Other WIKI's of relevance

The following wikis on related topics may be of interest to the audience interested in the Re.ViCa wiki.

(Unless stated otherwise, all wikis use the same MediaWiki software that is used by Re.ViCa.)

1. The EduTech wiki run by the University of Geneva has a large number of definitions of useful terms and concepts in e-learning.
2. The OER wiki run by the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) in UNESCO has useful coverage of concepts and projects in the area of Open Educational Resources.
3. The Sloan-C wiki is full of useful Effective Practices and articles (mostly from JALN)
4. The SimTeach wiki covers education in Multi-User Virtual Environments - see also its interesting "subwiki" on Second Life (thanks to Stephen Downes's blog for this information)
5. The Higher Education Academy Benchmarking and Pathfinder wiki has many articles of relevance to the UK e-learning situation.
6. Wikipedia itself contains many articles on e-learning topics.
7. The eMM wiki run by Dr Stephen Marshall of the Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand) is the repository for the evolving e-Maturity Model (eMM) methodology for benchmarking e-learning.
8. Although it is a web site and blog but not actually a wiki it is worth mentioning the new EU reports on Megatrends in e-learning provision which include mini case studies on the University of Leicester, University of Ulster, Staffordshire University and Manchester Metropolitan University as well as of course the Open University and several non-UK providers.

In addition to these, it is known that various agencies and associations including EDUCAUSE are experimenting with wikis.
