The purpose of Learning4Content

Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may not remember, involve me, and I'll understand.

The Learning4Content project is inspired by this meaningful native North American proverb. We are building capacity among teachers/educators to develop free content for learning, and prioritize wiki skills training in developing countries.

Outcomes/Results
The Learning4Content project is likely the world's largest attempt to develop wiki skills for education. In 2008, this ambitious and empowering project aims to:

  • conduct 160 workshops
  • train 2500 teachers/educators
  • develop 2500 lessons of free content
  • reach educators in at least 52 Commonwealth Countries
