Dear education community,
I've recently been in contact with a researcher who is looking
at integration of Wikipedia into the education system and its usage with
middle school and high school students around the world.
They are seeking any documentation or data that different programs may have
from around the world.
If you have any relevant info to share, please feel free to share on this
thread or by responding directly to me, and I can connect you with the
researcher directly.
Thanks!
Tighe

Tighe hello
I'm sure you recall my pilot project in Middle School last year in my 8th
grade computer science class (you had sent me Wikipedia belongs in
Education stickers to give out to the participants). It was a huge success,
I wrote about it in the June Education newsletter. Also I have plenty of
experience in High school projects with my students at the Evening School:
some of these have been presented at tertiary education institutions and
one of the papers is in English.
I don't know what kind of data the researchers need but in terms of number
of students, articles written, Wikimedia projects we worked on (e.g. last
year I believe we were the first high school to work on Wikidata and
Wikispecies) I've got it. Please feel free to send them my contact details.
Best wishes,
Mina

Hey Tighe,
we have some experiences with this but no data. We have some documents but
everything in Czech of course so the easiest way is to have a call. If you
think that it can be useful, connect me with them, please ;)
Greetings from CEE Meeting,
Gabi

Dear all,
I was a bit distanced from Wikipedia, a while after being the first
president of Wikimedia Uruguay. I suffered a stroke; I was at the ICU for
70 days, and hospitalized for a whole year, but I've recovered, and back in
charge of the Wikipedia Education Program in the CEIBAL Plan.
The Wikipedia Education Program is entering its second stage, it seeks
reaching teachers in secondary education and languages from around the
country, and teaching them on how to work in education with Wikipedia, in
various Wikipedias, in Spanish, French, Portuguese and English .
The project was submitted before CEIBAL by me, and has won the support of
authorities at a national level; mainly because Wikipedia extends the work
in the classroom beyond physical boundaries. It serves the whole community,
while also benefitting students, who, working in a collaborative
environment, learn from the criticism and contributions of all the
community. We all know that knowledge is a collective construction, what
better way to build it than Wikipedia.
CEIBAL provides all students and teachers in the country with a notebook
and internet access, a perfect plainfield to add Wikipedia to, and that’s
what I’m working on. Moreover, I have already included Wikipedia in the
Communication Sciences Program of our country, under the slogan "Yes,
Wikipedia may have mistakes, learn how to correct them."
Best regards,
Fernando da Rosa

Dear all,
During Wikimania, representatives from the "Wikipedia & Education User
Group" organizing team have met with AffCom. AffCom members made some
suggestions regarding the formation of our group, and though we haven't
heard from them officially yet, we believe their suggestions requires a
wider discussion with all interested parties and potential members of the
group.
The meeting agenda will focus on* next steps, governance, membership and
the group's name* and will *last 1.5 hours.*
I have set up a doodle to schedule this meeting
<https://doodle.com/poll/kyassesr9w3dqwrd>. Please fill it out *by next
Tuesday, August 29th.* By Wed the 30th I'll announce the final date and
will send out a google hangout invite.
Best,
Shani (on behalf of the organizing team).
PS - this message will be posted on our talk page on Meta, as well as the
Wikipedia & Education FB group to ensure maximum participation.
(Note from LiAnna: Apologies for the cross-post if you've received this on
another open ed list already! Note that we at Wiki Education Foundation see
our work as OEP, open educational practice, in which students create open
educational content on the Wikimedia projects. I encourage our global
education collaborators to join the CC project as described in the letter
below!)
Greetings Open Education Colleagues:
In early 2017, the Creative Commons Global Network (CCGN) completed a
consultation process of renewing and reorganizing itself to support a
strong and growing global movement. The year-long process resulted in the
CCGN Global Network Strategy
<https://creativecommons.org/about/global-affiliate-network/network-strategy/>.
Part of the new strategy is to establish defined areas of focus, or
“platforms,” which will drive CC’s global activities. Platforms
<https://creativecommons.org/about/global-affiliate-network/network-platform…>
are how we organize areas of work for the CC community, where individuals
and institutions organize and coordinate themselves across the CC Global
Network.
In the spirit of openness and to effectively strategize, these platforms
are open to all interested parties working in the platform area and
adjacent spaces. That’s why Creative Commons invites you to join the CC
Global Network Open Education Platform!
