This is fantastic! Does this wiki course align with the training package in an Australian Training Framework sense? Dunno if you noticed, but I've started a course on the PayItForward idea: http://payitforwardlearning.wikispaces.org/ I just copied a competency from the IT package, and intend to design assignments in the pay it forward sense. But your point of drawing from a broader, already established network is ringing bells for me too. I'd like to move my work so far to wikiversity also. But the point of pay it forward is to get students to develop resources, and to attract assessment and recognition to participating training organisations. Do you think you would go the yards and set up Web Design WikiVersity in such a way that anyone can develop a proof of learning folio and apply to WSI for recognition? Mike you dog!!

I'm planning that each module will have its own Quals page (as does the <a href="http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Web_Design:Learning_Basic_HTML_and_CSS" rel="nofollow">Basic HTML and CSS</a> module) that identifies the qualification and relevant competencies (in our Australian case) to which the module relates. Each Australian competency within the qualification will also have its own page with links to relevant modules and ideas for demonstrating competency (so its bi-directional from the wiki-course to the quals or vice-versa). As an example, see <a href="http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Web_Design:ICAB4135A_Create_a_simple_mark-up_language_document_to_specification" rel="nofollow">ICAB4135A Create a simple mark-up language document to specification</a> As for people being able to build a portfolio and apply for recognition... what stops this from happening now? If people can demonstrate their competence (and their evidence is valid, reliable, etc), then they can already apply for recognition of current competence can't they? I'm not too sure, but would like to find out... Hey guys… thanks for the positive feedback :)

There is however, another great freely-hosted service called <a href="http://www.wikispaces.org/" rel="nofollow">Wikispaces</a>. You could even see how the <a href="http://aclug.wikispaces.org/" rel="nofollow">Avondale Community Linux Users Group</a> is using Wikispaces for a similar purpose! Hi Phillip, Hi DongQin,
