There is also another grant of interest from the Inspire campain to the Education program in general:

On my volunteer time, I have been talking to Daniel (the grant nominator) about how to execute a program like this: and he seems to have created quite a coalition of interest at UNL. What's important about the coalition: he is going to be involving a number of people active in the Digital Humanities: a field that has overlapping interests and skills that would be useful for the Wikipedia Education program, but in which we are only starting to see Wikipedia approached as a tool of interest. I would recommend supporting the grant: because it provides us a model of involvement for Universities that isn't just bound by individual classrooms.
