A Guide to Wikiversity Content

This page aims to offer a reasonably comprehensive guide to categorised Wikiversity content. The lists here are mainly generated dynamically (automatically) and provide multiple alternative navigation pathways. Wikiversity users are diverse, so no single exploration path is adequate. To ensure that a new resource is accessible here, categorise it - the project box system can help new editors easily add appropriate categories. An earlier version of this page can be found here. It is also possible to browse Wikiversity resources by name (alphabetical listing).

Major starting points

You can browse Wikiversity by school subject. The school subject portals aim to give a friendly and useful access route for users interested in pre-tertiary (pre-school, primary and secondary) education. The school subject portals aim to offer users an alternative non-university route to resources in their subject area which is free of the extreme specialisation which occurs at tertiary level and which is friendly and comprehensible to schoolchildren.


You can browse Wikiversity by user type. There are only a few of these, and the user type portals offer access routes based around the role you wish to play at Wikiversity.


You can browse Wikiversity by the completion status of resources, which can help you find complete resources reading for using, or freshly started ones which you can help develop. Work also needs to be done on categorising resources by completion status, which is why some of the categories here are rather empty.


You can browse Wikiversity by "faculty", where "faculty" is understood in the international (non-US American) sense of a major division of a university. Wikiversity is not a real university, but you can explore Wikiversity using the metaphor of a university. If you prefer the word "school" to "faculty", please skip to the box below.

During the course of its history, Wikiversity was instructed to organize itself more closely around "learning projects", so a structure appeared which offers an alternative way to explore content.


You can browse Wikiversity by resource type. This route is rather rough and ready for the time being, as people's consistency and willingness to categorise their resources by type has been somewhat lacking. It is hoped that by spotlighting the "by resource type" exploration path, people will slowly improve the tagging of resources by resource type.


You can browse Wikiversity by department. Historically Wikiversity had something called "departments" which were put into the "Topic" namespace, and you can browse through them here.
