Hey folks,
I just wanted to share a quick writeup that Andrew Lih did about using ORES https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Objective_Revision_Evaluation_Service' article quality prediction model in the classroom to help students see the impact of their work in Wikipedia. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fuzheado/ORES_experiment
Some quotes from the writeup:
“Yay!"
“Alright!"
"I feel like we’re part of a secret computer club!"
[...] having students excited and experiencing that instant dopamine hit when editing articles is a breath of fresh air when pleasurable interactions seem to be less frequent today than in Wikipedia’s early days.
One important note is that I had *no idea* ORES would be used in this way. In a lot of ways, that's the point of building infrastructure like this -- to empower others to enact their own values.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Aaron!
Cheers, Shani.
