Re: [Wikimedia-KR] starting a Teaching with Wikipedia program in Korea

안녕하세요. 제가 위키매니아 홍콩 행사에서 Piotr(한국이름은 '피터'를 쓰신다고 하네요) 님을 만났습니다. 이 프로그램을 미국에서 이미 훌륭하게 수행을 하신 경험이 있어서 아주 전문가시더라고요. 아래 링크를 보시고, 어떤 활동인지 파악을 하시고 관심이 생기시면 지원을 부탁드립니다. 현재 다음 학기를 위하여 2~3명의 한국어 능통한 위키백과 편집자를 찾고 있다고 하시네요. 피터 교수님은 한양대학교(안산캠퍼스)에서 주로 강의를 하시고 계시는 것 같습니다. 향후 위키미디어 한국지부에서 이 활동을 열심히 해서 숨겨진 많은 편집자를 발굴할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 류철 드림 2013. 8. 16., 오후 12:26, Piotr Konieczny <piokon(a)post.pl> 작성: come to Korea in February and I work as a professor of sociology at Hanyang University. In US I've been doing a lot of teaching with Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/User…), and I'd like to do so here as well. After my first Spring semester I have however came to the conclusion that while my lectures are in English, my students English skills are not good enough for them to focus on contributing solely to English Wikipedia; therefore I'd like to have them contribute at least partially to Korean Wikipedia. As I cannot speak Korean I would need assistance from some Korean speakers who would like to become Campus Ambassadors ( https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Campus_Ambassador). I wonder if there are any Korean Wikipedians who would like to assist me with this? just need to spend one few hour session with you showing you some case studies and tools), and then we would practice in my courses this Fall. Ambassador duties would be primarily related to interacting with students (in Korean Wikipedia in Korean), making sure they are doing constructive and on topic edits, and they have somebody to ask for help. Coming to class twice or so during the course term to meet with students in person, answer their questions, and such, is helpful, too. This is not a very demanding activity, I'd estimate that it shouldn't take more than 10 or so hours of your time for the entire semester, 20 at max (that counts the initial training, travel time for physical meetings, and time spent online interacting with students). Starting Spring, hopefully, we may be able to recruit other professors; I plan on holding a workshop about this for interested faculty, but I cannot do so until after I have at least some confirmed Korean-speaking ambassadors to help me. my students were able to produce about ~20 Good Articles on English Wikipedia and few dozen other nice articles over the ~4 or so years I was teaching there. is also something to add on your CV (good for teaching careers, good for those planning on studying abroad as it helps to show innovative extra curricular activities), and WMF may send you swag like shirts, stickers, bags and similar goodies. So, particularly for those of you who are currently at the university, think of it as a good career move. This is not only for students (although majority of CA begin as students). If you are an academic instructor (professor), this is good for our careers, too (I am speaking from personal experience here, too). If you are a teacher and would like to get on board of this, I'd be happy to help you out, too. with interested volunteers in August. I will have two classes each with ~30 or so students contributing to Wikipedias (English and Korean) beginning in September and I really hope to get some assistance from Korean Wikipedians for that. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-KR mailing list Wikimedia-KR(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-kr
