WikiEducator

WikiEducator is an education-oriented wiki that aims to produce a free version of the education curriculum. WikiEducator has a collection of learning content in a variety of disciplines, with a unique approach to developing learning content. The project has a strong focus on users contributing free content resources, often linking incentives to the process of contribution to encourage users to participate; as a result, WikiEducator has built up a strong content database.

The WikiEducator site is powered by the MediaWiki software, which also powers Wikiversity, however WikiEducator has taken advantage of innovative extensions to the software to provide further technical infrastructure to facilitate learning. For example, the project is experimenting with collaborative video through the Kaltura system.
