Hi Tighe,
That makes things much more clear to me. Thank you!

Hi Yury,
From what I've seen on the English and Arabic Wikipedias, a course
page is created for a specific class for a specific time period
(semester/term). For example, you might have a History 101 class in
the Fall 2014 semester, and a History 101 class for the Spring 2015
semester. Each of these would have a separate course page, even if it
was the same curriculum and the same instructor -- mainly because the
list of students and articles will be different for each term.
The course page helps organize classes, but can also serve as a
historical record of the course and help with cohort analysis with
tools like Wikimetrics. So again, it's best to keep the student list
there and start a new course page for each term or editing period.
You may also notice that the term is automatically included in the
course URL structure on wiki in parentheses (). For example:
https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_the_Wikis/…
of_Wikipedia_(now)
Hope that helps!
Tighe

Dear edu community,
After the Education Program extension was recently enabled on
Ukrainian
Wikipedia, the next step for us is to learn how to use it:) And
while
there's plenty of useful information about it on English Wikipedia
as
well as on Glamwiki, I wasn't lucky enought to find out one thing:
are
the course pages (in the Education program: namespace) supposed to
be
reused when fresh group of students comes in on the following
year?
I.e., do the teachers usually just edit the old course page,
remove all
the students and start again with the same page or copy the course
plan
into a new page?
Thanks,
Yury Bulka
