Welcome to Wikiversity's Non-formal Education
Portal. Non-formal education is the official umbrella term
for all education which takes place outside the formal sector,
where formal education comprises the provision of education at pre-school, primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Non-formal
education includes learning alongside and outside schools and
universities, such as sports and hobbies. It also include much of
professional and vocational education, adult literacy training,
lifelong learning. Opportunities for non-formal education may be
provided by libraries, companies and clubs as well as by schools
and colleges in the form of extra-curricular activities. On the
international scale, non-formal education is critical in developing
countries as a method of overcoming inherited skills deficits.
Wikiversity is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation (which also
runs Wikipedia) and our Non-formal Education Portal offers
everyone, from all over the world, the opportunity to create and
share open resources. Everything you place here will be immediately
available to others, and you can immediately use or adapt anything
which others have placed here. If Wikiversity is able to emulate
the success of its sister project at Wikipedia, then we can hope to
build one of the world's largest centres for non-formal education
here.
Lunar Boom Town is one of a set of strategic engineering
simulations intended to help interested parties and organizations
with research and self education efforts. It is hoped that
participants will eventually be involved with implementation of
engineering technologies, business ventures, and research endeavers
sufficient and necessary to establish successful space settlements.
