Welcome to the Virtual Education Wiki, devoted to virtual learning in education at all levels (schools, colleges and universities) including informal learning, open learning (OER) and distance learning. It is also known as the Open Education Wiki.
As this is a wiki, you can edit it as part of the Virtual Education Wiki Community. Prior to contributing, you may find it useful to view our help pages and note that anything you change may be amended or deleted by other wiki users.

The idea in 2008 behind the original wiki was to create an open and public space where researchers could share information about virtual developments in various different educational sectors. It was supported and maintained during 2009-2015 by a community of researchers from EU and beyond and was aimed at stakeholders, researchers and practitioners who wanted to have easy access to the latest information about how the virtual phenomenon is manifesting itself in schools, colleges and universities around the world. You will therefore find much of this legacy information in the wiki. The wiki is now being updated in all its aspects, focussing initially on OER initiatives, OER policies and virtual schools.
This summer and autumn (Northern Hemisphere) there is a big push on virtual schools, getting more coordinates and adding infoboxes to entries so that they can be dynamically mapped.
| We are also looking for collaborators to load large amounts of other legacy material on OER.
See in particular our samples of material from the former OER World Map. |
