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.

== Who can participate?==
+
All Purdue students and faculty members are invited to contribute. You can simply login using your Purdue Career account.  Contributions from Purdue alumni are also encouraged. (Please email mboutin at purdue dot e d u for login instructions.)

== Who is behind all this? ==

The PI of this project is [http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~mboutin Professor Mireille (Mimi) Boutin]. The initial development work was done in collaboration with Katie Bouman (now at U. of Michigan). The current student development team includes [[User:dmsnell|Dennis Snell]] (ECE) and [[User:dkingsmi|Deen King-Smith]] (ECE). We are delighted to announce that [http://cobweb.ecn.purdue.edu/~yunglu/index.html Professor Yung-Hsiang Lu] has now joined the project as a co-PI.

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!
