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 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 outside of TECFA, thanx to you all !

Authors and status

• This Wiki is under construction. Its overall organization is still a bit unstable and most articles lack content, depth, style, authority (or all four together).
• Anybody is welcome to participate, but please read the editing rules and the copyright notice.
• 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.
