Hi, Ambassadors!
I've been looking through the new Education
Extension<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Courses>[1]
to see how things are going so far this semester, and it looks like some
professors are still learning the ropes (as we all are!). There are quite a
few classes whose students have not yet enrolled on the Course Pages, so
please do encourage any professor you are working with to have them
"enroll" as soon as possible. This will help us all monitor their
contributions, provide feedback, and keep up with the work our awesome
students are doing on Wikipedia! On that note, please do make sure your
classes have a Course Page in general!
There are also still some classes without Online Ambassadors (unless you
have not signed on to the class yet), so I made a list of those (see
below). If you still have the capacity to work with a class or two this
semester and are interested in any of these classes, please sign on :)! If
the professor is unresponsive on-wiki (or if you prefer communicating via
email), please email me for the correct contact information!
Don't forget: if you still haven't added yourself to the list of Campus
Ambassadors or Online Ambassadors, please add your request to this user
right request
page<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Ambassadors/Become_an_a…
and then create your relevant profile[3][4]. This should help us create a
permanent database of all of our program participants, which will be very
useful down the line.
Thanks for all the hard work you guys have already been doing this
semester! I've seen a ton of your welcome messages, guidance, and support
all over our students' talk pages and sandboxes! If anyone has any
questions, class updates, concerns, exciting news, or anything else to
discuss, don't forget that you can post to this mailing list! Also, if you
have some awesome student work you'd like to profile, please remember to
update the Trophy
Case<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Courses/Trophy_c…
[5]!
Thanks, all!
Jami

*TL;DR: *
*1. Some classes still need Course Pages; many Course Pages still need
enrolled students. *
*2. Please check out the list of classes looking for an OA and sign on if
available. *
*3. Don't forget to create an Ambassador profile, add any great work to the
Trophy Case, and continue being as awesome as you all are!*
