There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

I've just put up the first few pages of the OLiVER Project on WikiEducator. OLiVER is intended to be a place where the best resources are organized in relation to specific national curricula. It is espcially geared toward teachers, students, and schools who are new internet users around the world, to help find the best resources. It can also serve as the way to find textbooks and other resources that may be hard to come by for some schools.

OLiVER was started as a stand-along wiki using MediaWiki software: OLiVER Project

Uganda is the first curriculum we're putting up.

We are now migrating it to WikiEducator for a few reasons:

  • to benefit from the expertise of this community
  • to link to similar projects like the WikiEducator India Project
  • it will be more sustainable and generally better maintained
  • and the word will get out better

Please comment here if you have ideas for making it better or getting the word out to users/contributors. Or if you have suggestions for the best way to move it from its current location to WikiEducator. Rswells 04:38, 18 October 2007 (CEST)
