For previous discussions see the [[m:Wikiversity|Meta page]] on Wikiversity. Since there is now a formal [[m:Wikiversity/Modified project proposal|proposal]] to set up Wikiversity as a [[m:Proposals_for_new_projects#Wikiversity proposal|new Wikimedia project]], try to keep discussions of Wikiversity's scope and goals centralized at Meta.

Welcome to Wikiversity!

Wikiversity is a space for the creation and use of free learning materials and activities. Its primary priorities and goals are to:

  • Create and host free-content, multimedia learning materials/resources, for all age groups in all languages

Wikiversity aims to be of use to both students and teachers. For further details about Wikiversity, see Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity? or an outline of our policies.

Also join us on #wikiversity(on Freenode) to discuss how this project will be put together.

Wikiversity Service Projects

One way of moving Wikiversity forward is to create a set of core services that will support the efforts other Wikimedia sister projects. Since Wikibooks did not want to host Wikiversity, some Wikiversity service projects were developed at the education wikia.
