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 for student projects. With some additions, it may become a light-weight cognitive flexibility hypertext

• Both wikis (en/fr) are used within courses of TECFA's MALTT MSc program in educational technology. Students can participate in wiki writing trough a formal writing-to-learn course, i.e STIC-3 in fall 2006. Others prepare literature reviews for their master or PhD thesis projects (see the french version).

• You may use this place as a starting point for literature reviews. We try to include many on-line references, but some are access restricted.

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

Authors and status

• This Wiki is under construction. This means that its overall organization is still fairly unstable and that most articles lack content, depth, style, authority (or all four together).
• Authors, 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.
