Help:Directions for contributors

Teachers
 Most appropriate articles are such that: In all of these cases the WikiLectures facilitate your work!
 * replace current "handouts" or other additions to the educational process;
 * enhance current educational materials by providing up-to-date and important information that is missing or not readily available;
 * replace frequently updated textbooks or study materials

Things to avoid: In the above-mentioned cases, the traditional ways of text preparation may be an option with subsequent conversion to PDF file. You can also upload only a piece of your work and than use external link from WikiLectures.
 * entering materials that are not necessary for undergraduate education;
 * entering short entries - dictionary definitions – these should be entered into the WikiLectures Dictionary or Wiktionary and then linked back here;
 * entering too extensive and detailed information;
 * entering highly original work or materials that require more extensive level of copyrights;
 * entering materials that quote other works and their citation could be considered as a copyright violation;
 * entering articles that contain pictures or other parts that should not be available to general public;

Students
Appropriate articles are such that:
 * complement study materials in cases when the available study materials are too detailed or incomprehensible;
 * were created as essays assigned by the teacher;
 * deal with exam questions.

Avoid articles that:
 * are not objective, up-to-date and with neutral point of view;
 * use copyrighted material without permission or are in conflict with author law;
 * copy accessible study materials without – selecting important information (main points) or summarizing more different sources;
 * are not related with educational process such as – autobiographical pages (there are some exception in case of user pages).
