Country reports and Country OER reports
On this wiki there are country reports on ICT in education for each country in the world. To access them just give the country name - e.g. Austria.
There are also OER-specific country reports for each country in the world. To access them just give the country name followed by "/OER"- e.g. Austria/OER.
Accessing country reports
To check out a particular country, one can do one of the following:
- access it via the Continents list below
- access it from the Countries list, given after the Continents list
- type its name into the search box - this can be its English name or its "truename" (i.e. its name in the language of the country)
- type its two-letter ISO code into the search box at the side of the wiki screen - for the codes see the Country codes page.
For a list of the countries of most importance to ICT in education as judged by the Re.ViCa project in 2009, see Country reports. This gives a useful historical perspective.
For a list of all 248 countries in alphabetical order (in English) see All countries in English
More useful nowadays is a list of all UN member states.
For a list of countries by population see All countries by population.
For a list of countries by income - with commentary - see All countries by income.
Note that the reports on OER in Country can be found on the OER subpage of the country page. Thus for example the report on OER in Canada is found at Canada/OER. Each subpage has a tiny "breadcrumb" link to the base page right at the top left of the subpage.
Accessing countries via other languages
Note that not all countries are represented even in the list below, only those where it is likely that some Virtual Campus activity is taking place. We also wanted to allow access to countries via their name in any one of the languages in the Re.ViCa consortium - English, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian and Italian:
- Countries in English (A-Z)
- Countries in Dutch (A-Z)
- Countries in French (A-Z)
- Countries in Finnish (A-Z)
- Countries in German (A-Z)
- Countries in Hungarian (A-Z)
- Countries in Italian (A-Z)
with links to their English names. Native speakers may always check and, if editors, add further synonyms.
Editors - please see Country template.
Disclaimer
The concept of a "country" is a complex and sometimes contested issue. Inclusion of a country in our list does not imply recognition of the country by any particular nation (or the EU or OECD) or approval of its regime by any of its projects represented by content on this wiki.
Continents list
- Africa
- Americas
- Antarctica - no virtual campuses there
- Asia
- Australasia
- Caribbean
- Europe
- Oceania
- Atlantica - our name for the group of small island states and territories in the Atlantic Ocean.
Countries list
The following is a list of over 100 of the most relevant countries, classified as follows:
