Thanks for sharing Laura!
How would you think that successful outreach would look? Target a few
lecturers/teachers and speak about this in person/skype? What are your
general suggestions on how outreach may be conducted?
Sorry for taking so long. Having never done outreach of this type before
and with other English Wikinews participants being in a similar position, I
do not quite have a clear idea of the best method to try. I-d be happy to
create materials that could explain why Wikinews would be beneficial for
instructors to have students use. (We have
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/File:Wikinews_LgbT.pdf and a few things at
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Wikinews_training_materials which are
more general.) I'd be happy to speak via skype to anyone interested. We
have people who would be happy to assist in reviewing specifically for
courses, with the idea that reviews should be focused on publishing AND
learning outcomes at the same time. The user base is just geographically
spread out so getting people in person is generally not feasible. If there
were any UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Mexico, Australia events where some
one could speak, we could probably arrange for some one to be there.
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
