Hello all,
I did a research project to see whether editing Wikipedia improves cognitive skills among students. The results are positive and encouraging. I wrote a blog about the research project.

Hello, Re: WMF funds for a research project.
I am impressed how Wikipedia and reading/editing the knowledge make your eyes opened. Thank you to step forward for us all.
Then, for pages I have read, would you have a look on Metawiki: * [1] the WMF used to have funding for researchers, and now, as far as I see; * you will submit your application as for short [2] or ; * longer Multibyear [3] or by budget volume.
The timing, or timeline, for application varies between those three.
[1] umbrella project and person to consult by Hubs: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants%3APrograms%2FWikimedia_C... https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants%3APrograms%2FWikimedia_Community_Fund§ion=2&veaction=editsource
[2] Rapid fund for shorter and smaller budget: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid

Good luck for you! --Omotecho

Dear Pavanaja Good work! Wikipedia is indeed a good tool to teach writing and research skills. Sharing some thoughts if you are planning to do this course again or to others who may want to try it..
- having some standarised pre-post tests administered to the single group study might be helpful to know to what extent various cognitive skills have developed. - if there are two or more groups then having an experimental-control group would be better. You can always give the intervention to the control group after the conclusion of the study for ethical reasons. - document the effect of collaboration both online and offline. For example, one of the strong points of Wikipedia is the feedback one receives when someone undoes an edit or comments on our userpage. Sometimes this is positive and encouraging, and othertimes it can be negative and discouraging. Offline would be the effect of peer support. What kind of support did the learner receive and for what tasks? - the aspect on creativity and problem solving could be explicated a bit more since it does not appear very clearly - was the collaboration already present in the students before the start of the study or did the tool enable it? To what degree?
Congratulations once again Vikram
