Note that the prime purpose of [http://www.wikieducator.org/ WikiEducator] is to facilitate the generation of Open Educational Resources (OER), not to provide an encyclopedia of e-learning across countries and projects.
 
 
== Countries ==
 
Thera are 55 country pages on Wikieducator. However, the pages Countries, Mytest, OLPC (3 pages), Photo Gallery, User pages (2 pages)and WikiLatinos are not "real" country pages. Moreover, the India country page is spread across 5 pages overall. Hence there are only around 40 "real" country pages.
 
This is under 1/6 of the total number (circa 260) of countries in the world.
 
The following 11 "real" WikiEducator country pages contain content relevant to Re.ViCa. Details are below. The most important are in '''bold''', the others of relevance are in ''italic''.
 
# ''Cameroon'' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Cameroon Wikieducator:Cameroon]: list of universities
# ''Ghana'' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Ghana Wikieducator:Ghana]: several useful links
# '''India''' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/India Wikieducator:India]: colourful and detailed home page with links to many projects including ODL including for teacher training
# Jordan - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Jordan Wikieducator:Jordan]: but seems largely a copy of [[Wikipedia:Jordan]]
# '''Kiribati''' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/The_Republic_of_Kiribati Wikieducator:The Republic of Kiribati]: really informative entry
# '''Mauritius''' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Mauritius Wikieducator:Mauritius]: really informative set of web pages
# Niue - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Niue Wikieducator:Niue]: coverage similar to [[Niue]]
# '''Samoa''' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Samoa Wikieducator:Samoa]: several useful links and articles
# '''South Africa''' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/South_Africa Wikieducator:South Africa]: long article on [http://www.wikieducator.org/Overview_of_Education_in_South_Africa Wikieducator:Overview of Education in South Africa]
# '''Tokelau''' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Tokelau Wikieducator:Tokelau]: informative entry ([[Tokelau]] is minimal)
# ''Tuvalu'' - [http://www.wikieducator.org/Tuvalu Wikieducator:Tuvalu]: a bit of relevant information
 
In addition the page [http://www.wikieducator.org/Role_of_the_Tutor_in_ODL Wikieducator:Role_of_the_Tutor_in_ODL] describes part of the ODL story in Botswana.
 
 
== Ambassadors ==
 
There is a list of Ambassadors at [http://www.wikieducator.org/Ambassadors Wikieducator:Ambassadors]. Some of these could be very useful as contacts for their country.
 
 
== Projects ==
 
There are many project pages spread across Wikieducator. See in particular [http://www.wikieducator.org/Initiatives Wikieducator:Initiatives]
