Regeneration of ice age seeds: The Open Course Ware Consortium is looking for 1) ways for students interested in learning to navigate through its resources to be able to choose, for example, a MIT OCW physics' course from a community college physics' course and 2) for ways for people to offer feedback

The Open Course Ware Consortium ...

http://www.ocwconsortium.org/ ...

is looking for

1) ways for students interested in learning to navigate through its resources to be able to choose,

for example,

a MIT OCW physics' course from a community college physics' course, and 


2) for ways for people to offer feedback, per OCWC's Mary Lou. 


Vis-a-vis World University and School, 

and to do both of these things but with a great universities' Open Educational Resources' focus, 

I'm excited about the new 


WikiData -  

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata - and 

WikiBase - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikibase_Client

 
(see, too, http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/30/wikipedias-next-big-thing-wikidata-a-machine-readable-user-editable-database-funded-by-google-paul-allen-and-others/) - 


both as new and developing, workable, wiki, database resources for the end user, 

for Wikipedia in all 284 languages, 

as well as for World University and School as part of its 'backend' -

WikiData and WikiBase are wiki database breakthroughs, and are Creative Commons' licensed, too!
