Education[edit]

Wiki for higher education research results presentation (Open University of Catalonia)

The use of Internet open content for university education: an empirical study on the perceptions, attitudes and practices of university faculty on Wikipedia. This research project aims to analyze the use of Internet open contents for university teaching and explore and propose new ways of using these resources in learning processes, based on recent international experiences. Specifically, the project examines the educational uses of one of the most important open repositories of knowledge nowadays, Wikipedia, and explores the attitudes and perceptions of university teachers on this virtual collaborative encyclopedia, and, in general, on open resources.
