Hello colleagues,
Some of you might be interested in this news article:

When we know that we have countless shortcomings in Wikimedia, I found it
refreshing to hear that some aspects of our content and community are
performing well and, on the whole, are serving the public interest.
Regards,

Dear Edu community,
In case some of you hit the issue where you can't add a Facilitator to a
course in the Outreach Dashboard - the workaroud is to have the user
login to English Wikipedia at least once.
Meanwhile I'm looking forward to the time when someone with the
knowledge of Ruby will get their hands dirty and fix this for us:

Hello, Wikimedia Education!
My name is Daniel Bogre Udell and I'm a co-founder at Wikitongues, a
non-profit organization and international volunteer community dedicated to
defending linguistic diversity. We're building the world's first public
archive of every language in the world, and counting some very enthusiastic
Wikimedians among our ranks, we're excited to announce that we've submitted
a proposal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikitongues_Poly_Feature_Set…>
for
this upcoming round of Wikimedia Project Grants to support Poly, an open
source platform for sharing and learning languages.
Poly stands to improve the language content for both Wiktionary and
Wikivoyages by creating a broader network of language content aggregation.
Through it, the breadth of these projects will be expanded and their
language accuracy improved. Furthermore, in gaining access to new language
communities working with Wikitongues, Wikipedia stands to benefit from the
incubation of new language editions.
We're eager for community feedback, so if you think there are any points of
alignment between Poly and Education, or any other Wikimedia projects,
please let us know in the project's discussion section
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:Project/Wikitongues_Poly_Featur…>
.
Finally, if you believe this project to be worthwhile, we would be honored
to have your endorsement, which you can enter in the project's Endorsements
section
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikitongues_Poly_Feature_Set…>.
We would also greatly appreciate it if you can spread the word among your
fellow Wikimedians.
Thank you very much!
Warmly,
Daniel Bogre Udell
Director

Vahid, thank you very much. It’s just the sort of thing I’m looking for. This would require some adaptation (for instance, the Wikimedia Israel rubric is premised solely on writing, rather than editing, articles), but it’s a good start.

Hi!
I'm in the process of launching a community consultation for Education
Program in Finland. I was wondering what is the state of the Programs &
Events Dashboard (https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/)? Is it
something we could use for our program starting next January?

Hello all:
I’d like build a catalogue or inventory of assessment (grading) rubrics for Wikipedia assignments, ranging from the simplest assignments to the most complex. I’m not referring to a grading structure (10% for this, 50% for that, etc.), but to a set of objective criteria for assessing the contributions within that structure. Usually, this will be in a two-dimensional format with “descriptors” that assess proficiency in various “dimensions” (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubric_(academic)), though other formats are possible. I’ve reviewed various materials, including the WikiEdu grading page (http://ask.wikiedu.org/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/tags:grading/…) and found some useful guidance at pages 14-19 of the Case Studies document. But I’d like to see if any of this has been translated into the kinds of rubrics I’m thinking of. I’m open to seeing what you’ve done in any discipline, even if it doesn’t follow the format I’m describing.
Apologies for any duplication between this list and the education-request list.

HI Piotr!
This is great to hear you are working on this. I haven't seen much about
how wikipedia in the classroom influences "real world" outcomes for
students and it is a much needed space for research to help make the case
for the Education Program to school administration. I am aware that WikiEd
is working on a project
<https://wikiedu.org/blog/2016/09/14/mr-8-2016/#more-9076> to learn more
about classroom outcomes in the U.S., but I'm not sure how that is going.
You can probably reach out to them for more information.
I am more than happy to help with the design of the questions.
All the best,
Edward

*TL:DR: The Community Engagement department invites you to participate in
the Leadership Development Dialogue now through October 16th [1]*
Hello there,
One of the really valuable, parts of our community, is the growing number
of volunteers who step beyond their comfort zone, and become guides,
mentors, and leaders for other parts of the volunteer community. This act
of emerging, to take on responsibilities that strengthen our community is
widespread, but also something that we need to embrace, refine and improve,
so that we have the capacity to meet our broader mission.
>From now through October 16th, the Community Engagement department invites
you to participate in an online dialogue about just how to describe and
build the leadership capacity. Please invite all who may be interested by
forwarding to your local community mailing lists, and be sure to join us
at: [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/
Leadership_Development_Dialogue
In particular, we need your help:
-
Improving the “Learning Days” and other leadership development programs
supported by the WMF and other organizations
-
Refining the language and concepts we use to describe “leadership” -- in
our initial exploratory engagement of focus groups, we found that the word
“leader” does not translate well across language and cultures.
In behalf of the Community Engagement department, we hope to see you on the
wiki!
