Hi all,
I am looking for a brochure or folder that informs teachers and staff of a university about the advantages/benefits of using Wikipedia in the classrooms, as well as why that is important, good to do, etc etc etc. In other words, a brochure or folder that we can send out to universities to convince. To avoid we invent the wheel, I would be happy to learn from what others use (or know to be used elsewhere) for convincing the use of Wikipedia. Does anyone have an example available?
(I do not see any brochure/folder of this kind linked on https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Brochures )
We are planning (Netherlands) to create such one and I hope you can share good examples with us.
Thanks!
Romaine
Hi Romaine!
I find these two particularly useful:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Education_Program_Case_St...
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Instructor_Basics_How_to_Use_Wikipe...
We have successfully used both in past.
