WikiEducator and the Commonwealth of Learning

We're turning the digital divide into digital dividends using free content and open networks. We hope you can help us.

About

Wikieducator logo.jpg

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.

Sir John Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Commonwealth of Learning is the patron of WikiEducator.

Organizational affiliation

WikiEducator is a free community resource supported by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) for the development of free educational content.
