WikiJournal of Science'' and ''WikiJournal of Humanities'' both began publishing in 2018.<ref name="Aims & Scope">{{Cite journal |last=Editorial Board |date=2018-06-01 |title=The aims and scope of WikiJournal of Science |journal=WikiJournal of Science |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=1 |doi=10.15347/wjs/2018.001 |issn=2470-6345 |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>Miles, D; et al.

=== WikiDebates ===
WikiDebates on Wikiversity allow compiling arguments of both sides on controversial topics such as the [[legality of cannabis]], to create an overview. For fairness, users are encouraged to add arguments of their opposing view too.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikidebate|title=Wikidebate - Wikiversity|website=en.wikiversity.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikidebate/Guidelines|title = Wikidebate/Guidelines - Wikiversity}}</ref>

== Languages ==
There are currently seventeen different Wikiversities: Arabic, Chinese, Czech, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Slovene, Spanish, and Swedish (locked since 17 June 2021); Wikiversity projects in other languages are being developed at the "beta" multilingual hub.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Main_Page|title=Wikiversity|website=beta.wikiversity.org}}</ref>

For newly established specific language Wikiversities to move out of the initial exploratory "beta" phase, the new Wikiversity community must establish policies governing research activities. Wikiversity may act as a repository of research carried out by the [[m:Wikimedia Research Network|Wikimedia Research Network]], or others who are involved in wiki-based, or other research. Wikiversity hosts original research in addition to secondary research, unless a specific language group decides upon no research. It is expected that researchers will respect and update guidelines for appropriate research through a community consensus process.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Scope_of_research/Policy/En |title=Scope of research on Wikiversity (in development) |website=Multingual Wikiversity hub}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Research_guidelines/En |title=Wikiversity research guidelines (in development) |website=Multilingual Wikiversity hub}}</ref> Currently the English Wikiversity hosts more than 376 research pages.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Category:Research |title=Category:Research |website=Wikiversity}}</ref>

==Reception==

[[PC World|PCWorld]] reported the Wikiversity project in 2007, when the most popular course was on film-making. It compared the project to [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]]'s "[[MIT OpenCourseWare]]", noting however that while free, MIT's offering was "not free enough for Wikiversity".<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Nystedt |first=Dan |title=Wikiversity Gains Momentum |url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/135533/article.html |magazine=PCWorld |date=4 August 2007}}</ref>

In their 2008 book on ''Empowering Online Learning'', Curtis Bonk and Ke Zhang noted that if "the Wikimedia Foundation can nurture credible resources and communities within Wikiversity, it will send serious shock waves throughout [[higher education]]."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bonk |first1=Curtis J. |last2=Zhang |first2=Ke |title=Empowering Online Learning: 100+ Activities for Reading, Reflecting, Displaying, and Doing |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZriODwAAQBAJ&pg=PA192 |year=2008 |publisher=[[John Wiley & Sons]] |isbn=978-0-7879-8804-3 |page=192}}</ref> Steven Hoffman, in his 2010 book on teaching humanities, wrote that Wikiversity could do for higher education what Wikipedia had done "for the traditional encyclopedia". Hoffman noted that Wikiversity courses could look much like traditional [[Distance education|online university]] courses, except that they were open in every sense. He did not expect Wikiversity to replace traditional universities, but could supplement them for "retiring [[baby boomer]]s" spending time and energy on "education as leisure".<ref>{{cite book |last=Hoffman |first=Steven J. |title=Teaching the Humanities Online: A Practical Guide to the Virtual Classroom: A Practical Guide to the Virtual Classroom |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AMzfBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT170 |year=2010 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=978-1-317-45898-2 |page=170}}</ref>

The [[Association for Psychological Science]] noted in 2018 that Wikipedia, often "Internet users' first source of information", is constantly changing in search of accuracy, accompanied in this by Wikiversity, its "lesser-known sister site".<ref name="APS 2018">{{cite journal |title=Students Learn Science Communication Through Wikiversity |journal=Aps Observer |url=https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/students-learn-science-communication-through-wikiversity |publisher=Association for Psychological Science |date=29 August 2018|volume=31 |issue=7 }}</ref>

J. Rapp et al., writing in 2019, commented that Wikiversity allowed readers to become active contributors; writing materials "can be regarded as a learning task for advanced Wikiversity authors in general." They noted that the Wikijournals differed from conventional journals in being transparent about reviewers' backgrounds, possibly facilitating interdisciplinary discussion, and in revealing the stages in the development of an article (by versioning).<ref>{{cite book |last=Froehlich |first=Annette |title=Embedding Space in African Society: The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Supported by Space Applications |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fhObDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA249|year=2019 |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-3-030-06040-4 |pages=248–249}}</ref>

It differs from [[Wikipedia]] in that it offers tutorials and other materials for the fostering of learning, rather than an encyclopedia; like Wikipedia, it is available in many languages. One element of Wikiversity is a set of ''WikiJournals'' which publish peer-reviewed articles in a stable, [[Bibliographic index|indexed]], and [[Citation|citable]] format comparable with [[academic journal]]s; these can be copied to Wikipedia, and are sometimes based on Wikipedia articles.
