| Abstract | The Wikieducator was launched in 2006, specifically for on-line creation of educational resources collaboratively. The Wikieducator is financially supported by Commonwealth of Learning, Vancouver, Canada. Since the Wikieducator targets teachers and educators for content creation, the community feels the need to promote learning of wiki skills as well as spreading the understanding of Open Educational Resources. The COL funds Learning for Content (L4C) Workshops in the Commonwealth countries that also helps build the WikiEducator community.
