Thanks for your reply, Lila!
Could you tell us a little more about your courses? You mentioned they
are offered for the community - meaning outside the university? Are your
students undergrads/grads, any other group in particular? You mentioned
teachers - what sort? I'm very interested in setting up a course focused on
teachers, I haven't done that before. I'd like to offer a 4-day workshop
for History professors on our next national symposium, but this would be
new to me. I just offered a regular undergrad course, an open extension
course and 4h workhops.
I'd very much like to see your material, if I can! I have to find out how
to set the guests option for my page... I'd love to hear everyone's
feedback for what I've been doing there.
Juliana.

Hi all! Too bad to see this list being so quiet,
as I'd love to hear
from
other professors and find out what you're
doing in your classes. Many
discussions take place on the WP talk pages, but it's hard to keep
track of
everything there!
At the end of the month I'l be starting an undergraduate course in
which
I'll use both Wikipedia and Moodle. For
Wikipedia, the usual: articles,
userpages, talk, sandboxes etc. I'll use Moodle for forum discussions,
assignments and extra reading/media material. This is part of an
experimental initiative in Brazilian public universities to create
working
models for the merging of traditional and
distance learning classes,
and
I'll be the first one to do this together
with our well-known Wikipedia
Education Project.
My point is, I'd like to know whether any of you here or someone you
know
has used Moodle to support a course with
Wikipedia assignments. I'll be
happy to hear about such experiences. And I'll share mine when I have
them,
of course.
Hi Juliana, and everyone in this list,
I have been using moodle to support 2 short courses on Wikipedia
editing, courses offered from university to community, in specific
topics (gender topics) or for specific people (teachers).
In both experiences, moodle has resulted a great tool for following
the activities during the course and specially after the course, while
people was doing the final assignment, using forum for questions and
reporting experiences and problems (deleting contributions is a big
issue with new users nowadays).
Also, of course a useful repository for reference materials used
during the course (edition guide, our booklet "Wikipedia en el aula",
studies on gender gap, and so on).
Unfortunately, moodle campus of my university doesn't allow guests,
but if someone is interested on visiting the virtual course, I can
send a user/pass by private email.
Saludos,
