Welcome to the World Wide Web School Health Encyclopdia. This wiki-based web site is the home of a world wide collaborative effort to create and support a global knowledge translation and exchange program through the production of a glossary and encyclopedia explaining key concepts as well as handbooks and extensive bibliographies/toolboxess of research and resources that are created and maintained by experts, practitioners, officials and policy-makers from countries around the world. Learn more about this knowledge exchange program.

Through the power of the Internet, we hope that our webinars, on line discussions, web meetings and wiki-based products will promote more effective and efficient practices, programs and policies. We thank the numerous writers, contributors, presenters and sponsors who have already provided their time, expertise and funds to this program.

This type of summarized, quick response information is complementary to the articles published in peer reviewed journals, which are not able to to include important aspects about the programs they have studied and do not include the wisdom gleaned from the experience of practitioners.

We hope to engage an ever-expanding number of practitioners, graduate students, managers, government officials and researchers in these discussions that will complement, consolidate and consider peer-reviewed articles and textbooks. Our plan is to seek small grants and in-kind contributions from around the world that will create these summaries on topics being studied and addressed by them, in order to share that work with others around the world.

We believe that the development and sharing of these topical and timely summaries will be of significant value to government departments/ministries and knowledge organizations who need to quickly assess the evidence and the experience with a selected topic before committing to larger scale inquiries or funding projects. Please see the roles and benefits to sponsors from this program.

We hope to make this program part of university classes and knowledge exchange organizations, offering them a shared, interactive and international venue for discussions in webinars, web meetings and wiki-based writing projects. Please see our description of the role and benefits for university faculty/classes and staff development/knowledge exchange officers.

We invite your suggestions and comments on the contents of these pages through the Discussion Forum and other tools of this web site. As well, any suggestions about our overall approach would be welcome. Please send the comments or questions to dmccall@internationalschoolhealth.org
