Someone has created Meadowlark Bradsher's would-be Google Summer of
Code project from a few years ago:
http://peerwise.cs.auckland.ac.nz/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1tN006KEWo
They claim it is free, so is there anyone from the Foundation willing
to reach out to see if they will integrate with Wikiversity?
Best regards,
James Salsman
Hi everyone,
right. Looks like a very interesting material. Thanks for reminding.
I also like Samuels idea of supporting "non-edprogram"-teachers with such
material.
Hope to see you all @wikimania (maybe also @our meet
up<http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetups/Wikipedia_in_Education>
)
Best,
Elly

Dear all,
Dear activists for free knowledge in education,
since we are new to this list: first a "Hello" to all of you!
Throughout the last years Wikimedia Deutschland has gained a lot of
experience in the educational field. Working in this sector, we had a lot
of different programs and activities running quite separated and isolated.
In the last year we collected this know-how and combined these efforts.
Coming from this idea of separated programs, our perspective is now, to
follow a wider approach in education and to overcome the very specialized
approach we have followed before. This step was helpful for the development
of all running programs and the effective distribution of needed resources
in education at Wikimedia Deutschland (until the end of 2011, these were
highschool teachers/students, elderly people and universities). It makes
our work more efficient leveraging all synergies and helped us to be
accessable not only for special target groups but for all people!
We are only following this approach for a few months and many things are
new to us, but we are sure that other chapters and Wikipedians also have
similar success-stories to share in education. It would be very helpful to
exchange ideas and approaches between different partners in the wikimedia
movement active in the educational sector and get feedback to ideas
concerning educational activities.
A good opportunity to meet is the Wikimania 2012 in Washington.
Here we will offer a meeting table on Thursday July 12th called “Wikipedia
in education” where we can get together. See more and sign in
here<http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetups#Wikipedia_in_Education>
.
If you are not able to join this year’s Wikimania we are open to hear
feedback from you and to discuss questions and ideas. Let’s collaborate in
the educational global wikimedia movement!
We are looking forward to meeting some of you soon to share our knowledge.
sincerely,
Elly Köpf and Denis Barthel

The Wikimedia Foundation staff for the Wikipedia Education Program (Frank Schulenburg, Annie Lin, LiAnna Davis, Jami Mathewson, and I) will be hosting a scheduled public office hour in the #wikimedia-office IRC channel.
Date: Thursday, 21 June 2012
Time: 16:00 – 17:00 UTC (noon-1 p.m. EDT, 9-10 a.m. PDT) (click here for local time)
Topic: Wikipedia Education Program
This will be a general question and answer session. We have several exciting new developments coming up: a transition from staff-led programs to volunteer-led programs in North America, and a new piece of software for Wikipedia that will help us manage the program better. We also are happy to answer general questions you may have about the program.
If you have questions or concerns about the programs, or are simply curious, this is a great opportunity to gain better insight into these programs. If you are unable to attend, a link to the chat log will be posted at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours for public viewing following the session.
Details on how to join the session are included below. We look forward to chatting with you!

If you haven't used IRC before, it may be easiest to use a web client; this means you don't have to install any software on your computer. Just click here to join in, and then choose a username when prompted: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikimedia-office You may be prompted to click through a security warning. It's fine.
For more information about IRC software you can install on your computer, go to the Wikipedia entry on IRC or the Meta page on Wikimedia IRC. If using dedicated software, connect to the channel #wikimedia-officeconnect on the freenode network.
(If you're on the Cultural Partners list you might already have heard about
this, apologies if so)
In a few weeks time Wikimedia UK will be holding, jointly with JISC, a
World War I editathon. The aim of this is to bring academics who study the
War together with Wikimedians who write (mainly) Wikipedia articles. We
have some great people from both communities coming along (and there is
still space for more, if you're interested, jump in!)
As it involves university lecturers it's pretty clearly education-relevant,
though in fact I think it's more closely modelled on the British Museum
Hoxne Hoard collaboration than anything else.
The favour I need to ask is that while I have academics in the room I
should probably talk at least a very little bit about how the Education
Programme has worked in the US and elsewhere - is there a one page summary
anywhere that I can work in while I'm talking about more military
history-focused stuff?

Many thanks,
