Do We Add

Here is Sara's "Do We Add" list. Some of the items below are not programmes but are lists themselves. Do I pull these institutions from the lists? Etc. Actually, there are some notes below as well...

From 1/2009:

• Campus Numerique (France) as referenced in the Science Mag article - not sure there is a single body to consider a "programme" here

Other List of Questions Emailed

• Do you feel that ALL occurrences of abbreviations should redirect to the full programme names, with the actual content residing under the full name page? (e.g. move the UKeU content to a full name page, with the abbreviation page set as a redirect only?) Also, should we "activate" ALL abbreviation links, i.e. on the programmes list *and* within each programme page? Where they occur in country pages, etc?

• So far I see only a workshop programme (in Spanish) for the Ibero-American forum... http://www.online-educa.com/iberoamerica-forum-programme. Shall I troll the entities that look like potentially relevant programmes or leave it for now? Anything jump out for you?

• Should new additions have glaring relevance to Re.ViCa (i.e. distance learning oozing from their pores already) or is it enough that <name> mentions a recent visit to meet with their dean? [this question is in reference to emails c. 10/2008]

• ...I am contemplating how to decide whether institutions already named in reports like [the one in Paul's Japan Report email] should be added to the programmes list. For example, it sounds like some of the Japanese universities have very serious e-learning initiatives underway. In fact I often spot examples listed in country reports which do not (yet?) have entries in our programmes list. Would we say that, if it is mentioned anywhere in the wiki, it requires at least a stub? [semi-outdated question as of 1/2009]

• How far from academia do we stray? The Pipeline Project at http://www.pipeline-project.org/ is of interest but I take it that a

"prisoner education" project is too far out of bounds for our purposes?
