Wiki

 Hi! Do you know what is WIKI? No, it’s not a common Wikipedia)

Wiki is a web technology used for collaborative publishing on the web. Wiki is a type of server software that allows you to work with data on a remote server on the Web. Users interact with the software through a web interface that lets them read, edit and publish content.

It can be very useful at school as students may create their own profiles with photos, bio information, hobbies, a list of interests, links to favourite websites. A task to create such a page gives the student an incentive on how to use formatting, publishing and multimedia capabilities of a wiki platform, thereby preparing the student for more complex tasks.

So many wiki tools are available.  Discussions on social forums like Reddit and Quora are never-ending. And today I wanted to tell you about the experience of a Wikiversity


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 about Wikiversity, try a guided tour, learn about adding content, or start editing now.




Why is it interesting?

  1. Everyone can create and revise teaching materials. 

  2. Anyone can participate in the learning activities. 

  3. Everyone can take a course. 

  4. Everyone can teach a course. 

  5. There are no entrance requirements and no fees. 

  6. All content in Wikiversity is written collaboratively, using wiki software, and everyone is welcome to take part through using, adding and discussing content.



Feel free to dive in, and create or amend any page you think warrants improvement! Be bold! You don't even need to create an account to contribute. However, doing so will help to identify you to others as a regular participant and at the same time provide you with a personal set of user pages.


See you soon!
