The Re.ViCa wiki has been set-up to provide an inventory and to show the results of a systematic review of Virtual Campus initiatives of the past decade within higher education throughout the world. In this wiki you will find a list of more than 300 interesting Programmes, all of which have been categorised. All programmes are listed based on the interesting or innovative eLearning approach they have taken. We have listed a significant number of relevant initiatives varying greatly in terms of size, type of student, country of origin etc. You will also find Country reports, describing the educational context and ways in which decision-makers in these countries have taken steps to address changes brought about due to the emergence of the Information Society. The wiki also contains 6 in-depth Institutional reports and a large number of related Resources. We have collected and described relevant research projects, outputs, publications and provide a list of experts in the field of Virtual Campuses. Some pages are protected, but most are open and await your contributions.Do you know an interesting Virtual Campus or you want to provide information about your country? Please log in and help us to sustain this wiki, as a large and dynamic inventory of Virtual Campuses!

Disclaimer

This 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 the project with the help of the International Advisory Committee - and may be found challenging by some readers. The Re.ViCa team conduct its research on Virtual Campuses along a broad range of parameters. We looked at former initiatives, research projects and the project consortium expertise. Most information is validated by the numerous discussion sessions that Re.ViCa team have organised with different stakeholder groups throughout the project. 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.
