White-tailed ptarmigan: In donating CC WUaS to CC Wikidata, Digital Learning Research around Wikidata, "Digital humanities, collaborative ontology development, and digital learning" - Co-develop approaches to studying learning, academically, rigorously and longitudinally, at WUaS for free CC degrees inter-lingually especially? "People’s participation processes (the social system), the employed software (the technical system) and the collectively created artefact (the knowledge system)," Would the Google Hangouts (and eventually a film realistic 3D build-able interactive virtual earth as classroom - e.g. Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with OpenSim and SL - and eventually with brainwave headsets for brain research) be the social system, the CC MIT OCW in 7 languages (and eventually in most countries' main languages) be the technical system and Wikidata be the developing collectively created artefact (the knowledge system)? This seems so on first glance
