| '''Wikademia''' is an online research and educational wiki that exists to enable and facilitate free and open [[research]], and [[education]] in all [[languages]]. Wikademia is for everyone who would like to collect, [[creativity|create]], and share [[knowledge]]. If you are new to Wikademia and/or [[wikis]] in general. So, [[experiment]]. After a bit, you'll understand what this educational wiki is about. Wikademia can be thought of as the YouTube for original ideas, collaboration, and original research, except it uses text and pictures instead of video. It is difficult to do things wrong around here. Wikademia is meant to be like an open source version of an academic university setting, but it is not a real school and is not a degree granting institution. | |
