About the Class

The WikiEducator is an evolving community intended for collaborative instruction and learning. WikiEducator is a community project working collaboratively with the Free Culture Movement towards a free version of the education curriculum by 2015. Driven by the learning for development agenda we focus on:

  • building capacity in the use of Mediawiki and related free software technologies for mass-collaboration in the authoring of free content;
  • developing free content for use in schools, polytechnics, universities, vocational education institutions and informal education settings;
  • facilitating the establishment of community networks and collaboration with existing free content initiatives in education;
  • fostering new technologies that will widen access, improve quality and reduce the cost associated with providing education, primarily through the use of free content.
Get started today and register now for free wiki training. The next online course for 2008 is scheduled for January 28. The course will be moderated by Nellie Deutsch and Patricia Schlicht.

The free online course will be via Wikieducator, Google Group discussions (emails) and WiZiQ live online sessions.

Keywords: web 2.0, education 2.0, learning, teaching, wiki, wikieducator
