Dear friends of free knowledge and education,
On Tuesday, March 30th 2021, we will have our next Open Meeting! Please feel welcome to join us at 4:00pm UTC. See for your own timezone: https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1617120044

We will discuss the shutdown of the WMF's Outreach Wiki and other topics.
Our special guest will be Mossab Banat who will talk about content in Arab language. He is a passionate Wikipedian, physician and Wikipedia Education Program team leader at Hashemite University in Jordan. He is an editor and admin at Arabic Wikipedia. He also a board member at Wikimedia medicine and associate editor at wikijournal of Medicine. He founded a wiki club under the name of Digital Arabic Content Club at the same university. Currently mossab works as Teaching and Research Assistant at the Hashemite and as representative of graduate students at the University council.
I myself will present a plan for a discussion on ethical questions. When we use wikis for educational goals, we have not only to follow the rules of the wiki (or an institution we work with). We want to make sure that no harm is done - to the wiki or to the learners or others involved. We want to give educators and others guidelines or recommendations on how to deal with ethical questions and how to avoid problems.
So, we hope for a large crowd at our meeting which will last for one hour and a half.
Kind regards,
Ziko van Dijk secretary, Wikipedia & Education User Group (EduWiki UG)
