A “Kiwi” is a student-driven internet-based learning tool. More precisely, it is a repository of linked multimedia content collectively created by students.  The design and underlying software are also controlled by students.

== Why the name “Kiwi”? ==
 
  
Because, in a sense, the Kiwi is the opposite of a wiki page in Wikipedia: while the goal of a wiki page is to have knowledgeable people collectively build an authoritative reference on a subject, the goal of the kiwi is to have people who, a priori, know nothing about a subject collectively build their own learning resource. The end result is very different: instead of a single, agreed upon reference, we end up with a pot pourri of information. The navigational challenges presented by the latter illustrate the true nature of the problem of learning in the real world.
