Hello everyone,
After a successful implementation of the Wikipedia in African Libraries
project, we are glad to announce that all reports and resources generated
by the project have been made freely available online for the benefit of
all.
You can now access the complete course material (both English and French
versions) in addition to questionnaires, pre-research (baseline) and post
training evaluation reports.
Visit https://web.aflia.net/wikipedia-course/
Feel free to reach us if you have some questions or want to learn more from
our experiences.
Kindest regards,
AfLIA Communications
