Welcome to the School of Biology!

A school is a large organizational structure which can contain various departments and divisions. These should be listed in the "departments and divisions" section. The school page itself should not contain many learning resources. It may contain some projects for developing learning resources, and it may also contain recommendations for specific programs of study. Most learning resources are linked to from specialized portals in the "Topic:" namespace. The School of Biology is for coordinating the activities of Wikademia participants who edit the biology-related pages of Wikademia.

Divisions and departments

Divisions and Departments of the School exist on pages in "topic" namespace. Start the name of departments with the "Topic:" prefix; departments reside in the Topic: namespace. Departments and divisions link to learning materials and learning projects. Divisions can link subdivisions or to departments. For more information on schools, divisions and departments look at the Naming Conventions. Note: Some of the subject areas listed below may still have associated pages at Wikibooks that still need to be imported to Wikademia. If you do not see what you are looking for, feel free to start a new Learning Project. (List topics alphabetically)

Active participants

The histories of Wikademia pages indicate who the active participants are. If you are an active participant in this school, you can list your name here (this can help small schools grow and the participants communicate better; for large schools it is not needed).
