Through our proposal the wiki movement would gain ground in formal Higher Education, particularly in the area of teacher education, and for the use of mediawiki to produce professional open wikibooks. We feel very strongly about the benefits of collaborative teacher resource development, and this projects helps us to take this message out to other departments in the UK.
