Wikiversity – a new virtual University about to start
At the annual conference of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia, Wikimania, just going on at Harvard Law School, the president of the Wikimedia Foundation announced the new project Wikiversity, a free platform for all kinds of educational materials and learning groups. He said that the virtual university will already start this month, at first in three languages, with more languages to follow.
This fascinating international group project will allows people all over the world to have access to education materials and to co-operate – if not a government blocks the access, as it is being done by China with the wikipedia sites. But there is hope that the flow of knowledge finds a way also to penetrate through the great internet-wall.
