Dear LiAnna and other Wiki-Edu enthusiasts,
I would like to brainstorm about how we can present information about
COVID-19 in educational material for students at the high school and
university level. Is anyone working on this at the moment? I am interested
in creating the text, but I will need help in creating an interface,
landing pages and graphics. Creating an educational material on COVID-19
can be tricky because the facts are being updated on a daily basis, and
there are no printed textbooks where we can find a model from. But I am
confident that if we have the possibility to update the content from time
to time, it will turn out to be an excellent resource.
Right now, I am mostly doing content creation on English Wikipedia for
COVID-19, but if there is sufficient interest, I can help with creating a
project around this.
Regards
Netha
