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

This is a collection of e-learning projects at Wikiversity created by a variety of pioneers in the field of online education. The collection includes courses (both participatory and non-participatory), articles, papers, lesson collections, events, discussions and ideas in the making. Some of the materials are highly developed and large; others provide plenty of opportunity for enhancement.

This photograph shows a view over the Japanese city of Hiroshima after an atomic bomb was dropped on the city in 1945. The Hiroshima bombing was one of two atomic attacks on Japan which effectively ended the Second World War and killed about 140,000 to 220,000 inhabitants in the short term.

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.
