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...

Ole

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 Vćrk project* that has run for the last three weeks on the Danish-language Wikipedia. Students from Řrestad Gymnasium** and Det frie Gymnasium*** have been writing articles about the industrialisation in Denmark, based on materials from Brede Vćrk****, 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.
