*Dear Colleagues,Thanks to Nichole for sharing this great news! At WMUK, we have recently carried out at a research exploring the potentials of Wikimedia projects in digital and information literacy development. We propose a framework of skills and education modules based on the
framework
in the WM context, that are relevant for SDG4.*
*Although the document has a focus on the UK, other chapters and user groups might benefit from our work, and use its findings to develop a similar approach to integrate WM, OER, and digital skill education,
taking
into account, of course, local environmental factors. Please find the document attached.*
Wishing you a nice day,
WMUK team

Nichole this is very interesting and promising! Unfortunately I do
not
have
the time to go through the jargon and add comments... I do however
have
three things to offer that may help (if you - or someone else - would
be
willing to investigate where they could fit in!) I have co-authored
two
conference papers - one in Greek and one in English - on the use of Wikipedia as an OER (Greek) and teaching cultural heritage with the Wikimedia projects (English). The third is a vision paper on Open
Education
in Europe 2030 (this has been published on their website). If you
think
these would help I would be happy to send links :)

*Dear colleagues,As you may have heard, in March I spent a couple
of
weeks
at UNESCO for Mobile Learning Week and to network with folks there
about
global goals for education and Wikimedia in education. A few really
great
opportunities came up, but one of them is quite pressing. The
UNESCO
Communications and Information Sector http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/ (CI)
is
leading the initiative for the General Conference https://en.unesco.org/generalconference to adopt a
recommendation
about
the use of OERs to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4).
Some
background information on recommendations can be found here http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=23772&URL_DO=DO_ TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html. A quick summary is that a recommendation, though not an enforceable
policy
mechanism, requires that member states who apply to it adopt
national
policies that align with the recommendation and report on their
compliance.
Essentially, we have the opportunity to be a part of influencing
policy
around the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) in education.
UNESCO
adopting this policy will mean that governments around the world
will
be
strongly compelled to support the use of OER in education. For us,
this
means that Wikimedia projects will have a stronger reputation in
education
globally. Wikimedia projects are OERs that not only allow students
to
consume information, but that support the critical consumption of information as well as empower students and educators to be content creators. Contributing to this policy recommendation will give us
the
opportunity to advocate for that message, and support the work of
community
members around the world who are doing education programs.We have
been
formally invited to participate in the open invitation for comments
on
this
recommendation, and the deadline is set for June 1. I’m asking for
your
input, so that we can make this comment as a collective. Here is
how
you
can participate: *Read the Recommendation.(There are both English https://www.oercongress.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ Draft-OER-Recommendation-Version-Draft-18-April-2018- text-for-online-consultation-ENG.pdf and French https://www.oercongress.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ Draft-OER-Recommendation-Version-Draft-18-April-2018- text-for-online-consultation-FR.pdf Versions)*Provide your input in this google form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdHGzJZQqs3kbWclQeN5xI7 P9e2OY-mlXDP35PYrXtfNWYB7A/viewform?usp=sf_link by May 18. Please note that the document itself is full of UN and
policy
jargon, and may be difficult to analyze. I’ve included some guiding questions in the google form that will hopefully help you to
provide
input.
This invitation is a good first step in developing a closer
relationship
with UNESCO for Wikimedia projects in Education, and I hope to be
sharing
more opportunities with you in the future. best regards,Nichole*
