       | Actually a nice idea to make lecturers collaborate and share
       | more: Maybe it would help if the website could be used by
       | university courses, e.g., by allowing to overlay custom course
       | infos or modify sections.

       | comp-sci - no mention on main page or courses list. I went into

       | where one is about mammals.

       | Doesn't seem like a structured set of data that you could
       | actually learn from as you would do on a university

         | I just tried clicking "Browse" (second item in left bar, below
         | "Main page") and "Computer science" is in the middle of the
         | first box:
         | 
         | https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/School:Computer_Science
         | 
         | Which leads to "Core Courses" and "Full Course Listing".
         | 
         | It also works if on the main page, the middle of the top box
         | lists subject areas, you can click "Technology" which has a
         | subcategory "Computing" which lists "Computer science".
         | 
         | It also works if you click on "Schools" in the main page, which
         | lists "School:Computer Science".
         | 
         | I agree it should maybe be more primary how to access the
         | subject hierarchy. But it is there in multiple ways.

         | taken off the least (maybe except wikinews and wikispecies).
         | The amount of content is relatively small. If you want a
         | structured learning resource, i think wikibooks is a better
         | bet.
