Welcome to EduTech Wiki

EduTech Wiki is about Educational Technology (instructional technology) and related fields and was built at TECFA - an educational technology research and teaching unit at University of Geneva.

Objectives - this wiki can be used as:

• resource kit for educational technology teaching;
• note taking tool for researchers and advanced practitioners in educational technology (you write);
• literature review tool for all interested persons;
• writing-to-learn environment for students in educational technology and other fields (they write).

Some materials may be useful to teachers, instructional designers, e-learning consultants, etc. (but it's not the main purpose of this site).

Actually there are 1,965 articles on this wiki. There is also a french version with less but different contents.

You also can explore a visualisation of various relationships (requires Java Runtime).
