Help quantify the education program’s impact on new active editor numbers!
by LiAnna Davis 26 May '20

26 May '20

Fellow education program leaders, The Wikipedia & Education User Group has a request for you: Please share the usernames of your participants with us! Here’s why: We would like to quantify the impact the global education program is having on the Wikimedia projects’ new active editor numbers. We think the percentage of new active editors to all language Wikimedia projects coming from all the educational efforts happening around the world is likely impressive, but we have no way of knowing without having access to usernames! That’s where you come in. Whether your program is new with only a handful of editors or a long-established program with hundreds of participants, we want you to be counted. We are measuring our collective program’s impact, and getting data from as many programs as possible, no matter their size, is important! Here’s what we need: * You are best positioned to determine your own definition of which editors come through your education program. Education programs look different around the world; we trust if you say this person started editing through your education program that they are part of our global education community. * The timeframe we are looking for is January 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020 (or today, if you’re sending us names before then). Please share all usernames of new editors who joined through your education program between the start of 2019 through the first half of 2020. * We only need usernames; we do not need the leading User: or which Wikimedia project(s) they edited. * Please send these by June 30, 2020. To share your usernames: * If you are using the Program & Events Dashboard ( https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/), simply send an email to lianna(a)wikiedu.org (offlist) with a link to your campaign. If not every program within that campaign is an education program, include in the body of the email which program(s) should be considered part of your education program. * If you do not use the Program & Events Dashboard, please collect usernames into a spreadsheet and upload that spreadsheet here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/PMJHRjgXuxJsM7yEmdGf (note: you do not need to have a Dropbox account to submit a file here) If you have any questions, please email LiAnna (lianna(a)wikiedu.org). On behalf of the Wikipedia & Education User Group, LiAnna

Hello everyone, The Wikipedia & Education User Group is conducting a survey to understand the technological needs of EduWiki community across the movement.

Every EDUWiki user/leader counts, and the more people fill out this survey, the easier it will be to advocate for our needs. Link to the survey form: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0jupLRlhxRpPGWp Also, as some you of might already be aware that the User Group is organizing EduWiki Conference 2020, in Serbia, we have proposed a grant to WMF in this regard.

Hello everyone, Please join us for an open webinar on the present and future of the WikiJournal User Group and its projects! *8pm UTC 27th of Feb <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=WikiJournals+Open…>* *Jitsi attendance link <https://meet.jit.si/WikiJournalUserGroup>* *Meeting plan and agenda <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HtYenGjKds_JMyL7uIgT8kXKELGwVKeZyZsB5De…>* - 20 mins - Presentation, summary & update of the current project status - 40 minutes - Discussion, questions, ideas & feedback open to all participants We look forward to seeing you there! *Bac**kground:* The WikiJournal User Group runs a set of peer reviewed academic journals <https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group> that have the unique feature of being highly Wikipedia integrated. Papers can include links to Wikipedia pages, figures are all uploaded to Commons, and suitable material (or even whole articles) can be copied over to Wikipedia. In fact, Wikipedia pages have even been submitted to the journals for peer review. The concept is to couple the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the wiki ecosystem. This improves the accuracy of the encyclopedia and its sister projects, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. Authors are treated the same whether they are professors or students, with a focus on the article’s accuracy and referencing. Peer reviews are public (example <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/DwZlCgZovLtAQBXkCxR07G?domain=na01.safeli…>) and 75% of reviewers agree to have their identities open. Article formats are flexible and have included: - Broad review article that also becomes a Wikipedia page (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjs/2019.001>) - Existing Wikipedia page submitted for peer review (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjh/2019.001>) - Focused review articles that have images or text added to Wikipedia pages (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2017.002>) - Technical reviews that can accompany a Wikipedia page (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2019.008>) - Stand-alone research articles (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2019.007>) *Can't get enough?* Follow us at twitter on @WikiJMed <https://twitter.com/WikiJMed> | @WikiJSci <https://twitter.com/WikiJSci> | @WikiJHum <https://twitter.com/WikiJHum> See out application to the WMF to found a sister project site <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sister_Project_application_for_Wiki…> Join the WikiJournals general mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikijournal-en> Read this piece in the *Signpost* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2019-06-30/In_fo…>
