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.

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.

A multidimensional, multimedia, self-adaptive, collective learning tool.

Kiwi was version 1.0 of a new student-driven learning tool developed by Prof. Mimi Boutin. It retired in August 2008 when we moved to a new server and software. Kiwi was created and developed by Dennis Snell, William Ehlhardt, Deen King-Smith, Stephen Rudolph and many other students. Thanks to all for their efforts and see you on Rhea!
