<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}">
This page aims to offer a reasonably comprehensive guide to [[Help:category|categorised]] Wikiversity content. The lists here are mainly generated ''dynamically'' (automatically) and provide multiple alternative navigation pathways. Wikiversity users are diverse, so no single exploration path is adequate. Also note that that many parts of Wikiversity are still under development. Users are encouraged to explore, but also to build and add new content; this is all part of learning. An earlier version of this page can be found [[Wikiversity:Browse/Old|here]].

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By Educational Level}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by educational level. There is also a [[Help:Accessing Wikiversity by educational level|guided tour to these portals]].

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By Resource Type}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by resource type. This route is rather rough and ready for the time being, as people's consistency and willingness to categorise their resources by type has been somewhat lacking. It is hoped that by spotlighting the "by resource type" exploration path, people will slowly improve the tagging of resources by resource type.

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By Department}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by department. Historically Wikiversity had something called "departments" which were put into the "Topic" namespace, and you can browse through them here.

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By School Subject}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by school subject. The school subject portals aim to give a more friendly and useful access route for users interested in pre-tertiary (pre-school, primary and secondary) education. In Wikiversity's early days, departments established themselves in a university-orientated fashion, perhaps choking out other initiatives. The school subject portals aim to offer users an alternative route to resources in their subject area which is free of the extreme specialisation which occurs at tertiary level and which is friendly and comprehensible to schoolchildren.

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By Learning Project}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
During the course of its history, Wikiversity was instructed to organize itself more closely around "learning projects", so a structure appeared which offers an alternative way to explore content.

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By University Faculty}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by "faculty", where "faculty" is understood in the international (non-US American) sense of a major division of a university. Wikiversity is not a real university, but you can explore Wikiversity using the metaphor of a university. If you prefer the word "school" to "faculty", please skip to the box below.

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By University School}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by "school", where "school" is understood in the US American sense of a major division of a university. Wikiversity is not a real university, but you can explore Wikiversity using the mataphor of a university. If you prefer the word "faculty" to "school", please skip to the box above.

{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By user type}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by user type. There are only a few of these, and the user type portals offer access routes based around the ''role'' you wish to play at Wikiversity.

{{Robelbox/close}}
{{Robelbox|theme=1|title=By completion status}}
<div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}; font-size:90%">
You can browse Wikiversity by the completion status of resources, which can help you find complete resources reading for using, or freshly started ones which you can help develop. Work also needs to be done on categorising resources by completion status, which is why some of the categories here are rather empty.
