Assistant teacher training

Wikiversity Assistant teacher program

Project goal

The "Assistant teacher training" project has the goal to extend the Assistant teacher course of the Wikiversity assistant teacher program, especially with respect to local WikiEducator content (e.g. Life Skills Development, Free Textbooks, Handouts4Teachers, Learning4Content, Open Schools, Teacher Education, ...)

Before a course module is copied to Wikieducator and modified locally it should be marked as at least 75% complete.
