We have some classes that are editing primarily with the VE this term. Those classes still assigned the regular training for students, as the concepts about the community, policies, sourcing, and copyvios are important no matter which editor you use. We also thought the intro to wiki markup in the training would still be useful—for talk pages and other pages where you cannot enable the VE.

I suppose WMUK's learning environment is not something other language editions can profit from, right?

I still strongly prefer the Wikipedia:Training toolkit.

It depends what you want. The VLE is 81 lessons, now plus one new "digital literacy" course, and so is more than a quick introduction. It has quizzes, and I added some videos just before Wikimania.

A simple solution to teaching the VE would be perhaps two screen capture videos, demonstrating how to use it for some simple operations.
