Project Outline
Introduction
We see WikiEducator enabling collaboration amongst schools within our clusters. We envisage a pilot project that targets a small number of subjects/teachers. The main objective of this project is to improve teaching and learning through collaboration. Teachers from the subject areas identified will work together to develop learning resources that can be made freely available to others. We envisage this ultimately leading to the development of collaborative online courses.
Teachers often re-invent the wheel, when they can work smarter, more efficiently, and more effectively, together.
