How Did Wikiversity Start?
Wikiversity began in 2006. Before that, it was part of Wikibooks. Wikibooks is a big online library of free textbooks. Today, Wikiversity is available in many different languages. These include Czech, English, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
How is Wikiversity Different from Wikipedia?
Wikiversity resources are different from Wikipedia. On Wikiversity, you can start your own research on a topic. Wikipedia uses information that is already well-known. It does not allow new, original research. Wikiversity lets users create and share their own articles and learning materials. You don't have to share every change with others. You can use your userpage to write your own articles.
Wikiversity in Different Languages
Wikiversity is a great place to create a small wiki. You can use it to learn about your favorite topic. This is especially true if the information comes from Wikipedia or Wikibooks. It's also a good place to practice using MediaWiki wiki tools.
