With SlideWiki, users can create and collaborate on slides, diagrams and assessments, and arrange this content in richly structured course presentations. The SlideWiki EU project started in 2016 with 17 partners from Europe and Brazil using the award-winning open-source SlideWiki platform as a basis, aiming to create a large-scale accessible learning and teaching platform using educational technology, skill recognition and global collaboration. Due to the fact that the creation of comprehensive OpenCourseWare (OCW) is tedious, time consuming and expensive, the courseware employed by teachers, instructors and professors is incomplete, outdated, inaccessible to those with disabilities and dull. With the open-source SlideWiki platform, the effort of the creation, translation and evolution of highly structured remixable OCW can be crowdsourced. Similarly to Wikipedia for encyclopaedic content, SlideWiki allows to collaboratively create comprehensive OCW (curricula, slide presentations, self-assessment tests, illustrations, etc.) online with the objective to semi-automatically translate this content in more than 50 different languages, to improve the translations in a collaborative manner, and to support engagement and social networking of educators and learners around that content.
