Tools for analyzing disciplinary representation
by Matthew Vetter 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Hi All, I am working with Wiki Ed this semester in a class project to edit disciplinary topics related to digital literacy and rhetoric, with an eye towards editing articles to better represent minority scholars and research. As part of this project, I would also like students to be able to analyze disciplinary coverage (or lack of coverage) on topics related to this subject area (digital literacy, digital rhetoric, digital humanities). I am looking for tools that would help me do quantitative analysis of mainspace Wikipedia articles within a given category - so that I can follow these up with some local qualitative analysis regarding the representation (or lack of representation) of minority scholar(s)/(ship)coverage in the encyclopedia. So far I have identified Yanker (https://tools.wmflabs.org/pirsquared/ts_archive/mzmcbride/yanker.py/)and XTools (https://xtools.wmflabs.org) as possible tools for this kind of work. Just wondering if anyone had any additional ideas? Thanks, Matt Matthew A.

by Tighe Flanagan 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Dear education community, I wanted to relay the call for endorsements of the Strategic Direction that you may have seen in other channels. There is more information in the message below on the general process and context. If you want to highlight education as part of your endorsement, please *consider using the #education hashtag in your edit summary as part of your endorsement*, whether as an individual or as an affiliate: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Direction/… I look forward to seeing how the next steps develop, especially in the education space. Sincerely, Tighe -- Tighe Flanagan Senior Manager, Wikipedia Education Program Wikimedia Foundation tflanagan(a)wikimedia.org education.wikimedia.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nicole Ebber <nicole.ebber(a)wikimedia.de> Date: Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 3:31 AM Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Movement Strategy: Endorse the strategic direction today! #wikimedia2030 To: wikimediaannounce-l <WikimediaAnnounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedians, Today marks the final milestone of phase 1 of our movement strategy process. Over the past eight months, many of you, of your peers, colleagues, partners and friends have contributed to an endeavor that resulted in the new Strategic Direction of the Wikimedia movement. This direction provides us with an answer to the question: What do we want to build and achieve as a movement over the next 10–15 years: By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us.[1] On behalf of the strategy team, it’s with great pleasure that I invite you today to declare your intent to work together towards this future. Organized groups as well as individual contributors of our movement are invited to endorse the Strategic Direction by adding their signature to the endorsement page on Meta-Wiki. You will find all necessary instructions there.[2] By endorsing the Strategic Direction, you are not necessarily agreeing with every single outcome of the first phase. Endorsing means that you commit to participating in the next phase of this discussion in good faith and to help define, by Wikimania 2018, how to come to an agreement on roles, responsibilities, and organizational strategies that enable us to implement that future. In addition to signing the meta page, you are all welcome to use the #wikimedia2030 hashtag on social media to celebrate and share your excitement with the world and encourage other Wikimedians to show their support, too. Ideally, please leave questions or remarks on the talk page, to make it easier to follow-up in a structured way. Thank you!

IP block for edit-a-thons?
by Juliana Bastos Marques 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Hi all! I'd like to know if there is any IP block for many registrations at a time in English Wikipedia. I'm aware of the problem in Portuguese Wikipedia, where I have conducted a number of edit-a-thons. I'm planning a couple of edit-a-thons at Florida State University this month. For the first one, related to the Bridges across Cultures contest [1], I guess there will be less than 10 people, maybe up to 20 for the next one. Thank you, Juliana [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bridges_across_Cultures -- www.domusaurea.org

Quick question on Education Dashboard
by Arne Wossink 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hi all, Just a quick question on the education dashboard: am I correct that this dashboard is intended for US/Canada courses only? If so, does that someone from a Dutch institution wanting to use the dashboard has to use the programs & events dashboard instead? If the education dashboard can be used, can it be used on multiple languages or non-English WPs? Best, Arne Wossink Projectleider / Project Manager Wikimedia Nederland *(Werkdagen: maandag, dinsdag, donderdag / Office hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday)* Tel. +31 (0)6 11000505 E-mail: wossink(a)wikimedia.nl *Post/bezoekadres:* Mariaplaats 3 3511 LH Utrecht

Fwd: General Issue Deadline of Nov. 15, 2017 for the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy
by Alex Stinson 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Great journal opportunity for content related to the Education Program! Cheers, Alex ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Communication at JITP <communication(a)jitpedagogy.org> Date: Sun, Oct 1, 2017 at 7:48 PM Subject: General Issue Deadline of Nov. 15, 2017 for the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy To: sadads(a)gmail.com View this email in your browser <http://mailchi.mp/9fefe374ca9b/general-issue-deadline-of-nov-15-2017-for-th…> *The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy *is accepting submissions until November 15, 2017 for our upcoming general issue. *Issue Editors:* *Laura Wildemann Kane, University of Tampa Michelle A. McSweeney, Columbia University* The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy seeks scholarly work that explores the intersection of technology with teaching, learning, and research. We are interested in contributions that take advantage of the affordances of digital platforms in creative ways. We invite both textual and multimedia submissions employing interdisciplinary and creative approaches in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Besides scholarly papers, the submissions can consist of audio or visual presentations and interviews, dialogues, or conversations; creative/artistic works; manifestos; or other scholarly materials. All work appearing in the Issues section of JITP is reviewed by the issue editors and independently by two scholars in the field, who provide formative feedback to the author(s) during the review process. We practice signed, as opposed to blind, peer review. We intend that the journal itself—both in our process and in our digital product—serve as an opportunity to reveal, reflect on, and revise academic publication and classroom practices. Additionally, all submissions will be considered for our “Behind the Seams” feature, in which we publish dynamic representations of the revision and editorial processes, including reflections from the authorial and editorial participants. Research-based submissions should include discussions of approach, method, and analysis. When possible, research data should be made publicly available and accessible via the Web and/or other digital mechanisms, a process that JITP can and will support as necessary. Successes and interesting failures are equally welcome (although see the Teaching Fails section below for an alternative outlet). Submissions that focus on pedagogy should balance theoretical frameworks with practical considerations of how new technologies play out in both formal and informal educational settings. Discipline-specific submissions should be written for non-specialists. As a courtesy to our reviewers, we will not consider simultaneous submissions, but we will do our best to reply to you within three months of the submission deadline. The expected length for finished manuscripts is under 5,000 words. All work should be original and previously unpublished. Essays or presentations posted on a personal blog may be accepted, provided they are substantially revised; please contact us with any questions at editors(a)jitpedagogy.org For further information on style and formatting, accessibility requirements, and multimedia submissions, consult JITP’s accessibility guidelines <http://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id=…> and style guide <http://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id=…> . *Important Dates* Submission deadline for full manuscripts is* November 15th, 2017*. Please view our submission guidelines <http://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id=…> for information about submitting to the Journal. <http://cuny.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…> <http://cuny.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id…> <http://cuny.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d55d162acd43cdb3525dd014&id=…> *Copyright © 2017 The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy, All rights reserved.* This mailing is is for individuals who would like to be updated about new issues and deadlines for The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy.
