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.

But I'm a student, and I don't know how to contribue!

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
