Wikiversity is a Wikimedia Foundation project devoted to learning resources and learning projects for all levels, types and styles of education from pre-school and school to university, professional training and informal and lifelong learning. We invite all kinds of learners (teachers, students, and researchers) to join us in creating educational resources and collaborative learning communities.

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.
