Yes, indeed. Â Perhaps Frank can speak to the Global

I'll chime in here -- we're already seeing some excellent work come
out of our India Education Program, where classes started in July.
More than 1,000 students are participating; you can see the courses
students are working on here:

Classes are just now starting in the U.S. and Canada, and we
anticipate having around 1,800 students participating in each country
as well; see the following links for those courses -- keep in mind
that most are just having their first week of classes either this week
or in the next few weeks, so they haven't really gotten started yet:

Thanks for sharing your blog, Juliana! And I do encourage you, as Asaf
said, to update us with reports to the list -- I encourage anyone
running a Wikipedia assignment at any level of student and any country
to do the same!
