Hi all,
As mentioned on the Education mailing list, some thematic organizations have already, or will soon, produce training materials for VisualEditor in a variety of languages. Cascadia Wikimedians needs at least a lesson plan for our workshops in April, so I/we will produce materials in English, probably in video form that includes two major sections: about Wikipedia and its sister projects, and how to edit Wikipedia with VisualEditor. My hope is to produce a 30 to 60 minute video that can get new editors to a basic level of Wikipedia competence in one hour including competence with talk pages, notability, copyright, plagarism, conflict of interest, and deletion discussions. I also hope that new editors will feel excited to participate in the community when they finish watching the video. Stay tuned for further developments.
If other English speaking Wikimedians are interested in helping with the production then please email me off list.
Thanks,
Pine
