James,
I'm editing right now to add the documentation! I agree it will be helpful
so others can tag articles, too!

LiAnna,
This is great, and very encouraging to see a likely solution here. Can
you please post guidance to admins on WP:AN for how to tag articles
which need to be listed in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_program/Tasks
whether they are being worked on by official WikiEd-onboarded classes or
not?
And shouldn't there be a category for suspected plagiarism / copyvios?
The vast majority of the problems I've seen over the past year have
been due to copy-and-paste plagiarism from students whose teachers
have assigned them Wikipedia editing tasks without being a formal part
of Wiki Ed-supported classes. Do you think there needs to be some way
to make a higher-profile outreach to such teachers so they can have
the huge benefit of your formal guidance and materials? And also, with
luck, some way to associate the list of articles involved with editing
assignments with some way for editors and admins to contact the
faculty responsible for those assignments when things are going wrong?
Best regards,
James Salsman

Hi education program leaders,
Just wanted to flag for you that Wiki Ed (the organization that runs the
education program in the US and Canada) has made some changes to our
support
structure for next term:
http://wikiedu.org/blog/2014/12/18/changes-to-classroom-program-for-spring-…
I wanted to head off any other programs from thinking "does this mean we
should change too?" by saying it's something that's right for the size of
our program and the support we're able to provide from paid staff, but
that
doesn't mean it's right for your program,
too. :) It makes sense for us
as
an organization with 12 paid staff supporting
(likely) more than 100
classes
next term, but that's obviously something
unique to Wiki Ed and our
program.
I'm happy to answer any questions,
LiAnna
