I just get a response from the admins at es.wiki, asking about getting teachers flagged for the course extension.https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tabl%C3%B3n_de_anuncios_d…
Basically the answer is no. They have to have editing experience and show that they at least have the ability to speak Spanish and show they can be good course coordinators.
The actual response is here
Respuesta: No. Hola estimada. Verás, las cuentas de usuario que mencionas, salvo Paolaricaurte, tienen pocas o ningua contribución con el proyecto. No puedo evaluar si serán buenos coordinadores, si hablan español, sí comprenderán la estructura del programa o las políticas del proyecto. Esto es importante, pues son ellos quienes velarán por el correcto trabajo de sus alumnos y quienes serán enlace con el resto de la comunidad. Al no poder evaluar lo anterior, prefiero ser prudente y esperar a que ellos demuestren ser capaces de editar y de hacer comprender a los demás los diversos desafíos que se puedan presentar. Como alternativa, puedes modificar sus perfiles de usuario, para que sean instructores o ayudantes de campus. Un saludo, Jmvkrecords ⚜ Intracorrespondencia 00:36 11 dic 2014 (UTC).
Looks like Im going to be making 40+ courses in the extension come January and adding the instructors myself.

Hi education program leaders,
Just wanted to flag for you that Wiki Ed (the organization that runs the
education program in the US and Canada) has made some changes to our
support structure for next term:
http://wikiedu.org/blog/2014/12/18/changes-to-classroom-program-for-spring-…
I wanted to head off any other programs from thinking "does this mean we
should change too?" by saying it's something that's right for the size of
our program and the support we're able to provide from paid staff, but that
doesn't mean it's right for your program, too. :) It makes sense for us as
an organization with 12 paid staff supporting (likely) more than 100
classes next term, but that's obviously something unique to Wiki Ed and our
program.
I'm happy to answer any questions,
LiAnna

Hello everyone,
We are now working on the content of the last issue of the Education
newsletter for this year (December issue), and we will continue receiving
your updates in the newsroom
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/Newsroom> until
December 28th when we will start getting the new issue ready for publishing.
We have already received interesting updates from UK by Toni, Uruguay by
Fernando and Sweden by Sara Mortsell. Thank you guys!
If anyone else have more updates please go ahead with posting them to the
newsroom now. If you have some ideas and you need help compiling them,
please let me know so I can work with you on writing or write the post for
you.
Ideas for inspiration for December newsletter:
1. Student progress stories.
2. New courses/professors joining your program.
3. Activities you have with your program community to celebrate the end of
your successful year.
4. Summarizing how your program developed throughout the year, i.e. the
program expansion, new students, volunteers, professors, etc.
It will be nice if we have some posts related the end of 2014 to make this
month in education a special one!
Please let me know if you have any questions or need my help with anything.
Best,

I think Ive mentioned this here before but its still a problem
Last semester, we had nine classes in the es.wiki course extension. There were two problems.
1) as I am the only one (so far) with the permission/flag to create classes, I have to add the (real) instructors as instructors, rather than creators. This means that they cannot add students to their own course.
That would not be such a big deal if not for ....2) The link that is generated for students to enter and add themselves to a course sometimes works and sometimes not. It seems to be a problem with the use of accent marks in words in the url. I thought by changing "Tecnológico de Monterrey" to "Tec de Monterrey" as the institution name, Id be able to eliminate the problem. However, unfortunately the url contains the word "inscripción" (registration) with an accent mark.
I just created a course for teacher training from now through next semester with the inscription here http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Inscripci%C3%B3n/Tec_de_Monterrey,_Ca… and tried registering under my account, which worked. But when my husband tried on his computer with his account he received a message saying that the site does not exist. Another teacher has emailed me with the same issue.
All language classes on three campuses are being asked/required to do something with es.wiki or Commons next semester. That is a LOT of classes and even more student students even if only a third of them work with es.wiki. I dont see how I can set up everything for teachers and students on the course extension. I have a request to get permission/flag at least for the teachers who worked with wiki last semester (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tabl%C3%B3n_de_anuncios_de_los_bibl…) but es.wiki right now requires applicants to hav significant editing experience, not just experience supervising students. No answer yet on whether it will be approved or not.
I guess this is a bug but I have no idea how or to whom to report it.
I wish to be removed from this mailing list.
Thank you

Hello Everyone,
Apologies for any cross postings.
We are pleased to announce that the newsletters of October and November are
ready for reading!
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/October_2014/Highl…https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/November_2014/High…
We apologize for being late with the October issue. Last month was very
busy for us. Samir joined our team recently and Anna was teaching him the
ropes. The upside is: more news to read now. :)
As you can see in the November issue, several of the article were written
by Samir. For those of you who are too busy to write an article yourself or
who may lack confidence writing in English, Samir is able to support you
either by helping you write your article yourself or by writing it for you
with your input.
Thank you all for sharing your stories and learnings! If you have news to
share with everyone next month, just add a post in the newsroom or email
Samir <selsharbaty(a)wikimedia.org>.
All the best,
Anna Koval, Manager, Wikipedia Education Program, Wikimedia Foundation
