I'm talking to someone from Khan Academy in a few weeks (please keep this to yourselves for now), I know they're planning to open it to other contributors, Wikipedia lessons on it would be really great. 

Khan Academy is an asynchronous MOOC, people don't have a cohort like Coursera or P2PU which may be a bit lonely but may suit Wikipedia editing in one way in that people all have different interests and do different things on Wikipedia. Khan Academy has really excellent structured content which is great for people to a specific goal in mind however it has limited interactivity. I know Charles Matthews a WMUK member is building a VLE using Moodle also with more interactivity. http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Learning_Environment

This is such a fantastic idea. I would urge that such a course also cover the significance of the "open" aspect of Wikipedia -- as relates to various levels: collaboration, governance, re-useability of content, etc. And kind of drive home the meta point that the "open" in MOOC is an important component that means more than just open registration, re http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/34852.

Hi Sage,

This sounds interesting. I tried to open the link but I get an error message. Is it an issue here perhaps? Does that URL work for you?

It works for me. Perhaps there are some DNS issues going on right now? Maybe the HTTPS version will work for you?


Cheers,
Sage
