Wikiversity

What Wikiversity is

Wikiversity is a free online resource for teaching, learning, and research, built around open learning materials and collaborative projects. Anyone can take or teach a course without credentials or an account. Participants use wiki software to create and revise teaching materials, while learning projects bring together pages focused on a topic or theme. Activities may include tutorials, help or discussion forums, debate clubs, and collaborative research. Materials can take the form of text, audio, video, or other static resources. Its mission includes multilingual learning for people of all ages and levels, and its portal links to resources in languages including English, Italian, French, German, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, and Japanese. Wikiversity launched as a Wikimedia Foundation project in August 2006. It awards no degrees, and its welcome page says it has no advertising. The Wikimedia Foundation says it does not sell or rent personal information and uses reasonable measures to help secure it. Contributions to Wikimedia Sites remain publicly and permanently available. Questions can be taken to the Wikiversity Colloquium.
