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 visualize relationships in SVG or Java (see the toolbox to your left or the special pages).

If you have questions, send a mail to Daniel K. Schneider (he "owns" this wiki and is to blame for most of the current contents). Other major contributors are/were Kalli Benetos and Stéphane Lattion. We also get help from people out of cyberspace, thanx to you all !

Authors and status

• For DKS, this Wiki is first of all a note taking and "mapping out" tool: Most articles lack content, depth, style, authority or all four together, however the idea is to gradually improve at least certain articles.
• Anybody is welcome to participate, but please read the editing rules and the copyright notice. Note that you can sign your contributions and have opinions. This is not Wikipedia.
• We also very much appreciate people fixing little mistakes (spelling, grammar, references, ...) !
• If you are new to wiki technology, please browse through help and then make some tests in our SandBox.
• Maintenance categories (find unfinished articles): under construction, stubs, incomplete.
