WikiEducator

WikiEducator is an online community project working collaboratively with the free culture movement towards a free version of the education curriculum.

Focus areas:
* building capacity in the use of Mediawiki and related free software technologies for mass-collaboration in the authoring of free content;
* developing free content for use in schools, polytechnics, universities, vocational education institutions and informal education settings;
* facilitating the establishment of community networks and collaboration with existing free content initiatives in education;
* fostering new technologies that will widen access, improve quality and reduce the cost associated with providing education, primarily through the use of free content.
