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. | |||

The Editorial Team makes every effort to ensure, but does not guarantee, the accuracy of the information on this wiki. Hyperlinks to other websites imply neither responsibility for, nor approval of the information contained in those other websites on the part of Re.ViCa, VISCED or any other project authorised to place material on this wiki.
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.
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.

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.)
