From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"OLS" stands for Online Learning Skills.
Although the course is fully credited by the mpi (see under "technical stuff"), it remains open source/open door and is guided by constructivist pedagogical principles. As you've seen, the course is a subpage to my user space "User_talk:Inawe". As long as it does not show the maturity to be published elsewhere, it's a good place to be. We feel honored to be hosted by the unique learning platform Wikipedia.
In other words, this is a draft of an online course that intends to give you all the info and skills to work and research most effectively on the Internet. No matter which department, sciences our humanities, communication in a group (we call that 'round table') functions along certain rules that need to be practised before excellence can be achieved.
As many higher education reports show, Wikipedia is probably the most conducive learning and research environment for our experiment.
Each learning unit starts out as a pool for topic related stories (C). These stories are submitted by course participants. The published material is peer-to-peer discussed within the unit. A story could possibly be the prototype for a later article in Wikipedia.
The official Wikipedia Android app (2.3.150-beta) is a great tool to reach the set goals. We prefer Android because most of our participants work exclusively on smartphones.
The course has 15 units.
Each unit is divided into
- (A) Goal
- (B) Intro
- (C) Stories
- (D) Sources
