Wikipedia & Education User Group/EduWiki Hub/Monthly OER Documentation

The EduWiki Hub's Open Educational Resources

Our mission is to build and share a valuable collection of Open Educational Resources (OER) for the Wikimedia and education community. We want to make it easier for educators and Wikimedians to find, use, and create materials that help them connect Wikipedia with learning.

Our approach focuses on organizing and curating content. We are categorizing our educational programs and mapping existing resources to them. Our goal is to publish at least two new resources every month, including lesson plans, multimedia tutorials, and guides that support education initiatives.

The Resource Curation and Development Working Group will coordinate this effort.
