FedWikiVersity

Part of local neighborhood self-education. Each neighborhood will focus the impact and relevance of educational content.

I am very curious

# Method and tools

* FedWiki * Wikiversity * Wikipedia * YouTube * Google Earth * Open Street Maps * Graphviz * Patterns * Pattern Languages * Mentors * Teachers * Co-learners

The FedWiki can be used to: * Gather and compare information * Lay out sequential learning paths with forks (choices) all the while keeping the learner oriented with Layout Diagrams

# As an experiment / example: I can imagine a course of study and learning structured by Donella Meadows famous paper, Leverage Points, Places to Intervene in a System. I would suggest starting at the highest leverage points and working down to those with the least impact.

I will begin with only Wiki sources.

1. The power to transcend paradigms 2. The mindset or paradigm out of which the system--its goals, structure, rules, delays, parameters--arises 3. The goals of the system 4. The power to add, change, evolve, or self-organized system structure 5. The rules of the system (such as incentives, punishments, constraints) 6. The structure of information flows (who does and does not have access to what kinds of information) 7. The gain around driving positive feedback loops 8. The strength of negative feedback loops , relative to the impacts they are trying to correct against 9. The lengths of delays , relative to the rate of system change 10. The structure of material stocks and flows (such as transport networks, population age structures) 11. The sizes of buffers and other stabilizing stocks, relative to their flows 12. Constants, parameters, numbers (such as subsidies, taxes, standards).
