Welcome to EduTechWiki

EduTech Wiki is about Educational Technology and related fields. This "place" built at TECFA - an educational technology research and teaching unit at University of Geneva - serves several connected objectives:

• Originally, this Wiki has been created as support for a course on "Virtual Projects" (project-oriented pedagogies) by a team from TECFA in the framework of eTeach-Net, a joint project involving 9 higher education institutions in Switzerland.

• DKS uses it to prepare an introduction to the field of educational technology ( outline ) and as such this wiki can be used as a research tool or cognitive flexibility hypertext.

• Some TECFA students participate trough a formal writing-to-learn course or to prepare their master or PhD thesis projects (see the french version).

Actually there are 1,965 articles on this wiki. You also can explore a visualisation of various relationships (requires Java Runtime).
