Hi Bjoern,I think it's a great idea to create Wikipedia articles for these projects. The article for OER4Schools will need quite a lot of work to make it appropriate for Wikipedia; every statement must be referenced, and it can't rely only on primary sources (e.g. the OER4Schools website).If you know of other sources that discuss the project, please add them or references or list them on the article's talk page for other people to look at.If you like, you could propose similar articles on the WikiProject Open talk page.Thanks,StuartOn 21 February 2014 10:59, Bjoern Hassler <bjohas@gmail.com> wrote:
_______________________________________________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:
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: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
