What is going on here?

You have stumbled upon the Kiwi. As the description states, the kiwi is a multidimensional, multimedia, self-adaptive, collective learning tool. What does this mean? Well, to learn all about it, read about the Kiwi.

Great, how do I start one?

Starting a Kiwi is as simple as having some students post material on this website. There are few procedures to get a Kiwi going, and once it begins, it will fill up and take on a life of its own. If you want to start a Kiwi or want to know how it can be managed, follow these steps.

Mediawiki is the language that binds this Kiwi together. It is also the language of Wikipedia. There are a vast array of resources on Wikipedia's help (e.g. Help:Wikitext and How to edit a page) that demonstrate how to format and work with the articles. For a more kiwi-unique introduction, read through our Formatting Primer.

Help! The page I'm moving from the old Kiwi is broken!

The language of Mediawiki_OldKiwi is different from reStructured Text_OldKiwi. For some key differences, see Differences between Mediawiki and reStructured Text_OldKiwi
