Welcome to the Education Portal. Many Wikiversity participants are interested in education in general and how learning takes place at Wikiversity, in particular. This page is meant to be a user-friendly guide to education-related Wikiversity content. You may also be interested in the Wikiversity School of Education and help for School and university projects.

In November 2005 the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees rejected the first Wikiversity project proposal and instructed the Wikiversity community to modify the proposal to "exclude online-courses". The Board requested that the Wikiversity community "clarify [the] concept of e-learning" that will guide Wikiversity. The modified Wikiversity project proposal that was approved by the Board calls for two major components of Wikiversity: learning materials and learning activities.

Facilitation is a rare and valuable skill to have. It is a service that is often used in conferences, debates, panels and tutorials, or simply where groups of people are meeting and need someone to help negotiate meaning and understanding, and to keep everyone engaged and on task.
  • Good facilitation depends on good communication skills.
  • Good online facilitation depends on good online communication skills.

This course is designed to help people to access and interpret models, research, and develop professional expertise in online facilitation. The course is aimed at:

  • teachers who want to know how to facilitate online learning,
  • non-profits who want to know how to facilitate online networks and and communities, events and campaigns,
  • businesses who want to know how to leverage online communication tools for meetings, conferences, seminars and workshops.
