WikiSkills Project
[edit]WikiSkills (http://wikiskills.net/) aims to empower and foster wiki usage and to develop training courses to consolidate wiki skills in today society.
Wiki tools are used worldwide as a collaborative and participative working processes tool mostly to organise and develop information from an open group of users. Those collaborative groups, beyond the technical knowledge, need a set of rules governing users’ behaviours, so a respectful and civil interaction can take place. WikiSkills aims to join the Information Technology learning dynamics with this social collaborative aspect that can be an important added value for society. Wikis are not only an Information Technology tool; WikiSkills aims to investigate their impact on society because it implies very important social behaviours as cooperation, respect, team working, content development and community management. The WikiSkills project aims to analyse and apply benefits of using wikis for lifelong learning programmes, thus empowering civic behaviour, social inclusion, employability, cultural understanding and abilities to learn autonomously.
WikiSkills would achieve those objectives providing training courses on wiki tools and skills to the target groups. These courses will provide a basic understanding of new information and communication technologies and Internet participative usage. Furthermore, it will introduce to wiki tools, its sources, personal benefits and social effects.
