Max and others,
I would participate in developing this. I think if I were to do this I
would want some other people to look with me and talk with me about what
training materials already exist in any form. I also am having problems
knowing what to do when people ask for these kinds of learning programs and
this sort of course may be a good resource.
Also, why use this platform? What other options are there for platforms?
P2PU is probably a good platform for this type of thing, as that project
has a bit of a grounding in the Free Culture community.
Thanks,
Richard

Dear Max
I was thinking about a similar idea, but aimed to spanish speakers
librarians. A kind of "Wikipedia for dummies" or for dummies librarians....
You say a mini-course, but perhaps it's better name it as mini-use cases:
how-to do a pair of frequently needed task in library context.
How-to insert a cite of a just-released local monograph?
How-to update a bio of an academic of your university?
How-to ....

Open Access Week is upon us,****
I have been brainstorming about how to do something large for Wikipedia
Loves Libraries this Open Access Week. One such idea that I’ve discussed
with Creative Commons is to construct a mini-course on P2PU (peer to peer
University).****
For an example of such a pre-existing short form course see:
https://p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-webcraft/sets/webmaking-101/****
** **
The way I imagined it would be a 4 parter:****
**1. **Learning about talk, history, and users.****
**2. **Learning about wikitext, citations, infoboxes,****
**3. **Challenge, add citations and infoboxes,****
**4. **Extra challenge, upload to wikisource.****
** **
Is there anybody else that would want to help construct or promote this
course for the end of October? Or have any input on using the site, format
or content?****
** **
Best,****
