What's New at Outdoor Ed

We're always working adding of new features!

 

Outdoor Education Wikis

The Outdoor Ed Community is the fastest growing online resource for outdoor professionals like you that's why thousands of people use the site every day. Along with the Outdoor Education Library and Video Section we are pleased to open the Outdoor Education Wiki. Like all Wikis this portal is designed for you to be able to add new Wiki articles and edit current articles. This is a unique opportunity for the outdoor education community to build resources for all of us.

We are also moving all of the Outdoor Ed Articles to the Wiki to allow people to search for topics more easily. Pages in the Article Section are submitted by specific authors as standalone works and cannot be edited by community members. All other Wiki articles are editable and are published under the Creative Commons 3.0 license for public access. Make sure that you are posting material that you either have the rights to publish or is in public domain.

  • Overview of the Outdoor Education Wiki
  • To Add a Wiki Page go to the appropriate Wiki Section and click the Add Page link. User the Editor to post your article.
  • To Edit a Wiki Page go to that page and click the Edit Tab.
  • If your Wiki Page doesn't fit within a current Section or Chapter, Email Us requesting that we add a New Section or New Chapter Page. All Wiki Pages must be filed under the correct Section and Chapter. That will help us maintain a logical organization structure and help others locate your material easily.
  • If you want to add a more formal article or research paper where it's not appropriate to allow other people to edit the article then Email Us about adding it to our Articles Section.

New Site Design

The Design Team has been hard at work to bring you a whole new look at OutdoorEd.com. Cutting edge Web features and streamlined navigation make it easy to locate the content you need. This is just the first of a whole range of new features that we've been working on for the past few months. That's why tens of thousands visit Outdoor Ed every month.
