Dear all,
At the recent EduWiki conference in Serbia I presented a research piece on
the power of information literacy (and how our wiki programmes support it)
from the perspective of Wikimedia UK. I thought to share the resource here,
perhaps it will be a useful tool in your advocacy for the impact of our
education work, as a narrative to present the value of wiki workshop, or
serve as inspiration to do a similar project.
I'm also hosting a webinar next week if you'd like to hear me talk through
the report on *Wednesday 14th June 12pm UTC *

Booklet:

(short version

)
As a summary of the work, *Our main inquiry was to understand how improving
information literacy skills contributes to Wikimedia UK’s vision of a more
tolerant, informed and democratic society. Does our work increase
participants’ information literacy, and does this in turn lead to a more
engaged civil society? We reviewed the current understanding and frameworks
in the intersection of literacies, civic engagement and democratic
participation, to see how information literacy has been found to support
civic engagement. We then explored how Wikimedia UK’s work contributes to
civic disposition skills.*
Hope this sounds interesting to you all!

Hi everyone! I would like to ask if any of you know secondary schools that have successfully forked or adapted Wikimedia projects through the use of these valuable resources worldwide. I would appreciate your answer. Cheers!
Hi folks! I'm passing on this message on behalf of Shashwat, one of
the fantastic interns working on the Dashboard right now.
TLDR: he's looking for people who use or want to use the Dashboard to
track edits to specific sets of pages, to demo his designs for making
it easier and to learn what your use cases are.

Hi everyone!
I'm Shashwat, currently an intern working with Wiki Education on the
Dashboard. My project for this summer revolves around Article Scoped
Programs on the Programs & Events Dashboard
and how they can be improved. In a nutshell, Article Scoped Programs
lets you track edits to only a set of pages rather than every edit
made by a participant. These “sets of pages” are created using a
variety of scoping methods available on the Dashboard, namely
individually assigned articles, templates, categories, PetScan
queries, or PagePiles.
My goal is to create a new user interface for these scoping methods to
make them more intuitive to use and simplify how users select which
articles the Dashboard should track.
I currently have a basic prototype built and would love to hear your
feedback on it. This way, I can prioritize features which would be
most appreciated by program organizers and can also make sure that the
project is going in the right direction.
If any of you would be interested in chatting over a zoom meeting
about this, please let me know. I welcome any input or feedback that
you might have.
You can contact me over email(shashwatkhanna312(a)gmail.com) and we can
go from there.
Thanks
Shashwat
