Paper Abstract:
|
Popularity of E-learning is growing by the day; in particular, its use in computerized campuses and continuing education
is practically predominant. At the same time, the globalization demands force us to re-think educational applications,
which some time ago were developed primarily in a single language. Not only there are many multilingual countries, but
also more and more people learn several languages to be able to cope with new challenges. This paper proposes to use
multilingual wikis to teach and learn both, the subject matters and various languages. Since the existing multilingual
wikis are not suitable for these purposes, we designed MultiWiki, a multilingual wiki that supports e-learning and
encourages studying materials in various languages and translating them to other languages. |
