The wiki is a work in progress. Many of the judgements that are made about institutions and projects are at this stage tentative and subject to further analysis by projects, often with the help of an International Advisory Committee - and may be found challenging by some readers. The [[Re.ViCa]] team conducted its research on Virtual Campuses along a broad range of parameters. Most information is validated by the numerous discussion sessions that the Re.ViCa team has organised with different stakeholder groups throughout the project. The same will be true of [[VISCED]]. Information on individuals is as far as possible collected from public sources and written in "curriculum vitae" fashion, focussing on their strengths and abilities and not on irrelevant personal information.
 
If any individual feels that information about them requires correction then it is within the spirit of the wiki approach for them to do that for their own entry.

Welcome to the entry page of this wiki where you will find information about virtual schools, colleges and universities. The idea behind this wiki is to create an open and public space where researchers can share information about virtual developments in various different educational sectors. It is supported and maintained by a growing community of researchers and is aimed at stakeholders, researchers and practitioners who would like to have easy access to the latest information about how the virtual phenomenon is manifesting itself in schools, colleges and universities around the world.

Do you know an interesting Virtual Campus, Virtual College or Virtual School? Do you want to provide information about blended and e-learning in your country? We warmly welcome your input, so join the research team by registering here for free and help us to grow this wiki as a large and dynamic inventory of Virtual Learning!

Funding to launch this wiki has come in part from the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission through two projects relevant to virtual learning:

This wiki is currently maintained by the VISCED project on Virtual Schools and Colleges (2011 - 2012), which aims to make an inventory and to carry out a systematic review at international and national levels of innovative ICT-enhanced learning/teaching "Exemplar" initiatives and "e-mature" major secondary and post-secondary education providers for the 14-21 age group.


VISCED will enhance Re.ViCa’s earlier research work on this wiki on country reports and resources with research results relevant to virtual schools and exemplars.

Originally set up in 2007 by the Re.ViCa project on Virtual Campuses in universities and colleges (2007- 2009), this wiki started out with providing an inventory and showing the results of a systematic review of Virtual Campus initiatives of the past decade within higher education throughout the world.


In 2009, Re.ViCa research pages on this wiki include over 300 categorised Programmes, Country reports, nine in-depth Institutional reports and a large number of related Resources (research projects, outputs, and publications).

This wiki has been partly funded through the Re.ViCa project (2007-2009) and is now funded through the VISCED project (2011-2012) with support from the European Commission through the Lifelong Learning Programme. The wiki reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.

In addition, various smaller initiatives and volunteer labour are endeavouring to keep up to date the university-related material. (See in particular e-World and LUOERL.)
