Dear all,
I am currently at the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week, and I thought I'd raise
something for discussion.
*Should there be wikipedia entries on projects that are to do with "open"?
I.e. an entry describing the project?*
*Should there be wikipedia entries on educational projects? *
E.g. the significant UNESCO TISSA project, or the CREATE project
http://www.create-rpc.org/ are not on wikipedia. Larger scale projects,
such as EfA / GMR:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_For_Allhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_for_All_Global_Monitoring_Report
are represented.
Background: People at the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week here are saying that
it's difficult to find out about other projects, and I would advocate that
we should use wikipedia to share basic information, rather than setting up
a separate platform.
For example I've just created this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OER4Schools
It's fairly unbiased, but at the same time, I am a key person within the
project. So while I could defend the neutrality of the article, it may
still be frowned upon.
What do people think?
All the best,
Bjoern
