Dear Patricia,
you are always welcome - as is anyone - to use material from
Wikiversity in courses in your university. Wikiversity is part of the
Wikimedia Foundation, which releases all of its material under free
licences. The one we use is the Gnu Free Documentation Licence (GFDL),
details of which can be found at
<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:GNU_Free_Documentation_License>.
However, I cannot find material on the topic you requested -
<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Topiary> does not exist yet.
Wikiversity works by allowing anyone to add their own materials, or to
edit or discuss others' materials - so I would therefore welcome you
or any of your students to develop this page (by clicking the "edit"
button, adding your text, and saving it). This goes for any page which
you feel would be a good space in which to facilitate your students'
learning - you are always welcome to participate.
I am sorry we can't be of any more help to you in providing material
in the short term. You may, however, want to try our sister project,
Wikipedia, where there is a page on the subject:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topiary>. You are free to use and/or
edit that page in exactly the same way as I've outlined above.
Please feel free to ask any more questions about Wikiversity, or wikis
in general. Since you're not subscribed to this mailing list, you
could ask me directly at this email address, or you could subscribe to
the list at: <http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiversity-l>.
I hope this has been of some help.
Regards,
Cormac Lawler
