What is SAQA-U?

Introduction to SAQA University


"For You, By You, About You" is the motto of SAQA University, and we hope this will be quite apparent when SAQA members visit the SAQA-U wiki.*  Our members designed the wiki and added an astounding amount of content to it -- and we are just starting to see how powerful this tool is.  Any member can not only use the wiki as a resource and discussion tool, but add their own knowledge and information at any time.

The home page changes regularly, with featured areas, announcements, and tips. The Mentoring Forums and Audios area has information about upcoming mentoring events, recordings of the mentoring conference calls and links to resources. Each SAQA Region has its own set of pages as well.

The five main sections of SAQA-U (Art, Business & Marketing, Education, Resources, and Technology) are set up with lots of wonderful information already there -- and are ready for members to add their own information to share with others.  There are also online critique groups and information pertaining to our regional activities.

There will always be more to see as our members truly make SAQA-U For You, By You, About You.

* a "wiki" is an online encyclopedia where all members can add and edit content

This table is a sampling from the home page of SAQA-U.  The information is updated frequently (and would have links to the pages referenced).
