Hi Zheng, thank you for sharing this initiative! It looks super interesting. Depending on what audiences the study will be targeting, I think you would benefit immensely from talking to a few Wikimedia program leaders that are running Education programs, specifically: - Wiki Edu Foundation (link https://wikiedu.org/). You probably know them, they run Wikipedia Education Programs in the US and Canada. They target university students. - Education Collaborative (link https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Wikipedia_Education_Collaborative). This is a group of experienced program leaders who run Wikipedia Education Programs in different countries all over the world, excluding the US and Canada. The education level here is diverse across countries; it ranges from primary to secondary school and university students.

Let me know if you want to know more, and I can put you in touch with relevant people who would be able to help you.

Best,

María

Hi all,

We are planning to start a new research project aiming at engaging student editors in WikiEd program.

To improve their experience at Wikipedia, we propose that students join a video discussion session with their peers, to share experience on Wiki and have Wiki related discussions. We believe that this would be beneficial for students. As newbies at Wiki, they can mingle up with the Wiki community by talking to their peers. If you are curious about the details, our Wikipedia project page is here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikitalk:_Chatting_with_Your_Fellow_Student_Editors .

We plan to proceed wth our recruitment in early February (when the school starts for spring). Any ideas suggestions on the recruitment should proceed, or ideas on this project in general will be highly appreciated!

Thanks! Zheng
