Do not rely on the content of this site
Qedoc is formed as a voluntary association of individuals who wish to share their knowledge and teaching abilities with others. The concept of a broad and voluntary global association of this kind prohibits formal, hierarchical or strict content review procedures by qualified experts. Qedoc largely relies on the responsibility of each of the many individuals who have helped to build it.
- The Qedoc.org site itself is a wiki which can be edited by anyone at any time. Information may be inserted into the product documentation or into the learning library or other parts of this site which is misleading.
- The educational modules available from this site are under the responsibility of their respective authors, who in turn are not employees of Qedoc nor receive any payment for their contributions. These are people who have donated their time, efforts and knowledge (such as it is) in the hope of making the world of education a little better. They will have their shortcomings. Although contributions pass through a review process, this process does little more than weed out duplicate submissions and obvious nonsense. Contributions are not subjected to the same kind of expert review which one would expect of an academic publisher.
