Mediawiki is already used to host | Mediawiki is already used to host Open Educational Resources (OER), such as wikipedia. However, mediawiki use to develop and host more complex resources, particularly for structured resources (such as textbooks) is still limited. Mediawiki could be a great platform for collaboratively producing and hosting teacher education resources. For instance, mediawiki comes pretty close to being an excellent platform for open textbooks (whether these are teacher education resources or otherwise). | ||
Our research around the ORBIT project (http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/ORBIT) highlighted some of the issues, and through this proposal, we seek to further develop mediawiki to make it a more suitable platform for hosting structured open educational content. There could bring potentially very significant gains to the OER community, and possibly leads to a far greater adoption of mediawiki in that area. | Our research around the ORBIT project (http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/ORBIT) highlighted some of the issues, and through this proposal, we seek to further develop mediawiki to make it a more suitable platform for hosting structured open educational content.
