Wikiversity:Main Page

Wikiversity is a Wikimedia Foundation project devoted to learning resources, learning projects, and research for use in all levels, types, and styles of education from pre-school to university, including professional training and informal learning. We invite teachers, students, and researchers to join us in creating open educational resources and collaborative learning communities. To learn more, try a guided tour or start editing now.

Today's Featured Project

A resource for scholars and others interested in media literacy. The materials were originally developed by graduate students enrolled in a course taught by Professor Renee Hobbs at Temple University's School of Communication and Theater, and has been further developed by succeeding versions of the same course. The course looks at media literacy in a wide context, and is of relevance to secondary education, tertiary education, research and education outside the formal sector.

Development

At Wikiversity we are committed both to conventional learning patterns and resources, and to innovation and experimentation. Wikiversity is open to reconceptualising how web education can occur and how open educational resources can be made, and we are open to new ideas about the use of the Mediawiki environment for learning and research. Check out and help develop our learning projects and how learning works on Wikiversity, see how Wikiversity can help you, and explore how to get involved and start adding content. The sandbox server project is also a centre of learning experimentation.
