Greetings! You may have seen that we have released two more brochures in
the Education lineup, bringing the total to three:
1) Instructor Basics: How to use Wikipedia as a teaching tool:

2) The Syllabus: A 12-week assignment to write a Wikipedia article:

3) Case Studies: How professors are teaching with Wikipedia:

See more about them all here:

I'm really excited to see that the Case Studies brochure (released in June)
has already been translated into several languages:

If I've missed one, please add the category to it on Commons.
I have the design files for all three of these brochures available in both
Adobe InDesign or Scribus. They're in a Dropbox folder, and I'm happy to
share the folder with you -- just email me and let me know which email
address you'd like me to share the folder with. I encourage any chapter or
group working on an education program to not just translate, but also
localize the brochures -- you know best what works with your audience and
your language Wikipedia. I've tried to make it generic enough that it will
be similar across most language Wikipedias, but you are the experts in your
local education system and Wikipedia language, so please update accordingly.
If you have any ideas for other materials that would help you, please let
me know.
Thanks,
LiAnna
