THIS WIKI IS NOW FROZEN - NEW EDITORS WILL NOT BE APPROVED BUT EXISTING EDITORS CAN EDIT - ALTHOUGH THEIR EDITS WILL NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO THE ACTIVE SITE UNLESS THEY TAG THEM APPROPRIATELY (see News Item below)

For the active site, see http://virtual-learning.referata.com which aims to hold an exact copy of this site. At present we believe that all content pages have been transferred but many files of images and diagrams are still in process of migration. At present users are welcome to browse it, and we appreciate any feedback

This wiki will continue to accrete a few updates from the core team - especially reports. If we detect any users editing we shall do our best to check the edits in a way which means that we can do another transfer in December 2017.

Paul Bacsich 3 October 2017

'This wiki is the largest professional wiki in the world devoted to virtual learning in education - at all levels (schools, colleges and universities) including informal learning, open learning/OER and distance learning.

Welcome to the entry page of this wiki where you will find information about virtual schools, colleges and universities. The idea behind this wiki was to create an open and public space where researchers can share information about virtual developments in various different educational sectors. It was supported and maintained by a 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. The wiki will remain for the foreseeable future. The Editors are grateful to KU Leuven for hosting and support.

3 October 2017 - wiki will stay available

This wiki will remain open as long as the editors judge it to have relevance especially to a European audience. You can help us make the case if you let us know when you use or cite Re.ViCa pages.

2 October 2017 - updated Armenia and Georgia entries

See Armenia and Georgia

2016 news

18 October 2016 - how to tag new edits for "when the last ship sails"

Despite the warning at the top of this page, already-registered editors who wish to make edits can still do so, provided that their edits are new entries or updates of existing pages. To ensure that these new/modified pages are transferred editors should include the line

[[Category:VICA16]]

in their edit.

(PS the quote reference is to Tolkien not Sting)

14 October 2016 - page migration to archive wiki believed to be complete

The migration of all content pages to the active wiki http://virtual-learning.referata.com is believed to be complete. It remains to migrate the files (of images and reports).

We have put some new search and list pages on the active site - see the link on the Main Page.

Key links

Funding

This wiki is supported in part by volunteers who undertake the editing and by Matic Media Ltd. The wiki is hosted by K.U.Leuven.

Funding to launch this wiki came mainly from the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission through projects relevant to virtual learning. In addition, a series of smaller initiatives and volunteer labour have aimed and continue to keep updating the material. (See in particular e-World and LUOERL.)

This wiki is currently maintained by the Exploitation Phase of the VISCED project on Virtual Schools and Colleges (funded by LLP in 2011 - 2012), which made an inventory and carried 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. For more details see http://www.virtualschoolsandcolleges.info/

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

Disclaimer

The Editorial Team makes every effort to ensure, but does not guarantee, the accuracy of the information on this wiki, but we warmly invite anyone who sees incorrect information to let us know. You can read more information on this topic here.

This wiki was partly funded through the Re.ViCa project (2007-2009), then through the VISCED project (2011-2012), and finally though the POERUP project (2011-2014) with support from the European Commission through the Lifelong Learning Programme.

The wiki reflects the views only of the authors, and the European Commission, European Parliament or any other funders commercial or state cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.
