Where WikiLectures are heading?

Publication

Abstract

WikiLectures - a tool for collaborative creation, storage and sharing educational materials, have been among the common tools of MEFANET network since 2008. They are based on Web 2.0 technologies and are characterized by great openness for cooperation.

Anyone can enter or edit new study materials, even (at least to some extent) without registration. Despite the openness, the system remains safe – it is ensured by staff, organizationally and technically.

Operation of WikiSkripta (and their English version WikiLectures) is maintained by a large group of students of the Czech and Slovak medical faculties. Members of the editorial staff are systematically trained in technical and communication skills.

WikiLectures became the most popular medical teaching web in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
