This quite brilliant! I ran an editathon at the WWI musuem in Kansas City
that involved mostly senior citizens. They were really recpetive, and as
the primary volunteer group for the museum, had a significant investment in
researching the war. They are very interested in continuing to support that
group in developing the skills and definitely need the regularity that a
multiweek course provides. Could you provide the lesson plans and a how-to
somewhere on-wiki (meta or outreach maybe?)? We could definitely
dessiminate this case study through the Wikipedia Library and I think other
GLAMs could capitalize on the model.
