What is GlobalCampus? GlobalCampus connects young people with universities around the world to help them find the best opportunities for their future, wherever located.

How does it work? GlobalCampus is an online community: students and institutions can create a profile and connect. Student profiles work like CVs. Students can indicate the schools they have attended, their personal achievements, their aspirations and their preferred destinations to study. They can also add sample works and videos to present themselves and their interests. University profiles are generated directly by a university’s community - staff, faculty, current students and alumni. They feature both subjective information, like articles and presentation videos, and objective information, like admission requirements and course synopses. On GlobalCampus students can express their talent to receive offers from universities around the world, while universities can communicate their best assets to tudents in any country.

What are the next steps? We are now working on adding scholarship providers, so that once registered a student will know also where there are funds available for her. (Did you know that every year hundreds of millions of dollars worth of scholarships go unclaimed? Thousands of people are eligible to receive financial aid to study somewhere in the world right now, but they simply don’t know about it. We would like to change that).

在Wikipedia手机版网站经历了多个开发阶段之后，最近，Wikimedia的首席移动开发师汉普顿·卡特林（Hampton Catlin）终于在Wikimedia技术博客上宣布网站已经转移到新服务器上，为正式运行做好了准备。 目前，该网站支持iPhone、Kindle、Android和Palm Pre，有德语和英语两种语言，而其他语言版还处在翻译研发阶段。“我们的目标是逐渐发展，越做越好……到目前为止发展得还不错。”卡特林写道。
