Why I created this account

 * Second_Journal_of_Science is a startup journal for the teaching of science. Along with a more established journal,  Wikijournal of Medicine, this is part of a Wikijournal proposal.  These journals need a platform by which authors may contribute submissions without making them public.  Also editors and referees need private channels of communication.
 * Second Semester Calculus Based Physics is a class roster for one of three courses I am currently teaching. If you go to the Study guide you will see that this course has an open source bank of exam questions that permits a major part of the course to be taught online.  Solutions are available for most of the problems in this bank.  I would like to have students write lab reports in subpages of the roster (see this brief student report by User:W025nacfor an example. )

About the logos

 * 1) The Wikiversity logo shown to the wright is for informational ("display") purposes only and is not intended to represent an official endorsement by Wikiversity. The editor of this page is active on Wikiversity, and is seeking an offical collaboration between the wikis.
 * 2) wikiversity:File:Wikiversity-Miraheze-private-en.svg is stored as a Wikiversity file and is not yet on Wikimedia Commons because it contains the Wikiversity logo and requires permission from Wikimeda Foundation before it can be properly used.
 * 3) Wikiversityprivate:File:Wikiversity-Miraheze-temporary-logo.png is stored in wikiversity.miraheze and serves as a temporary logo displayed at Wikiversityprivate:Main Page. I am in no rush to replace this logo. It was developed to illustrate how such Wikiversity/Miraheze collaborations would appear if this collaboration would occur.

Steps to take towards collaboration

 * 1) Begin a discussion on Wikiversity Colloquium. Started (see https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity:Colloquium&oldid=1594718#Proposal_for_official_collaboration_with_miraheze.org)
 * 2) Begin a discussion with Miraheze.  (Not started: I don't even know whom to contact.)
 * 3) Add my name to the list of helpful people Miraheze (Not done, I need more time to research the suitability of Miraheze for this collaboration
 * 4) Begin to enroll students as owners of private wikis on Miraheze (Not done, but I can start small with one or two students to beta-test this)
 * 5) Begin to use these private wikis as platforms for lab writeups and other writing assignments (Not ready to do yet).
