Wikiversity:Differences between Wikiversity and Wikibooks

Wikiversity was originally a sub-project within Wikibooks. It became an independent project in August 2006. This page describes some of the main content-related differences between the projects.

Resource types
One of the main differences between Wikiversity and Wikibooks is the number and variety of available resource types. Wikibooks is for books. Wikiversity is for a large variety of learning resources (see box below). As a book may also be a learning resource (e.g. textbook for school use), some degree of overlap is possible.
