Hello everyone,
First of all, please take our apologies for the delay in publishing the
education newsletter, and here is the November edition of the education
newsletter:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/November_2020
Let's recognize the successes we have all achieved this year, everything we
did is a big achievement. Even in the challenging time we were able to
follow the new norm, went virtual, changed our projects accordingly
to support our community and our stakeholders. Personally, going through
all the newsletter articles in the last couple of months inspired me a lot,
and in these challenging times showed us the value "Wikimedia belongs in
education".
And this edition of the newsletter says it all, from 15 years of
using Wikimedia in education in Serbia to 10 years of Wikimedia education
in the US and Canada, Using Wikipedia as a tool to educate, also meet the 9
community members we met this year, stories from different affiliates, and
education team's end of the year review.
We will publish the December edition of the education newsletter along with
the January edition. You can still submit your articles here:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/Newsroom
I would like to give a big shoutout to the EduWiki Outreach Collaborators
newsletter team, Romaine, Ankan, Jony, and Monusha for their active support
in supporting the newsletter work.
My best wishes for the rest of the year and to the new year ahead.
Best!

Hello all,
The Community Development
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development> team at the
Wikimedia Foundation is launching the WikiLearn (Online Learning Pilot)
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development/WikiLearn>, a
capacity-building project. This project will deliver two courses over an
8-week period that will begin on February 1, 2021. Courses are free to take
part in and will be hosted on Moodle <https://moodle.com/>. During this
pilot project, each course will be taught, and assignments are to be
prepared, in English. At the end of the pilot, we will be making course
materials available for anyone interested in self-study, and for
translation.
The two courses we will be launching on February 1, 2021, are:
1.
Identifying and Addressing Harassment
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development/WikiLearn/Identifying…>:
This course will focus on developing skills that will help volunteers
respond to on- and off-wiki harassment.
-
This course will combine scheduled sessions and independent study.
The weekly commitment of this course is 2-3 hours per week.
-
Target Audience: Volunteers with administrator or other advanced user
rights.
1.
Partnership Building:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development/WikiLearn/Partnership…>
This
intensive course will provide an in-depth curriculum on how to develop
meaningful programmatic and organizational partnerships within the movement
and with external partners.
-
This course will consist of scheduled sessions and individual
assignments with a weekly total commitment of up to 6 hours.
-
Target Audience: Volunteers with intermediate-level experience
contributing to Wikimedia projects and beginner-level experience with
building partners with Non-Wikimedia groups and organizations.
To ensure our small team can provide each learner individual support, we
are limiting each course in this pilot to 40 participants. We ask that all
interested applicants commit to attending weekly for the full course.
All efforts will be made to ensure that scheduled sessions are time-zone
friendly to the greatest number of enrolled participants. However, with the
wide distribution of volunteers, that may not always be possible.
Key Dates:
-
Applications open Today (December 15, 2020) and will close on January 1,
2021.
-
Successful applicants will be notified on January 18, 2021.
-
The first session for each course will be held on February 1, 2021.
