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).

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