Developing coursework and curriculum is a topic in itself. I will do some research and link to useful guides. I did read up on building something called a Knowledge Base. Software companies have these so users can find answers to common questions. The indexing functions of the Wiki software will make this possible although there is also specialized software to develop a KB. | Developing coursework and curriculum is a topic in itself.

- My feeling at the moment is to make this a broader encyclopedia-type site, in which i can use certain pages as part of a curriculum. These pages probably need prohibition for free editing. --John Eagles 23:46, 17 December 2011 (PST)
- Here's the outcome of today's prayer and meditation about the purpose of this site:
I would like to make it entirely a website to present and moderate training courses. That means that it won't just function as a regular encyclopedia. There are several useful encyclopedia already on the internet, for example the Wikipedia, the New World Encyclopedia. This is not just about providing information and knowledge, but it is to help people in their efforts to grow internally, to acquire useful skills and knowledge and to practice it. All information presented should be part of a study course, or a practical course, or a religious course. There can be several courses and we can invite people to write a course. For example, i know someone who could write a course to learn the craft of cabinet-making. Much information would be needed for that, probably many pages. But besides these pages there has to be a structure to guide a student through the course, probably including tests. Charles could write a course to make wine. Etc. Of course i shall write courses based on my expertise. There could be more than one course in learning the Divine Principle. We can help students to go through such a course using all kinds of learning aids, videos, diagrams, tests, etc. --John Eagles 09:33, 18 December 2011 (PST)
Developing coursework and curriculum is a topic in itself. I will do some research and link to useful guides. I did read up on building something called a Knowledge Base. Software companies have these so users can find answers to common questions. The indexing functions of the Wiki software will make this possible although there is also specialized software to develop a KB.
I'm entirely in agreement that while there are many encyclopedia, practical application and training, remote learning, is lacking. This is true in many areas I believe are important so this can be a resource to fill that need and the more genuinely useful it is, the more people it will reach. I suppose that eventually, it could function as an online university of sorts. The sky's the limit when you harness the power of Wikinomics.--Charles 12:42, 18 December 2011 (PST)
