This project was rather museum-centric. Subjects and sources were
determined with the museum setting the scope. That was good, but next time
we may begin with the pupils vis-a-vis Wikipedia, and then let finding
subjects and sources be more open-ended. Or that could just be my wishful
thinking - the structure may very well be necessary...

That's lovely Ole!
Do you have workshops with teachers about Wikipedia and how it works or
how have you organised this so far? So they had three weeks in total for
the whole project? I really like the 12-weeks project suggested by WMF,
you can find it here:

This is week 1 and then you can just click your way through it. There is
a Swedish version here:

Do you think this may help?

The teachers are very keen on doing a project
again next school year. And
three weeks was too short.
The final touch in this project will be an article in Danske Museer (
http://www.danskemuseer.com/) and possibly in a magazine for teachers.

Ole

Today, we concluded the Brede Værk project* that
has run for the last
three weeks on the Danish-language Wikipedia. Students from Ørestad
Gymnasium** and Det frie Gymnasium*** have been writing articles about the
industrialisation in Denmark, based on materials from Brede Værk****, which
is part of the National Museum*****. The project first appeared on our
radar in July 2010, so things do not always move as fast as we would love
them to.
The students were assigned sandboxes to allow them to create their own
articles with minimal interference. Three of the articles have now been
"promoted" to the main namespace, while two others need to be merged into
pre-existing articles, one needs a general improvement, and one needs to be
merged with an article that a group of students created when they tried to
avoid damaging another group's work.
The three-week process has been frustrating (generally in a good way),
but apparently the fear of changing someone else's text is something we
need to work on.
We plan to have more collaboration with the gymnasiums and the museum
in the autumn.
