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.

Funding to launch this wiki has come in part from the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission through two projects relevant to virtual learning:

This wiki is currently maintained by the VISCED project on Virtual Schools and Colleges (funded by LLP in 2011 - 2012), which has made an inventory and carried out a systematic review at international and national levels of innovative ICT-enhanced learning/teaching "Exemplar" initiatives and "e-mature" major secondary and post-secondary education providers for the 14-21 age group. For more details see http://www.virtualschoolsandcolleges.info/


VISCED enhanced Re.ViCa's earlier research work on this wiki on country reports and resources with research results relevant to virtual schools and exemplars.

Originally set up in 2007 by the Re.ViCa project on Virtual Campuses in universities and colleges (2007- 2009), this wiki started out with providing an inventory and showing the results of a systematic review of Virtual Campus initiatives of the past decade within higher education throughout the world.


In 2009, Re.ViCa research pages on this wiki included over 300 categorised Programmes, Country reports, nine in-depth Institutional reports and a large number of related Resources (research projects, outputs, and publications).

This wiki has been partly funded through the Re.ViCa project (2007-2009) and then through the VISCED project (2011-2012) with support from the European Commission through the Lifelong Learning Programme. The wiki reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.

In addition, various smaller initiatives and volunteer labour endeavour to keep up to date the university-related material. (See in particular e-World and LUOERL.)
